Protesters vow hunger strike to push U.S. on climate change
Climate change opponents plan to stage a hunger strike to demand a meeting with U.S. Congressional leader Nancy Pelosi, they said on Tuesday, in the political battle over global warming.
The protesters said they want a one-hour on-camera meeting with Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, to discuss reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2025.
“You have yet to pass even symbolic legislation recognizing the climate crisis as a national emergency. With all due respect, you have failed,” they said in an open letter.
“Meet with us or leave us to starve while you jet to your Thanksgiving feasts and cocktail parties in the glow of a burning world.”
Well, good luck with this. I don’t think Pelosi cares. They could have voted on the Green New Deal resolution, which was purely symbolic. They didn’t. Heck, Democrats blew a gasket over Mitch McConnell holding a vote on the GND in the Senate, and none voted for it. Even Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has mostly given up on tweeting about it.
(Pelosi) has resisted a Congressional resolution called the Green New Deal backed by progressives that seeks a 10-year, government-driven effort to promote clean energy and make the nation carbon-neutral by 2030.
Pelosi has said she welcomes the “enthusiasm” behind the Green New Deal but in an interview with Politico, an online news site, called it a “green dream.”
No matter what you say about Pelosi, she is no idiot. She sees the polls and knows that pushing ‘climate change’ may be popular in theory, but not in practice. She knows that passing, or at least attempting to pass legislation would hurt Democrat chances in 2020. You can bet that once the Democrat primaries are done that ‘climate change’ will mostly disappear from their campaigns, just like it has in 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004, and 2000.
The protesters said they will launch a week-long hunger strike on November 18, 10 days before the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, at Pelosi’s Washington offices, elsewhere in the United States and in other countries. They are part of Extinction Rebellion, a grassroots green movement launched in London in 2018.
This should be fun. Will they be super-gluing themselves to stuff? The optics will not be good for the climate cultists.
None of them the courage of conviction to fast until they assume extinction.
“Meet with us or leave us to starve…”
Oh, my – whatever shall we do?
If it has an end time limit, they it’s not a strike, it’s a fast. Big deal!
there is the solution to climate change. If 6 billion people starve themselves to death the rest of us will be SAVED!!
