    Icon8 Hunger strike for the climate

    I'm going on a hunger strike to push 7 emergency measures to the Belgian Government: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH-nekaVvzk (it's in Dutch though)

    Pffff... do you think your government can be blackmailed into something because some kid threatens with self-harm? The entitlement, the foolishness...

    Nobody will give a flying and you can permanently damage your health if you overdo it. Just saying.

    Have fun, though.

    What's the point of doing it in Belgium when it counts almost nothing in total population? Why don't you instead advocate stopping aiding the poor, no more food or medicine, and stop all the peace missions? There wouldn't be a problem if half of us die at birth, a third kill each other before 20 and the rest die of some horrible disease at 50 instead 80. You can even save the pension and medical insurance!

    Bottom line is we don't need to do anything. It will come, most humans will perish, then with severely decreased population the planet will be fine again. It's the same way with overpopulated wild animals.

    I think the OP is just trying to be proactive along the same lines. Get enough people to fast for long enough, and the population could plummet even sooner.

    Or poison the food from Aldi? Lace social security cheques with cyanide? Release lions into prisons? Make sperm donation illegal? Abortion vouchers from the state? Random and mandatory castrations? Fortify Ibiza with a thousand AA guns and shoot down all of those obnoxious chav s? Make auto-erotic-asphyxiation cool again with celebrity endorsement? Use chemicals to make everyone gay, not just the frogs? Jaime Oliver could do a new book on cannibalistic dishes? Install all Humvees with explosives to be detonated with the sound of any Nickelback song.
    There are easier, more humane, more practical, less painful and more beneficial ways of thinning the herd and/or reducing pollution.

    I second the last one, as long as the explosives are kept inside the passenger compartment. No sense in harming innocent metalheads with shrapnel. Might also upgrade to sound-tracking AT-4s on the roof of every car, tuned on Bieber...

    What about a new religion that calls everyone to go straight to heaven?

    Ah the things we do and how we try to change the world when we're young.

    Let us know how long this lasted. It takes a serious mental and physical toll on the body. Whatever the result, you will surely learn some life long lesson from it. Good Luck.

    We're just hoping people will come to their senses and realize this world is either 1) hopeless, 2) not worth saving, 3) both.

    I'm quite certain that the planet doesn't care how many people live on it. It's a non-sentient ball of matter floating in endless void.

    If our world is a closed ecosystem, less humans in total = more resources for each human. More room for cows, air pollution and garbage, and easier for the nature to recycle the massive amounts of we create everyday.
