A climate activist who died after setting himself on fire in front of the Supreme Court on Earth Day is a buddhist who hinted at his future self-immolation with a fire emoji under a Facebook post from 2020.

Wynn Bruce, 50, of Boulder, Colorado, lit himself on fire on the court's plaza at around 6.30pm Friday.

He suffered critical burns and was pronounced dead at a local hospital on Saturday.

On October 30, 2020, he shared a link to an online class on climate change offered by edX, a free online course platform created by Harvard and MIT.

Last April, he went back and commented: '4-1-1 4/22/2022,' along with a fire emoji.

Surveillance footage of the immediate aftermath of the fire show police officers as they attempt to calm Bruce, who can be heard screaming in the background.

Police are still investigating a motive, but a Buddhist priest from Boulder took to Twitter to clarify that Bruce's death was not a suicide, but a 'deeply fearless act of compassion.'

Liberalism really is a mental disorder.

Didn’t the self immolation release CO2 into the atmosphere? Seems like a strange way for a “climate change activist” to go.

Build a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for the day.

Set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.

It would cut down on carbon emissions. They would be the most unselfish people ever by acting on their principles.

“Maybe if all the left-wing nuts who believe in climate change were to burn themselves alive, we would have global warming.”

And not have to hear any more about it to boot!

Nah, it was suicide under the spell of not one but two ridiculous cults.

Maybe the Leftards will 'rename' Global Warming as a tribute, call it Global Wynnming and inspire more nutroots to copycat.

And he added to global warming by immolating himself.

Her friend burns himself to death and she is “moved.” This is how very demented they are. Beyond sick.

“This is a deeply fearless act of compassion to bring attention to climate crisis. We are piecing together info but he had been planning it for at least one year. #wynnbruce I am so moved.’

How much CO2 did this guy release during this little stunt?...Selfish bastard.

Worse than that, he likely used fossil fuel…..

Must have been from Dumbassistan. Any of his uh, associates willing to do their part? Asking for a friend. Will he be euligized as “Flash” or just a flaming liberal.

Don’t forget, these people think they are much smarter than us and that they are our betters.

Gas prices are high but the cost/benefit ratio still good here.

Twitter video taken immediately afterwards. Fast forward to :35.

Do not watch this if this kind of thing disturbs you.

He should have jumped into a vat of acid and dissolved himself. But no. Now he is atmospheric carbon floating all around us and trapping heat.

He used fuel. He should have used electricity.
