NEW YORK, Nov 12 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - 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."

Global warming threatens the planet's food supply with extreme weather, from drought to more dangerous and destructive storms, scientists say.

The hoax deniers eating less means more for me, no? This will be the best Thanksgiving eva!

[FatherofFive]

As we are all freezing with record cold temps.

"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."

Sounds like a plan to me.

[SkyDancer]

Good. Starve.

[God luvs America]

if they were really serious they would jump off a bridge and become part of the solution rather than remain part of the problem...

Only if you promise to do it on the front lawn. When you are dead, or mostly dead anyway, we will set you on fire and roast marshmallows.

Why didn’t they have a hunger strike 30 years ago when an ice age was promised? Ignore the insane.

[chesley]

Let ‘em starve. Their fate is in their hands alone

[beethovenfan]

Yes, please starve and die.

[Manuel OKelley]

Normally ham and turkey for Thanksgiving but myabe this year I’ll add a sage grouse or some toher evolutionary non viable species as a garnish

[Veto!]

Protestors are certainly addressing their crazy demands to the right person. Pelosi will launch an investigation into Trump, because clearly, it’s all his fault.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

I guess they THINK we care if they starve to death, LOL, I don’t give a damn if they starve to death IDIOTS!!!

Well, that settles it then.

Where do I contribute? Perfectly willing to chow down in front of them! 🍻🍧🍩🍦🍔🍖🍗🍞🍜 Doh! Made myself hungry.

I say we support them wholeheartedly. Flyover country should immediately cease all food shipments to the deep blue metropolises where these moonbats reside. Then we can all sit back and see who comes around to the other’s way of thinking first.

When you are dead, or mostly dead anyway, we will set you on fire and roast marshmallows.

That will contaminate your marshmallows. 😁

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Hmmm you have a point.

[tomkat]

I sincerely wish them all a good four or five months of rigorously sticking with this plan.

(or until they go tits up, whichever comes first ;-)

[Deplorable American1776]

Great News...starve to death, morons... Let’s see... Will America’s Official Crackpot go on a hunger strike? Will Albert Gore, Jr.? Will Leonardo DiCapria fast? (And give up his private jet?) Will Obama fast? (And sell his Martha’s Vineyard mansion for pennies on the dollar?

[oldasrocks]

I would gladly purchase enough super glue to help them starve. Glue both ends shut to help save the planet.
