Commenting on “Carlton protester dices with death in hunger strike”

Paul Connor does not get a sympathy vote from me. His inaction of doing something constructive, sitting for more than a month outside the Parliament House, makes him just as useless as the rest.

Paul Connor does not get a sympathy vote from me. His inaction of doing something constructive, sitting for more than a month outside the Parliament House, makes him just as useless as the rest.
If Paul is really passionate about the climate change issues, he should start demonstrating and giving talks to the public especially the younger generation how he can help to bring about a clean and healthy Earth - he will use a bike or walk instead of a car, install renewable energy generator, drink from glass bottle instead of plastic one, (photo of Connor in the paper shows that he was holding a plastic bottle of water) grow his vegetables instead of buying from green grocers, turn off his heaters and wear more clothing, etc.
Words are cheap - are Paul's ideals implementable ideas? Almost all the people in the world fail to realise that the experts and governments concentrating on slowing down climate warming will not avoid any future global destruction. Paul, should the climate change gets worse, are there any escape routes for the victims? Why don't you start "preaching" / campaigning for funding in global cooling research?
Einstein was not accepted by his peers when he talked about the Theory of Relativity. Climate cooling is not that farfetched. Is it?
