Al Gore: I'm Gonna Start Acting Crazy
Al Gore details the ways that we can address climate change in his new book Our Choice. But on Saturday Night Live he said he has a new backup plan.

"I'm gonna start acting crazy. I think it's crazy that our politicians aren't more worried about the climate crisis," he told host Seth Meyers. "So it's time for us to out-crazy the crazies."

One of his ideas for mildly amusing stunts involved dumping ice water on members of Congress with a note saying, "We're melting, love the glaciers."

His other idea was reminiscent of many environmentalist demonstrations, with a silly twist. "I'm gonna start planting trees in politicians' front yards in the middle of the night and tape toy guns to the branches pointed to the door," he warned. "So when they wake up and walk out of their houses in the morning, they'll think it's the forests coming to get their revenge."

He eventually admitted his pranks were outlandish and hit on four key points. He insisted, however, that if we don't stop the climate crisis, "Instead of science, I'm going with crazy."

New Solution to Global Warming: Kill Your Children.
As this item was being written, a Swiftian satire was published at Pajamas Media titled: A Modest Proposal to Prevent the Pernicious Warming of our Fair Globe it calls for:

To wit; that it be enacted as the cornerstone of the necessary reform of our health care system, that, prior to engaging in any action that might potentially extend a human life, that a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional simply be required to file an environmental impact statement in which the carbon emission consequences of said life-extension are clearly set forth and arrayed against any environmental benefits that might ensue from the preservation of the individual in question.

I imagine that we would now have to put any human activity that involves conception, pregnancy, and birth into that category.
