College Fix:
Approximately fifty University of Michigan students and faculty, as well as local residents, laid on the floor at the school’s Museum of Art last week to bring attention to the (dire) consequences of climate change.
Hosted by the UM Museum of Art and Ann Arbor Climate Mobilization, the event had participants “die” for exactly eleven minutes to “highlight the role time plays in the issue.”
According to The Michigan Daily, the die-in coincided with the exhibit “The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene.”
Die-in organizer Morgan Barrie said the eleven minutes corresponds to a recent UN climate report which concludes we have about 11 years to “drastically reduce carbon emissions if we want to avert the worst climate catastrophes.”
Alumna Meg Daupan said she felt “a stronger bond to the earth” by participating in the die-in: “It felt very powerful to feel connected to be aware of what’s happening.” more here
Michigan?
Joe Biden is going to be even more confused…
This is an event for people who confuse ‘activism’ with doing something of value. If CO2 is really poison then let them quit breathing.
@TRTS: you’re right. We need to see concrete action from these people. If they think it’s REALLY a cause to die for…let them be first.
Here’s how I would act at a die-in:

@TommyBoy: The funny thing is that they believe this kind of social media circle jerk nonsense is brave and important. Dying for a cause is fine with them, but only if someone else does the dying.
Wow! A whopping 50 people.
We deserve to boil and bake in the flooding seas because so few care about the planet sized catastrophe bearing down on us.
The clever teachers know how to get the students through “nap time”
smoothly during a long day of school.
“Attack of the Drama Queens!”
Didn’t the Union maggots do something similar back during the Scott Walker bruhaha?
izlamo delenda est …
Good grief.
You’re in MI – the climate will change again in October.
It’ll chance again in January, too.
And next May.
Satisfied now, libtards? 🙄
“Naina Agrawal-Hardin, a 16-year-old student from the Washtenaw International High School, started off the speeches. Hardin spoke of the urgency of the issue, especially for her generation.
“I work about 20 hours a week on fighting climate change,” Agrawal-Hardin said. “I don’t get paid. I write to representatives, I answer questions about getting involved from other teens…”
Nor should you “get paid” Naina.
Honey, get yourself a summer job at Java Juice…or babysitting, or dog walking. Heck, I’d even pay you to go away.
It’s like holding a die in as a call to action on the sunset.
I’m surprised of how many of these people confuse carbon dioxide with carbon monoxide. I’m serious they don’t know the difference.
