How to conduct a successful climate change strike

Thomas J. Piccone  "Recent efforts to organize a climate change "strike" have brought together countless thousands of young people, supposedly across 4,500 locations in 150 countries, to demand that action be taken to address climate change.  The total number of people involved has been estimated to be several million.  After all of the protesting, it has been admitted that the entire activity has accomplished essentially nothing.  There is a better way to conduct a climate change strike so that it is more successful, even if it does not produce the same level of media coverage.

The genuine way to conduct a climate strike is to do nothing.  This sounds like a surrender and an attitude of apathy.  However, what I mean is not that everyone simply continue their daily life and routine as though there were no problem to be faced.  That is never what is meant by a strike.  What I mean is that the way to conduct a serious climate strike is really to do absolutely nothing.  Let me give some details to help the climate change striker to have a measurable effect on reducing fossil fuel usage and the production of carbon dioxide during the strike, and also to have a real impact on the world.

"On the day(s) of the climate strike, it is best not to get out of bed at all.  Any physical activity by humans results in the emission of more carbon dioxide anyway, which is counterproductive.  It is best not to eat or drink anything, because large amounts of energy are used in the production of food and water, and these must be kept to a minimum.  In this case, zero is probably an unattainable goal, but it is necessary to aim low.

"Next, the climate change striker should not turn on any lights or use a phone or computer or television or any other electrical device or appliance." . . .
