Letter to Editor, The New York Times: Self-Immolation Climate Protest


To the editor:

When the historic climate talks begin in Copenhagen on Dec. 7, there will, of course, be many colorful and creative protests by social activists from around the world. There will be large balloons floating above city squares with banners protesting the continued use of coal and oil and other fossil fuels. There will be
marches, sit-ins, outdoor parades and a many a loud "cri de coeur" from concerned invididuals and groups visiting Copenhagen.

One protest that has been planned involves a team of climate activists unleashing a controlled, non-fatal self-immolation protest using Hollywood stunt suits so that nobody dies or gets burned from the very real flames. The group is calling itself SIPREP (self-immolation public relations protest). To see projected and rehearsed images, go to: http://northwardho.blogspot.com
