A prominent New York lawyer has died after setting himself on fire in Brooklyn's Prospect Park to protest against the use of fossil fuels.

David Buckel, 60, had been well-known for his work on behalf of the LGBT community, as well as with environmental groups.

A suicide note near the lawyer's remains said he had immolated himself using fossil fuel to symbolize the damage humans are doing to the Earth.
Crazy gonna crazy.

How do you get so triggered that you think setting yourself on fire is a viable option. He is going to be known as that dumbass that set himself on fire and died instead of the great activist he believed himself to be.

LOL this dude is doing liberal wrong - you're not supposed to protest in a way that is going to inconvenience you in the least.

Wear a pink pussy hat for a day or something you moron.

Great, just great. Now all his carbon is in the atmosphere. There goes the ozone layer. All the penguins are probably dying right now. Well done counselor.

Very symbolic. A noble cause. But the suicide was carried out by a depressed person, not an activist. He's probably been thinking about killing himself for a long time.

I doused myself in fuel before. Not on purpose tho. I was starting what turned out to be a long venture into a fuel map and I learned how to combine many different cuss words

Hopefully this sends a message that manmade climate change is something EVERYONE should take seriously and is not just a political issue.

Also RIP

The only thing I can think of that may be a result of climate change is hedgehogs. When I was a kid I'd always see dead hedgehogs at the side of the road but I reckon I haven't seen one for 15 years now. People don't hunt them or anything, they just doing I guess
