Protesters vow hunger strike to push U.S. on climate change

Climate change opponents plan to stage a hunger strike to demand a meeting with U.S. Congressional leader Nancy Pelosi, they said on Tuesday, in the political battle over global warming. The protesters said they want a one-hour on-camera meeting with Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, to discuss reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2025. Global warming threatens the planet's food supply with extreme weather, from drought to more dangerous and destructive storms, scientists say.
