Climate Scientists Drag Gutless Politicians In A Savage New Sketch On ‘The Project’
"Studies show citizens are twice as likely to vote if they're still alive."
The team at The Project have released a brutal new sketch aimed at politicians who refuse to take action on climate change, inviting them to sign up for The War on Everyone Being Dead.
The sketch highlights the latest report from the United Nations which drives home in grim detail just how much damage we’re doing to the planet. And how have Australia’s politicians responded to this report? Well, they’ve pretty much ignored it. Which isn’t really a surprise, to be honest. After all, there’s an election to worry about!!
Here’s the thing though: there’s no point in having elections if everyone is dead. As the sketch points out, “not dying horribly is important to people”, and voters are much more likely to turn out at the polls “if they’re still alive”.
“It’s time to try something more persuasive than the threat of utter annihilation,” the sketch argues. “And what do politicians love more than dry-humping a coal mine? A bloody good war.”
“War on terror, war on drugs, war on crime. All the war! So we need politicians to step up and get behind the War on Everyone Being Dead.”
“Previous wars have relied on dodgy reports of weapons of mass destruction,” the sketch continues. “In this war there’s already loads of reports that have been peer reviewed. Finally you can begin a war based on actual evidence!”
“You’ll go down in history as heroes. Children will learn about you in school. Because there’ll still be schools. And children.”
