Greenies take a beating on fossil fuel divestment at Harvard
By Monica Showalter
Is the green fraud finally dead? Probably not, but when you've got Harvard students rejecting a free-and-easy-to-sign petition for university divestment from fossil fuels - in droves - you know someone's wising up. Maybe this is the start of something.
Here's what the Washington Examiner reported:
In response to recent doomsday predictions by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a number of Harvard students decided to take matters into their own hands by calling on the administration to completely divest all financial holdings in industries associated with fossil fuels. According to the petition, Harvard has an obligation to divest its funds due to its significant role in the “global economy.” < >
...and...
Despite their efforts, a measly 166 individuals have signed on to their Change.org petition, which accounts for roughly 0.36 percent of the school’s 40,818 students and faculty. According to journalists for Harvard’s student newspaper, the Crimson, administrators have “flatly rejected” the idea of immediate divestment.
