NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Holy cow!
These environuts are going to kill all of us. Why do we send so many of our stupids to university?
Such a proposition would be less hypocritical if those environmentalists pushing for it could confirm they personally use no fossil fuels whatsoever.
Uh oh. That just might be the proof of the fossil fuel industry-funded denier conspiracy they were looking for. Of course, they’re good at finding what they’re looking for even if it isn’t there.
I’d love to sign. I’d be the only artist on the list, and I’m afraid I would be next to useless in a debate with informed opponents.
To clarify, I teach fine arts studio and art history at a small American college. I doubt my colleagues would be very happy to see my name on that list as well. But I would welcome thinkers from the humanities to sign on. Don’t we need some of them too? (of course most of uninformed seem to COME from the humanities disciplines, shame on us.)
It would be the Humane thing to do.
The “divestiture” pushers are like, or are literally, spoiled children who have no inkling where the fat and easy lifestyle they grew up with came from, and what continues to support it.
Let them divest and invest in ‘Green’ companies so that they can reap what they sow.
