93 Harvard Faculty Members Call On the University To Divest From Fossil Fuels

Daniel_Stuckey writes: "One hundred faculty members at one of the nation's most renowned university have signed an open letter calling on Harvard to divest its holdings in fossil fuel companies. Harvard's is the largest university endowment in the world. For the last few years, a national movement has called on on universities, foundations, and municipalities to divest from fossil fuels. Led by students, as well as organized groups like 350.org, it has seen a number of significant victories — at least nine colleges and over a dozen cities have pulled their investments in companies that extract or burn fossil fuels like coal and oil."

Let's test that theory. Ask be one question on each of those three topics. Make it a specific 'yes or no' question. I'll provide a 'yes' or 'no' answer, and then you analyze my position on climate change.

I'll let you know how close you are after you post your results. I promise I am being sincere, and will answer honestly.
