A Bad Climate for Divestment
Harvard should fight climate change by other means
By The Crimson Staff
Published: Thursday, September 27, 2012

In the fall semester of 2009, a group of Harvard students founded a college chapter of Students for a Just and Stable Future. The group has made it their mission to further the battle against climate change by seeking to construct a fossil free future. They have recently announced their desire that their respective universities should cease to invest in corporations involved in the extraction, production, or distribution of fossil fuels. We agree with the qualms raised by SJSF about the future of our environment and welcome their goals to increase investment in green technology.

The Crimson must learn the basics of the climate crisis and its impact on our world before publishing such an article. The world’s foremost experts on human rights have long acknowledged that these issues are at the very core of the climate crisis: The United Nations Human Rights Council passed a resolution in 2008 stating that “climate change poses an immediate and far-reaching threat to people and communities around the world and has implications for the full enjoyment of human rights.” ….more.
