Two taxpayer-funded college presidents and the president of Americas largest university-based climate alliance traveled a combined 8,426 miles this week to meet for slightly over an hour to discuss strategies for carbon reduction.
The climate leadership meeting occurred on Monday at Agnes Scott College, a private, all-female bastion of about 1,000 students in the Atlanta suburb of Decatur.
The meeting lasted one hour, seven minutes and 21 seconds, according to the YouTube video which captured it for posterity.
Speakers at the meeting included Ball State University president Paul Ferguson, Portland State University president Wim Wiewel and Tim Carter, the president of Second Nature, a Boston, Mass.-based coalition of colleges dedicated to fighting climate change.

By and large, college presidents are not academics. Most possess plastic degrees in nothingness. The true academics are practicing math, physics, technology, etc.
And those who believe in the human caused climate change obviously avoided their “Physics for Poets” class because it had too much math.
Couldn’t they have done this via video conference?
Liberals!!!
Who gets the carbon credit miles? The buffoons from the “colleges” or the taxpayers who paid for the trip?
Had a discussion yesterday about solar energy-—really big here in Nevada.
Friend has a long time friend who is a solar engineer.
Engineer stated that systems DO NOT last much more than 10 years, and there is no way to do any maintenance by the homeowner to extend that life. The 30 year life of the systems is bunk.
The carbon footprint created by the manufacture of all the components & installation of the solar systems is far larger than ANY savings produced.
This solar crap is all a hoax, along with climate change being caused by man.
Wim Wiewel
Babawawa, is that you?
NO!
Haven’t they ever heard of “Go to Meeting”, a Citrix software program that allows to to attend distant meetings virtually?
A very good question,... you racist!
I don’t have Go to Meeting, but I LOVE their Go to my PC program and use it al the time!
So going solar is not really helping save the planet and all that???? Who knew??? The liberals would be shocked to hear this............
This reminds me a bit of the story of electric cars. Liberals love to push electric cars, but, do not consider that the electricity to recharge the electric cars will come from coal fired power plants in many areas of the country.
If we could magically have tens of millions of electric cars on the road tomorrow, we arguably would be producing many more of their dreaded green house gases, as we would have to produce that much more electricity in fossil fuel fired power plants to generate more power to recharge their electric cars. But the liberals don’t think things through; don’t think of “unintended consequences” of what they want to see happen.
Liberalism. It’s easier than thinking.
The reality of modern liberalism exists within the boundaries of Lies, Deception and Fraud. As totally conjured as Obama’s past.
“This reminds me a bit of the story of electric cars. Liberals love to push electric cars, but, do not consider that the electricity to recharge the electric cars will come from coal fired power plants in many areas of the country.”
Yes, electric cars only make sense if they get their energy from nuclear power plants. Same here in California where we would be on our way to fixing our water shortfall if we had major desal plants co-located with nuclear power plants. We’ve not build a major storage reservoir since 1979, when our population was half what it is today, to say nothing of the continued expansion of agriculture here. Unfortunately, like most everything else here, water is now political instead of a basic resource.
