Harvard University announced yesterday that it had received a $200 million gift from Melanie and Jean Eric Salata, which it will use to establish the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability, providing a campus hub for multidisciplinary research and education about climate and the environment.
The Salata Institute will provide support for researchers studying climate, environmental sustainability, and specific topics such as the use of low- and zero-carbon energy. It also aims to educate Harvard students to become leaders in the field of climate change and environmental challenges.
The first round is already underway, with 41 concept proposals submitted by Harvard researchers. Final selection of projects to be funded is scheduled for this fall.
The Institute will also fund small grants for researchers who are not currently studying climate but want to begin to investigate issues in that area, as well as for faculty who are working on climate and want to begin new projects. The Institute is expected to stimulate cr0ss-campus collaboration on climate crisis research, education and outreach.

$200 million gift to push a Scam
Too bad there isn’t any such thing. But it gets you a lot of attaboy heatpats while on Gaia.
Are the admins all green?
Living in tiny homes powered by solar and wind?
If these two fools really believed in the propaganda they are financing, shouldn’t they have Required Harvard to be Completely Free of Carbon based Energy and be strictly on Green Renewable Energy to receive the money??
Grant money. It draws “researchers” like honey draws flies. Whole faculties caught up in this almost autistic obsession with an imaginary problem. Reminds me of Gulliver’s travel to Laputa.
I am continuing to be puzzled at how apparently intelligent people like this donor couple can be so totally hornswoggled by the global warming grifters.
More propaganda pushers
They must have needed a tax brake.
Billionaire suckered by con game.
Jean Salata is a Chilean citizen, with a net worth of $5.4 billion, according to Forbes. He is the chief executive and founding partner of Baring Private Equity Asia. In March 2022, Baring announced it was being acquired by Sweden’s investment firm EQT for $7.5 billion, a deal expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022.
