Apparently the privileged protestors will be doing without heat in their dorm rooms this winter in Cambridge and New Haven....NOT.

They were lucky Mike Curtis of the Baltimore Colts wasn't in the house. Lot of restraint shown by the participants and coaches.

The last :01 of the Lehigh-Lafayette game seemed to take FOREVER. I was actually worried that there might be an anti-coal protest breaking out during the final timeout.

I can't do much to develop tour sense of humor but fixed the grammar. Autocorrect loves to change "there" to "their".

Plot twist - game is temporarily halted after 2OT to bring in fossil-fuel guzzling temporary light fixtures in order to continue the game. Hilarious nycru! Maybe they won’t be able to play on this field anymore because it’ll be under water due to global warming/climate change/global cooling or whatever else the totalitarians decide to name it!

They weren't smart enough to get into M.I.T.

Rumor has it the Yale participants got on their (fossil-fueled) shuttles back up to campus after the game and headed to their (fossil-fuel) heated rooms immediately after the protest over investments in fossil-fuel companies and the burning of fossil fuels. And then flew and drove home for the holiday.
On the one hand it is enjoyable to snicker at the backfiring Ivy display of empty virtue-signaling, but on the other I have a feeling students at an uber- progressive school in Worcester are quite capable of similarly pea-brained gesturing.

While I joke, I firmly believe that climate change is a major issue that needs to be addressed now in order to preserve the environment for our grandchildren and future generations.
I also believe that the vast majority of scientists who say this is a serious concern should not be ignored as they are experts and simply caring what happens during our own lifetimes would be selfish and go against our Catholic Christian obligation to care and protect God’s gifts to us.
As for whatever the Harvard & Yale students did, I haven’t a clue.

Many posts I'm reading here remind me of the criticism leveled at the students (I was one of them) who were protesting the Viet Nam war in the '60s and '70. For me, climate change, like that war, has existential implications.

Harvard student and know-it-all David Hogg tweeted that if something is not done right now, the human race could be extinct in 50 years.
Apparently he did not recall that quote in Matthew which reads: "But of that day and hour no one knows, no, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone." (Guess that's not on the Harvard freshman curriculum...)

For me, climate change, like that war, has existential implications. No doubt folks are free to criticize protesting students. I think the students expect that. Or should. FWIW Vietnam, Global Warming, Nuclear Weapons, etc. were/are serious topics (even for those who don't interrupt football games).

After all, Al Gore, himself a Hahvahd man, said in 2006 that by as early as 2013, there would be no summer ice in the Arctic, and he was right, wasn’t he? Oh wait. Never mind.

I think you need to refresh your recollection about the anti Viet Nam protests, Many of them would make what happened in New Haven seem like child's play (e.g. Kent State, 1969 Democratic Convention, Columbia University, and on and on and on).
There would have been no demonstration at Yale if our current leader in Washington had not pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accords.

Mark me down as one who respects one’s right to exercise their rights under the First Amendment. At the same time I adhere to the view articulated by AOC’s colleague and many more that the true agenda of the Climate Scam is an economic assault on capitalism. #BeatMonmouth 🏈 www.independentsentinel.com/aocs-cos-admits-the-shocking-reason-for-the-climate-change-agenda/Of course highlighting this brings this topic into restricted political terrain. So now I will stand down. Happy Thanksgiving

you don't get it. Kent State, Columbia U etc. were openly organized as antiwar protests. no attempt was made to sneak in and disrupt an event.i.e. piss people off.
btw, there was no Democratic Convention in 1969. the D.C. was in 1968 when there was a presidential election.

I remember 68 and the Chicago demonstration very well: MLK and Bobby K were killed, I graduated from ND, enlisted in the Navy and voted for the first time. Plus Abby Hoffman was from you know where. Moose, you seem like a great guy. Many of the protests were specifically designed to piss people off. Do you think the takeover of Columbia's Administration building was announced in advance and was not disruptive? This is my last post on this topic.
