Pope says humanity will 'go down' if it does not address climate change Pope Francis said the recent spate of hurricanes should prompt people to understand that humanity will "go down" if it does not address climate change and history will judge those who deny the science on its causes.

We have our second meeting of the year this Thursday at 7pm in Woodburn 009. We hope to see you there!

Omg, what if??

Impenetrable logic.

"For our colleges and universities, upholding the Paris Agreement must include divesting from fossil fuels. Only then will they show that their commitments to scientific inquiry and social responsibility are more than just slogans.

We all should be furious about Trump's & the GOP's decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. This is terrible policy, and we should all RESIST-BUILD-RISE. What a sad day for our future, for the United States, and the world!
