See, some special brainwashed climate cultists at St. Johns College wanted the school to divest from fossil fuels. And bursar Andrew Parker had a reply for them
Oxford official to students demanding divestment:
"I am not able to arrange any divestment at short notice. But I can arrange for the gas central heating in college to be switched off w/immediate effect. Please let me know if you support this proposal.”https://t.co/Q0MBDNCjVU

You aren’t going to be able to read the article, because it is behind a real paywall. Which is sad, because The Times Of UK has some really good articles. Anyhow, this caused the students to melt down, with them responding “This is an inappropriate and flippant response by the bursar to what we were hoping would be a mature discussion. It’s January and it would be borderline dangerous to switch off the central heating.â€
And Mr. Parker had a reply for them
Oxford official back to students demanding divestment but opposed to having the (gas) heated turned off: https://t.co/vJMkETvEm4 pic.twitter.com/am5j073loc

Excellent. “It is all too easy to request others to things that carry no personal cost to yourself.” I might have to change the tagline in the blog header to that.
The Wall Street Journal covers this story, and notes that the school has $10 million of its endowment invested in Shell and BP. That investment helps run the school. Someone in the WSJ comments writes “EnviroFascists version of NIMBY.” Warmists are rarely willing to practice what they preach, but they are happy to try and push it on Other People.
