Talk is cheap among economists recommending action vs. climate change.

Half of 365 economists who had written about climate change recommended “immediate and drastic action” by governments. Another 43% want “some action.”

This economist ponders the matter:

It’s possible that most of the 339 economists who advocate government action to combat global warming are investing in these ways.

But I’d make sure that they are so investing before even considering taking their policy advice.

Seek knowledge thru justice? Not vice versa?

Where did this Loyola U.-Chicago student get this quote about Jesuit education? 

“This directly contradicts the spirit of Loyola’s jesuit [sic] mission, a mission that encourages students to seek knowledge through the pursuit of justice,” a statement from one group of students said.

“It undermines the Student Promise to care for community, a commitment to making our community and the world more equitable and just. The chilling effect is palpable.”

“Seek knowledge through the pursuit of justice?” Not “Seek knowledge  as guide to pursuit of Justice” or something like it?

This melding of the two is weird
