When you see leftist propaganda touting that a contagious disease is reducing carbon emissions published in a top university’s tech magazine, one wonders why we continue to subsidize these institutions with government grants.

That and trees in London.
I used to respect MIT until 9/11..... they blew it!
I’m sorry that MIT has bought into the GoreBull Warming idiocy. I thought they were scientists.
Proof you don’t have to be good at math to attend MIT

I’m sure they are going by those before and after satellite pictures of China while it was on lockdown.
It already has. The air over China is a lot cleaner than it was two months ago.

Envirotwits could always save the planet by taking themselves out of the equation.
MIT = Intellectuals Yet Idiots!
What, exactly, do you disagree with?
What? No, “OK, Boomer”?
“... has already killed thousands and forced millions into quarantine”
The virus hasn’t forced anyone into quarantine.
Obviously, though, it’s a good idea to spread people apart to retard the spread of the virus.
