Should the World Bank Go to the Brew Pub?

by gmoke

On the afternoon of November 16, 2010, Andrew Steer, special envoy on climate change for the World Bank, spoke at Harvard about "Why Developing Countries Urgently Need a Global Climate Deal ... and Why They Shouldn't Wait for One.”

There was a small reception afterwards with wine and cheese.  At six, Dr Steer was escorted to dinner.  That happened on Oxford Street, northwest of Harvard Square.

At 7, on the other side of Harvard Yard, at John Harvard's Brew Pub on Dunster Street, an Intercollegiate Energy Social for the local Energy Clubs began.  Invited clubs included the Babson Energy and Environment Club, Boston University Energy Club, Fletcher Energy Consortium, Harvard Business School Energy and Environment Club, Harvard Energy Journal Club, Harvard Kennedy School Energy and Environment Professional Interest Council, MIT Energy Club, MIT Sloan Energy & Environment Club, and Tufts Energy Forum.  The social was organized by the Collegiate Energy Association http://collegeenergy.org

What would have happened if Dr Steer had attended the Energy Social?  Should the World Bank have gone to the brew pub?
