"We began organizing last year, because we believe that Cornell must heed its own climate science when it comes to slashing carbon emissions, avoiding carbon-intensive activities, and transforming their outmoded "business-as-usual" approach. When we shared our concerns with members of the administration, we were dumbstruck by responses we received," said bethany ojalehto mays, Cornell '08 and former Assistant Professor of Human Development at Cornell.

"We decided to produce a satirical film to communicate to the public the absurdity of the administration's priorities. It's one of those situations where you have to see it to believe it. The administration literally said things like, (paraphrasing) 'We can't take radical climate action because we want Cornell to be here 150 years from now. And we're like: wait, did you just hear anything we said about climate tipping points? Cornell won't be here 150 years from now if Cornell and its peers continue to participate in the disastrous status-quo trajectory they're currently on."

“What do we hope to accomplish with this film? Collectively, we need to spur Cornell to respond to the climate crisis at an appropriate level.

The film portrays the hilarity of administration balancing the climate crisis against the demands of a forever growing endowment, new campus buildings, and donor relations.
