He's never heard of Skype?: Wisconsin warmist Jonathan Patz to take long-haul fossil-fueled flight to India

UW-Madison researchers to meet with Dalai Lama
Jonathan Patz, a UW-Madison researcher on global environmental health, has been to countless conferences, as have most academics.

But the meeting Patz will attend this week is like no other.

This week, he and a handful of other scientists will sit with the Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, at the Tibetan leader's residence-in-exile in Dharamsala, India, to talk about an issue dear to Patz — ethics and the environment. The meeting is part of a long-running series of conferences sponsored by Gyatso's Mind and Life Institute and is titled "Ecology, Ethics and Interdependence."

Patz is traveling to India with Richard Davidson, the Vilas Research Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry, a member of the Mind and Life Institute's Board of Directors and a friend of Gyatso.
...
Patz is no stranger to ethics and environmental issues. In research published in 2007 in the journal EcoHealth, he demonstrated how the burden of climate change will likely rest disproportionately on the world's poor.
