A noted scientist may have found a formula for turning a pot of coffee into a pot of gold.
Former Columbia University researcher Kristopher Karnauskas yesterday filed a $10 million suit against an Arizona hotel, claiming its percolator shattered in his hand, hurting him so badly he couldn’t deliver a speech on global warming.
And what’s more, the 27-year-old climate scientist claims he can no longer play his trumpet.
His conflict with the carafe took place in January at a Phoenix Marriott, where he’d planned to deliver a speech on “The Response of the Equatorial Pacific Ocean to Global Warming.”
A shard of glass severed a hand tendon, he said.
The hotel did not return calls for comment.
