...hand in bringing them about. The wealthy, industrialized West, meanwhile, will largely be able to afford to avoid, adapt to, and rebound from crises. Despite our lower vulnerability to the effects of climate change, we have a moral obligation to act on this issue. Greenhouse gases released at Harvard affect the whole world. In fact, their negative impact is much more likely to be felt in Anchorage or Mumbai than here in Cambridge. Additionally, as one of the most respected institutions of higher education, Harvard’s decisions about climate change policies will likely influence other universities and organizations...

Those of us who are true (admittedly irrational) fans have long understood that our emotions and our rituals affect the play on the field. So we must replace our negative fears about what is wrong with absolute certainty that this will pass so that our confidence in him can restore his confidence in himself. P.S. In the 1950s, when Brooklyn Dodger first baseman Gil Hodges was in an equally terrible slump, entire parishes prayed for him. And I gave...
