...French President Nicolas Sarkozy was just as adamant. "We can't afford failure in London," he said after Sunday's meeting. "We have to succeed and we can't accept that anyone or anything will get in the way of this summit, which will be a historic summit. We will be successful [because] if we fail there will be no safety...
After pulling off a dramatic 22-point comeback Friday night in order to ensure victory, the Harvard women’s basketball team knew that it could not afford to fall into the same hole against Penn on Saturday night.

It's an interesting issue, just in the same way that green was political issue, and then it became a moral issue. There's the fundamental realization that...
...This may seem pessimistic, but unfounded optimism is a privilege humanity cannot afford with only one planet to protect. Scientists have informed us of the imminent dangers of global warming, and we have the tools at hand to combat it. All that is needed now is a concerted, united effort to effect change. Those who deny the geological deterioration that is likely already underway are both foolish and disrespectful to future generations of our species and others. If preserving life on Earth as we know it is not reason enough to pay higher taxes, take public transportation...
