...extending its lead to 6-1 as the final seconds counted down. Clark made four saves in her 33 minutes of play before being switched for junior Katherine Martino. As Dartmouth scored three goals in the first seven minutes of the second half, the Crimson began to turn the heat on. With three saves from Martino, Harvard’s attack began to take more attempts at Big Green junior goalie Julie Wadland. Crimson freshman Tyler Petropulos finally stopped Dartmouth’s streak with her 16th goal of the season, after taking a pass from Flood, to get Harvard...
...Heat waves, droughts and mass extinctions are all potential threats from climate change. But the scariest risk has always been that of rapid sea-level rise caused by the collapse of the massive ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. There is enough water locked on Greenland alone to raise global sea levels by 23 ft. (7 m) if it melted, which would swamp coastal cities like London and Shanghai and all but wipe away small island states like the Maldives and Tuvalu. We can likely adapt, expensively, to higher temperatures and changing precipitation patterns, but it's difficult to imagine...
...please, it may take a while before we notice that those are often the changes we need to make most. We ran a good long road test of the premise that more is better: we built houses that could hold all our stuff but were too big to heat; we bought cars that could ferry a soccer team but were too big to park; we thought we were embracing the simple life by squeezing in a yoga class between working and shopping and took an extra...
...change,” Soon said in an interview with The Crimson yesterday, adding that most observed climate data could be explained by fluctuations in solar radiation. Sunspots—pockets of magnetism on the sun’s surface—generate high levels of energy, which then heat the Earth’s atmosphere. Soon told TG Daily that the lack of additional energy resulting from a decrease in sunspots is directly responsible for colder temperatures experienced in recent years. He said that, as of last week, there had been sunspots on only 11 days this year...
Scan the bare figures and China appears to be on the skids. Exports are plummeting, experts are slashing growth forecasts and unemployment could rise to its highest level since 1949, the year the People's Republic was founded. But if President Hu Jintao feels the heat, he isn't letting anyone see him sweat. Despite the massive challenges Beijing faces, the Chinese leadership seems to regard 2009 much as Michael Corleone viewed the day of his godson's baptism in The Godfather - this year, China settles all business...
