...potentially positive effects of climate change, at least in the short term, is that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may enhance the growth of plants. That could be good for agriculture - though warming temperatures and changing rain patterns in a warmer world might wipe out that advantage. But there are no unalloyed gifts from climate change. Recent research suggests that global warming will also exacerbate respiratory allergies, as higher CO2 concentrations lead to vast increases in ragweed pollen production. "There's no denying there's a change," says Paul Ratner, an immunologist with the American College...
Despite the drizzling rain, students gathered for a night of food, rides, games, and live music on Friday evening at the Harvard Carnival in Tercentenary Theater. Tracy M.

My sister also showed up - looking for a shower and some air conditioning. Houston was built on a filled swamp, and it's hot and humid on the best of days in the summer. Throw in a hurricane and torrential rain storms, and it's a miserable place to be without air conditioning...
