The Canadians are aiming for their first Olympic Gold, while the Americans are hoping to emerge as champions in front of their home crowd...
Public health could suffer. Rising seas would contaminate water supplies with salt. Higher levels of urban ozone, the result of stronger sunlight and warmer temperatures, could worsen respiratory illnesses. More frequent hot spells could lead to a rise in heat-related deaths. Warmer temperatures could widen the range of disease-carrying rodents and bugs, such as mosquitoes and ticks, increasing the incidence of dengue fever, malaria, encephalitis, Lyme disease and other afflictions. Worst of all, this increase in temperatures is happening at a pace that outstrips anything the earth has seen in the past 100 million years. Humans will have...

We also sought the puerile joy of snowball fights and cancelled classes. A monstrous nor'easter has more potential unifying power than the Game. Deep in our gut, we know that fair Harvard could benefit from...
