Back in the Square, Harvard students began gearing up for their vacation, with a few lucky souls already having departed for warmer (or colder) climes...
...winter chill is beginning to pierce through our fleeces in fair Cambridge. Thousands of miles away in warmer climates, workers are risking their lives to produce T-shirts and sweatshirts and baby bibs with the Harvard insignia, so that we might wear our allegiances proudly...
...called greenhouse gases such as CO2 were not curbed. Estimated temperature increases over the next 100 years are between three and 11 degrees Fahrenheit. This upper bound is up from 6.3 degrees estimated in the last report in 1995. In comparison, current temperatures are only nine degrees Fahrenheit warmer than at the end of the last Ice Age thousands of years ago, but it is not necessary to look at the worst-case scenario. Even the lower bound of three degrees Fahrenheit would be the fastest warming over the course of human civilization...
...next 100 years could, in a worst-case-scenario, raise the average global temperature 11 degrees Fahrenheit; and no matter what precautions we endeavor to undertake, average temperatures will rise by at least three degrees in that time period. In contrast, current temperatures are only nine degrees Fahrenheit warmer than they were at the end of the last Ice Age. These findings are unique in that they represent the closest the scientific community has ever come to a consensus on the issue of global warming; previous data to date has been conflicting and inconclusive...
...determinant of our future. The simple truth is this report provides us with the documented, undeniable proof that our behavior has significantly impacted worldwide climate trends, and that the alteration of those trends has in turn resulted in shrinking glaciers, thinning polar sea ice, retreating snow packs, warmer average global temperatures and disturbances in the flow of water within the oceans. Whether or not one feels that these changes wont be as bad as predicted, or wont cause problems as quickly as suggested, it is irresponsible--and no longer possible--to ignore the problem out-of-hand...
