...week in Texas, competing at the Texas Southern Relays on March 23 and 24 and the Victor Lopez Bayou Classic at Rice this past weekend. The events were the Crimson’s first of the outdoor season, and the team got a critical training week in better weather.“It’s a really important week,” junior Christopher Green said. “Just having a week out of the classroom, where you’re in a nice environment with warm weather where you get to focus on training twice...
Though it was not Harvard’s first glimpse of bad weather on what the team had hoped to be a sun-only trip, the conditions on Saturday for the Crimson’s match against the Broncos proved to be just bad enough to derail its hopes for a winning road trip, as Harvard fell to Santa Clara, 4-3, on a blustery afternoon...
...Swedish chemist, but early by most measures. We published our first cover story on the topic in October 1987. "It is too soon to tell whether unusual global warming has indeed begun," wrote Michael D. Lemonick. But if the climate did begin to change, we could expect "dramatically altered weather patterns, major shifts of deserts and fertile regions, intensification of tropical storms and a rise in sea level...
Nevertheless, adaptation has implicitly emerged on the American agenda, thanks to Hurricane Katrina. The earth's weather system is too complex to pin blame for Katrina definitively on global warming. But unusually strong hurricanes like Katrina are exactly what scientists expect to see--along with fiercer heat waves, harsher droughts, heavier rains and rising sea levels--as global warming intensifies. If the nation is serious about rebuilding New Orleans and its neighbors, it must make them as resilient to global warming as possible. "We have to fight for New Orleans," says Beverly Wright, director of the Deep South Center...
Certainly, if you're going to design a green building, it's smart to do it in San Francisco, where the generally mild weather makes it easier to let your surroundings set your temperature. But what about a place like New York City, with its 100F summers and 10 winters? Bank of America is currently tackling that challenge, with a 945-ft. tower in the heart of Manhattan that will use recirculated heat and natural gas to produce some of its own energy and use it more efficiently. Higher ceilings and insulating glass will reduce temperature changes and maximize available...
