Take That, You Mainstream Science Guys!

When I arrived on campus today, I noticed that the ubiquitous green newspaper boxes that normally carry a daily dose of college newspaper goodness were empty or still sporting last Friday's edition. Thinking that the kids at the Daily Emerald must have screwed the pooch and not gotten an edition out, I headed over to the webpage for some sort of explanation.

There is no apology for not getting the edition out, nor any overt explanation as to why there are no hard copies available in the boxes, but today's top story might provide some clues.

A Global farce?
A number of researchers say that despite public opinion, global warming may be a result of natural causes

That's right, it appears that the Emerald has come out against human-caused global warming.

All I can say is, WTF? No wonder they don't want to print that shit.

Awesomely Emerald

Writing with the big group means that I feel a little awkward about bashing on the local college paper, feeling like I should be playing at a higher level. Still, I can't let this editorial go, as it echoes one of my main beefs.

According to Meredith LaFrance, buying organic fruit and vegetables is not worth it because it costs more. Sure, it's better for the environment, but it costs more, so it's a hassle and not worth it.

I'm not entirely sure why this observation is worthy of being published, but Meredith had words and the Emerald had space, so here we are.

As always, I call on my GTF friends to flunk this person without mercy.
