Editorial | While climate change is here to stay, deniers need to go away
Sep. 14, 2015In 2006, former U.S. vice president and one-time presidential nominee Al Gore released a documentary and book called "An Inconvenient Truth." Both the film and the book framed climate change as the result of man-made greenhouse gases, all delivered by Gore’s amazing ability to make a PowerPoint presentation compelling. Although climate change has been studied since at least the 1930s, the success of Gore’s documentary propelled climate change to the forefront of people’s minds.

Sep. 14, 2015Speaking personally, football season at UF is the most fascinating phenomenon I’ve ever witnessed.

Everyone’s a little friendlier and anyone sporting Gator memorabilia is automatically a new friend. These Saturdays have an almost religious undertone as students, alumni and fans alike come together to invoke the holy name of Gator football.

Nearly two weeks ago, on Sept. 3, YouTube personality Nicole Arbour published a video entitled "Dear Fat People."

Sep. 13, 2015Hangovers.
