Where did you read 'everyone'? Hmm, maybe you've got an agenda. Anyway, did you know there are journalists whose speciality is science and the environment, who write well and persuasively about it? Perhaps not. I just wonder why they would send an opinion columnist up north, a place of vital importance scientifically, environmentally and politically. Perhaps she paid her own way and decided to write a column about it. Or perhaps the G&M is lazy when it comes to these sorts of things. Who knows.
