Sorry for the draft climate model post with a broken link. I clicked Preview, WordPress decided to Publish, I yelled at the computer and reverted to Draft. Apparently, in the two seconds the post was published, it found its way into all the RSS feeds and email subscriptions. The completed post should be up in [...]

Do not burn yourself out. Be as I am – a reluctant enthusiast… a part time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it [...]

For a long time I have struggled with what to call the people who insist that climate change is natural/nonexistent/a global conspiracy. “Skeptics” is their preferred term, but I refuse to give such a compliment to those who don’t deserve it. Skepticism is a good thing in science, and it’s not being applied by self-professed [...]

My presentation went very well. The church group was full of kind, educated, and passionate people. It was nice to have an audience that wasn’t full of high school students who thought science was boring! After the presentation, a woman in the group shared something with me that she found at a conference in Australia [...]
Self-Taught Climate Science

If you haven’t already guessed, I am a real math and science geek (and rapidly becoming a computer programming geek as well). So, when I got my first taste of quantitative climate analysis from Dana’s articles over at Skeptical Science, I was really interested. It will be a while before my education takes me in [...]
New Year Gratitude

A very happy 2011 to everyone. I thought I would write a New Year’s post like last year’s. ClimateSight wouldn’t exist at all without my very best friend and partner, who, after listening for months to my rambles about climate science and policy, set me up with a blog. Since my first post, he has [...]

Recently, Anna Haynes made a great suggestion for an image collection page, similar to our existing quote collection. So, here you are!
Some More Housekeeping

I have started a new page of climate change quotes, and thought I would point it out here as I d0ubt the page will show up in people’s RSS readers. Please submit your favourites in the comments of that page!
New Theme!
Posted in Musings on November 23, 2010 | 6 Comments »
Any thoughts on the new theme, “Pilcrow”? I chose it because it’s the most customizable you can get without paying WordPress.com to edit CSS. The custom photo header, which I’ve wanted for a long time, is of a gorgeous mixed forest along the Ottawa River in the fall, just outside Parliament.
Slight Changes in Comment Policy
Posted in Musings on October 28, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I’ve made some tweaks to the comment policy – like all aspects of this blog, it’s a work in progress – and I thought I would share them in a brief post. I’ll make changes in the sidebar, too. First and foremost, I’ve decided to stop replacing comments with [inflammatory] – instead, they will not [...]
