"The Climate Pool" Facebook group

From the Toronto Star:

In The Climate Pool, a Facebook group about the conference run by 11 news agencies, including the Associated Press, debate rages in thousands of comments. Some cite science, some pseudoscience, some simply their own beliefs. But one question recurs in different ways: Do experts know what they are talking about? Can a belief compete with empirical truth?

From the Guardian:

Today 56 newspapers in 45 countries take the unprecedented step of speaking with one voice through a common editorial. We do so because humanity faces a profound emergency.

Climate Pulse: site the "curates" Copenhagen coverage

Hi All:
Will anyone ever read this poor forgotten blog? Well here I am trying to generate some activity.

I discovered the site Climate Pulse, which aggregates English-language blog posts, news sites, twitter feeds, and a bunch of other web content. It also lets people aka "editors" pick and chose what they want to display on other sites, tag the material and and even conduct a sort of amateur content analysis by determining if the content describes a problem or solution.

Also the UN conference site has a page linking to all the ways people can virtually participate in the conference here.

I'd love to know what blogs everyone chose to follow. I'm following Grist.

Happy coding. (And by the way, thanks Elisabeth, Risto, Ville, and anyone else who put together the really clear coding instructions.)
