AGU: other conference bloggers

Some other people are also blogging this conference. Check them out:

-Andrew Alden, of About.com

- Joshua Colwell, with some good planetary science updates

- Kevin Vranes, who promises a good climate posting shortly

- Google Earth Blog, reporting on the 'virtual globes' sessions here

- Someone over at LiveJournal, with a focus on the traditional conference activities of drinking and hooking up

Gavin Schmidt of RealClimate will be talking about blogging and the global warming debate on Friday - unfortunately, I'll be gone.

And a thanks to Charlie Petit of the Knight Science Journalism Tracker, who thrilled me by linking to my blog ... although it seems to have since vanished off his page. Hmm. Anyway, Charlie - a longtime science journalist, formerly of the San Francisco Chronicle and US News and World Report - does a fantastic job of rounding up science journalism coverage every day, with his indomitable commentary on who's doing the best job around. Check it out.

I’m not sure how I feel about the fact that global warming is being phrased in terms of a “debate,” though I suppose that we have reached a point in history where any topic is ultimately subject to debate. That’s the thing about the post-modern, information age in which we live -- when there is enough information in the system, it’s possible to come up with justification or “proof” to support pretty much any position you can imagine. JFK was the victim of a conspiracy? There are people out there with proof. Lone gunman? People have proof of that too. Evolution is a myth? Here’s some evidence. Creationism is the product of a bunch of crackpots? Here’s some different evidence. So -- 99% of scientists around the world agree about the prospects for our planet. Ah, but hold on -- what of those in the last 1%? The “debate” rages on.

What do you exactly mean by GLOBAL WARMING DEBATE? Does this mean a war of words on this issue? Why? What’s the point of doing this? Don’t you think it’s better to join forces in order to solve the problem rather than quarrel over this matter?
