New Scientist Environment blog


I typed "Environmental blogs" on Google and got into New Scientist Environmental bolg:

http://www.newscientist.com/blog/environment/

I started scrolling the blogs at different dates and the thing I liked the most is the fact the content is always changing. The blog is very diverse. For instance in September 2008, the writer wrote an article about Hurricane Ike that hit Galveston in September and compared the hurricane with Katrina. The articles gives you a lot of information about how the city of Galveston is structured etc...This information is vital for the readers in order to understand the damages.

Then, next to this blog, another blog about Palin and Mccain. The title is:

"Palin and McCain: At odds over the environment"

I really find interesting that the blog also deals with politics and how the former presidential candidates positioned themselves with regards to the environment and climate change.
To me, this blog is just average on the outlook but it is "Awesome" in terms of the content. New Scientist is magazine and a website. The website contains 76,000 content pieces. It shows that the information is not just average, but very dense. This is the reason I found the blog awesome because its blog contains so much detailed information about the environment, most of the data collected by scientists directly.
I like this blog because it is educational and I can learn a lot of info about climate change, but not just how to recycle cans. I learn also about environmental policies across the globe, new scientific discoveries to protect the environment, environmental politics in the U.S. This approach is very broad.
The last article I read was titled: "Five nations under threat from climate change". Here is the link:
http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2008/11/top-5-islands-that-are-going-t.html
I think this article is amazing because instead of giving you a region attacked by Global warming, the article is precise giving you the 5 nations under threat. It really shows how detailed the information can be in that blog.

I think your blog finding is great. it is diverse and covers different aspects of environmental issues. Environment is very different from politics but these times they are very close to each other but it seems that the less important is being superior to the most important.

This blog that you found is very educational and have good source in it. Politics and environment are total different things. Sooner or later, environment is our number 1 issue.

Very cool site. I love information concerning science and the environment probably thanks to my mom's passion for it. A lot of good info on there.

I agree with the what you said about politics and how it ties in with the environment. It's a very hairy subject when it comes to curing this problem when it comes to politics. I hate the fact that money dictates what we will do and what we will not.
