Media Climate

There are blogs and sites for everything else but when it comes to the transcendent problem of our age, I have yet to find a really good site for climate information.

Some environmental sites include climate but don't follow the topic exclusively or closely.  Enviro organization sites each have their own issues, and rarely follow what other organizations are doing.  The climate advocacy sites are at best action oriented, or so totally into the social media/twittering world that the information content is low.  High content sites tend to be by scientists and for other scientists.

The Think Progress site, Climate Progress, used to be the closest to a first-read if not must-read for news, information and analysis, but increasingly it's becoming an ego trip and vanity site for its manager, Joe Romm.  It used to feature his likeness at the top, the only Think Progress site to do so, but at least that's gone now.  But at the moment the site is so clotted with fawning posts for his new book that it's embarrassing to even visit.  We're used to cable news hosts and bloggers using their shows and blogs to promote their books, but even by today's weak standards, this site is a scandal.  Even worse, it's not surprising.  The site has been trending this way for some time.  It's too bad.  The topic deserves better.
