Further, that they must strive to make the coverage factual and accurate by stopping the farce of "providing balance" to the incoherent ideologues who manufacture claims of scientific controversy, except for the purpose of exposing their frauds and corporate funding.

Please click here to get to the ClimateProgress site and post your own comment. There are over 90 comments to read, most of them very useful, some truly inspiring. And Ross is responding personally to many of them. Something important is beginning to happen here, and we may all want to be part of it.

The ocean temperature was the warmest on record. In fact, it was a full 0.11°F warmer than the 2005 record. This is almost certainly the new El Niño on top of the long-term warming trend, and that means record temperatures are coming and this will be the hottest decade on record.

We simply don’t have the luxury of waiting another 5 years for the next major assessment of climate science, impacts, and mitigation.

The underestimation means that government negotiators meeting in Copenhagen later this year to write a replacement to the Kyoto Protocol will have a tougher task than previously imagined.

If there’s no action before 2012, that’s too late. What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment. So warned IPCC head Rajendra Pachauri last fall when the IPCC released its major multi-year report synthesizing our understanding [...]
