Revision as of 19:31, 27 July 2006 by William M. Connolley (talk | contribs) (rm " (edits Misplaced Pages as User:William M. Connolley)" - self ref; bleongs on wmc page if anywhere)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)RealClimate is a commentary site (blog) on climatology by a group of climate scientists for the interested public and journalists. It aims to provide a quick response to developing stories and provide the context sometimes missing in mainstream commentary. The discussion is intended to be restricted to scientific topics and to avoid political or economic implications of the science.
The members of RealClimate are:
- Gavin Schmidt
- Michael Mann
- Eric Steig
- William Connolley
- Ray Bradley
- Stefan Rahmstorf
- Rasmus Benestad
- Caspar Ammann
- Thibault de Garidel
- Raymond Pierrehumbert
The editors of Scientific American recognized RealClimate with a 2005 Science and Technology Web Award, writing:
A refreshing antidote to the political and economic slants that commonly color and distort news coverage of topics like the greenhouse effect, air quality, natural disasters and global warming, Real Climate is a focused, objective blog written by scientists for a brainy community that likes its climate commentary served hot. Always precise and timely, the site's resident meteorologists, geoscientists and oceanographers sound off on all news climatological, from tropical glacial retreat to "doubts about the advent of spring."
