In a first for an SkS article, Glenn Tamblyn's A Sunburnt Country begins with a poem and ends with a poem. Sandwiched between the two is an analysis of annual global catastrophic events as determined by Munich re, a major global re-insurance company and their relationship to manmade climate change. This article is destined to become a SkS classic. Kudos to Glenn for a job well done.
Also baring their souls were noted climate scientists Michael Mann in the video, Peter Sinclair interview with Michael Mann, and James Hansen in the TED video, James Hansen's Motivation. SkS author, Andy S, also bared his soul in his poignant essay, Changing Climates, Changing Minds: The Personal.
We've been through climate changes before by Sarah, SkS's youngest author, also drew rave reviews and was reposted on Joe Romm's Climate Progress blog.
