To no one's suprise, gpwayne's Why climate change contrarians owe us a (scientific) explanation generated the most comments of the articles posted this week. John Cook's SkS social experiment: using comment ratings to help moderation also created a buzz - primarily because it was designed to solicit feedback. Rounding out the top three comment generating articles was John Mason's A rough guide to the components of Earth's Climate System.
“You can’t afford being a climate skeptic, living in the Arctic,” said Johan von de Gronden, chief executive of the World Wildlife Fund in the Netherlands.

Ethics and Climate seeks to increase and deepen public reflection on the ethical implications of human-induced climate change among policymakers, the public, non-government organizations, and journalists.
This site examines the ethical dimensions of climate science, economics, politics, policy responses, trading, atmospheric greenhouse gas stabilization goals, as well as the obligations of nations, governments, businesses, organizations, and individuals to respond to climate change. The site also follows the positions taken by national governments in international climate change negotiations and subjects their negotiating positions to an ethical critique. The site also examines arguments made by proponents and opponents of domestic climate change policies through an ethical lens.
