For myself, I will confine my list to an award to the Ecomyths Best Blog of the Year and for 2008 that award goes to Climate Resistance for their consistency of writing, the topics they tackle and their excellent assessment of situations.
This sample is from their last post of 2008:
See everyone in 2009.
This sample is from their last post of 2008:
- This isn’t really a story about ‘bad science’, or bad journalism. Though it is worth asking what the point of journalists actually is if they can’t reflect critically on whatever it is they are reporting, to ask about the direction it will take us in, and what interests and agendas that are being served by the use of this kind of ‘research’.
- What is really curious about this all too common phenomenon is the gap between ‘research’ and the story lines it is used to construct.
- If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the last 18 months, it’s that stories about climate change may be wild and preposterous just as long as they encourage the idea that climate change is getting worse.
- You can pluck something out of thin air, and no one will call you a denier, nor challenge your sanity, motivation, or moral character.
- Lies are allowed, just as long as they are ‘good’ lies, and help people to believe that the world is on the brink of collapse, even if the facts don’t support the idea.
See everyone in 2009.
