• DeSmogBlog (motto: "Clearing the PR Pollution that Clouds Climate Science"): http://www.desmogblog.com/ This is a fabulous Canadian-based site featuring top U.S. and Canadian contributors. When a new backlash or controversy starts up on climate change (anywhere), I 'dcheck here first. Excellent investigative work. (They have plans to do a U.S. version, which is something worth supporting -- they are a great antidote to the professional denier bloggers).
