Revision as of 16:55, 4 December 2009 by Arthur Rubin (talk | contribs) (Reverted to revision 329635349 by Arthur Rubin; Better with neither unreliable source than both. (TW))(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 web hosting for RealClimate is provided by Environmental Media Services, a non-profit public relations firm, though they exercise no control over the content. The contributing scientists are not paid for their time.
