Web Sites

Anyone who has found this web site probably knows that there is an almost innumerable number of global warming/climate change web sites that can be found by googling. I have been disappointed as to how many of these sites are “mouse-trap” sites. That is, having eaten all the interesting “cheese” at the site, you are trapped with no guidance as to help you efficiently traverse the web to other interesting sites (where you might find additional cheese). As always in this chaotic world, there are honorable exceptions to this observation. In any case this page is intended to remedy this deficiency in web-site design.
As for reading and You Tube, I make editorial comments on the web sites I have visited, but invite readers or authors to provide comments and hyperlinks to other web-sites. (So far as possible, I will police this second-hand referencing to delete erotica and other subjects not immediately germane to global warming. Again users are invited to draw my attention to sites the relevance of which to global warming is unclear.)
The Best Site:
You are on it, Sorry About That! If you have to recommend just one site to a friend, this is it www.sorryaboutthat.net (Note: .NET not .ORG nor .COM).
Similarly if your friend has agreed to read just one book then “Global Warming: The Answer” is the one Galley.
Two Excellent Sites:
Two very clean sites that get the whole “revenue neutral, carbon tax” story are: www.carbontax.org and www.capanddividend.org. Both have a good explanation of the proposal, both have current links to relevant articles and good blogs, for those who want to vent. Carbontax.org has a long list of respected people and organizations that support the carbon tax. Capanddividend has a very wide range of topics under it blog-roll for those inclined to express themselves.
While both sites agree on the primordial importance of returning the carbon tax revenue to consumers they differ somewhat as to the level of tax to be imposed, and how it should be rebated. |
