I've been reading a lot of climate science lately, partly for the newspaper (see especially this piece on the warm 2003, which I've mentioned before) and partly for the book.

But even though I delved into the controversies a bit in my ABQJournal piece, I've largely stayed away from the hurly burly of the debate between climate scientists and the skeptics on the question of human-induced global climate change. The whole argument seems so talk radio that I just don't have much stomach for it.

But I poked my story at David Appell, and he blogged it. And the talk radio stuff began. It's been kinda fun, actually, mixing it up. I hope I haven't soiled myself too much in the process. After all, one owns ones posts.
