As I have revealed, I have been given a spot in the 2nd part of the European Journalism Centre global blogging competition on climate change: TH!NK ABOUT IT #2. I like it a lot so far. So does someone else because we've been nominated for an award already.
We're not even a month into it and already 331 articles have been written. I can only encourage you to subscribe to the RSS at once - but here is a quick and short selection of some of the contributions that I have liked the most so far.
The obligatory: Lucy Setian
This article wouldn't be complete without a mention of Bulgarian Lucy Setian. While none of her contributions haven't really stricken any of my personal chords yet the reasons for her success is obvious: good, personal, locally flavoured stories using YouTube videos and... SEO bait like articles about "green sex" or "cute" animals. Check it out.
The Blog Action Day 09 ultra meta blog post
Doing a three month blogging project on climate change many opted to join Blog Action Day this year. Why not. See A global challenge: Climate change, hunger and migration by Austrian Andreas Lindinger for such an example. And one that uses links the way links are supposed to be used. Many of them. While putting the subject in perspectives that it really is meaningless without.
The über-post: climate change scepticism and reason
I like Climate Change scepticism, science and reason
by Federico Pistono because I agree with it - it rephrases some of the points I have been making over and over myself (here at Newsvine and elsewhere). Such as the fact that I don't "believe" in climate change. Add to the philosophy a couple of videos telling the story of the theory of climate change (BBC series beginning 1979). And an update on the currently most often misreported science.
The blogosphere celebrity
Don't miss Indian Hemant Anant Jain. Perhaps it's just me, but having already subscribed to this guys blog (The Great Indian Clearance Sale) it was a bit weird to see him in Copenhagen to realize we'd both been accepted for TH!NK ABOUT IT. He's been taking it slow but is doing good stuff with home made graphics to go with it.
The best post yet: A comic!
"Read" Why I think change is good for you by Swedish Mattias Adolfsson. Not later, now. We can do our reasoning in risk management terms using scientific and economic lingo - or just use 12 frames of drawings. Good job, Mattias!
Anyway, those were just some of my personal favourites among the other "contestants". Soon the hosts will pick theirs as the first month of blogging is drawing to an end.
Please do feel free to tell me about posts you like - it's a hard job to read all of it and I've just come home from a trip to a Polish forest.
PS: Yes, space guy, there are "sceptics" in the project too ;-)
