I feel like we're standing on a sinking ship talking about whether we should <i>build</i> lifeboats, when we should be getting in them. God, the more I read, the more despondent I become about this.

Prof Brook has had plenty of practice in communicating science in the press and on radio. Blogging is a different medium, of course, but the entries so far are admirably pithy, take full advantage of links, and are quite sophisticated in creating and using visual images. Congratulations and best wishes, Barry, hope it doesn't take over your life. The slides Robert linked to contain an amazing array of graphs, where Bolt could get lost forever if he attempted to debunk, cherry pick and spin his way through them, as per his usual practice. If only this quality of information had the reach of the Bolta climate change policy and politics would be in much better shape.
