A small non-profit concerned with climate change is seking a "Climate Wiki Intern" which sounds very interesting. Knowing that many of my readers would be very good at this, It thought it was worth a blog post to point you in this direction:

Welcome to the first post in my new National Geographic ScienceBlogs column “Significant Figures.” I look forward to sharing my thoughts with you on a wide range of environmental science-related issues, data, and people, and to a productive and constructive interaction.

Wait until the interview:
What are your thoughts on climate change?
Do you believe the science is settled when it comes to anthropogenic global warming?
Do you think as a society we need to stop using oil and coal?
For my money, unless your answers are a close variation of "It doesn't exist", "No", and "No", you won't stand a chance of getting hired.
They are looking for someone who believes what they want them to believe.
