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:

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?

Since there's no pay ("intern" = no pay), it will take a true believer to get the position filled. Who works for no pay? True believers.
It's by the Heartland institute though, who are just a little skeptical about catastrophic man-made climate change.
Which probably explains why it's an intern job. Pro-AGW organisations get funding!
