Science has published an article urging more environmental scientists to take up blogging. Nick Anthis has a summary.
The article gives examples of "excellent, informative sites":
Mark Lynas,
RealClimate,
Climate Science,
James' Empty Blog,
DeSmogBlog,
Prometheus,
Science At Stake,
ScienceBlogs,
Scientist on ice, and
Climate change conference weblog.
A pretty good list, even if I do so say so myself.

For anyone interested, I would like to share an email I just received:
Mark Lynas » Golden promise: How ‘biofortification’ could soon be saving hundreds of thousands of lives.
"Gobal warming is not about overconsumption, morality, ideology or capitalism. It is largely the result of human beings generating energy by burning hydrocarbons and coal."
Mark Lynas has a posting on this (sadly I can't work out how to link to it directly, so I'll have to tell you its the Oct 19th post), saying that various from the NOC have nipped off to the states in a private jet. Which is probably dubious.
Climate science is understandably covered well, but what fields are missing? What other aspects of environmental/earth science should there be blogs about? Land use change, natural resources/hazards, ... I'm interested in what others think because I'm looking for a niche to fill.
