    Rob Paterson mentioned his plan to use Ning for a project in the comments, and now he’s posted in great detail on how he and KETC, and a larger community of public media folks (myself included) are using Ning to track an important initiative that KETC is undertaking to address the sub-prime mortgage crisis. This project is one to watch. So, you have everyone at KETC, you have Rob, you have other partners, and you have a small group of public media

    Are People Finally Seeing Through the Global Warming Scam?

    http://environmentalrepublican.blogspot.com/2008/06/are-peop...

    holes in their case but with fuel prices at historic lows or at least steady, people swallowed the spoon-fed "data" being dished out about temperature rises of 1 degree Celsius and rising oceans despite sketchy science.
