Climate Change: A Guide to the Information and Disinformation

Publication Date

January 7, 2008

Summary

This online document from the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) is a journalists' resource guide devoted to climate. According to the SEJ website,'[i]t is drawn from the Rolodexes, notebooks, and background files of some of the top reporters in the business. The guide is, and will remain, a work in progress." It is a collection of links, which are at this time (January 2008) primarily United States (US)-based, to various resources on climate from a wide range of sources, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, National Academies' National Research Council, American Bird Conservancy and National Wildlife Federation, Evangelical Environmental Network, Sierra Club, and the Pew Center, among many other individuals and groups. Chapters group the links according to their field of expertise, and, in some cases, give tips, such as: "50+ Really Serious Scientist Sources on Climate (who would probably be glad to talk to a journalist)."
