What else should people know about your site:

DeSmogBlog exists to clear the pollution around climate change science. The DeSmogBlog Project has quickly become the world's number one source for accurate, fact based information regarding global warming misinformation campaigns. Our articles and stories are routinely highlighted in the world's most popular news blogs: New York Times DotEarth, Huffington Post, Daily Kos, ThinkProgress, and Treehugger, to name a few. DeSmogBlog has won the Canadian Public Relation Society's Leadership in Communcation award, and was voted Canada's "Best Group Blog" by their peers. The successes of the DeSmogBlog have attracted the attention of the media in North America and the UK. Our work has generated stories in major traditional media outlets including The New York Times, The UK Guardian, BBC, The Globe and Mail, Associated Press and CBC. In our capacity as research experts in global warming misinformation campaigns we have assisted major media such as ABC News, Associated Press, BBC World Service and The Globe and Mail in the development of global warming story ideas and content.
