I look forward to its continuation, and I congratulate the participating authors on their erudite and insightful writing.

How about more than 1 per day, though? I certainly would enjoy (learn) reading more from your experts. They are good, very good. Yep, for one posting per day, you’ve done extremely well.

This said, folks should visit your (also) new site. It has a lot of information and is a bit different from Climate Depot on one side and WattsUpWithThat on the other. We all need to find our space, and a group blog such as MasterRecource may be the way to go in an increasingly crowded and specialized blogosphere.

I'm a big fan of your blog. I've linked to many of your blog's postings and will continue to do so. I consider yours to be one of the best and a 'must read' for my own education/knowledge. With that said, please don't become a "legend in your own mind". I started my site about the same time as yours and I'm at the 200k mark in views; I am a nobody; I have no all-star names posting for me; I have basically a 'no comment' policy on my postings that would attract return visits; no Facebook presence; and, so on. And to keep 'bragging rights' really in context, ClimateDepot.com started several months after both of our efforts, and now Marc M. is averaging about 200K views per month. Good for him; humbling for the rest of us. My point? Yes, one needs to stay blog-humble and just keep delivering the quality content. Your readership will continue to climb significantly because of your great quality, not because of periodical "view" hype. C3 Editor, www.c3headlines.com Congrats. I’m a big fan of your blog.

I'd say the foe is the ALARMIST and NEO-MALTHUSIAN anthropogenic global warming (AGW) crowd. They make the unmerited jump from a human influence on climate to the human influence being bad. Some do this by exaggerating the human influence (such as uncritically accepting the high-sensitivity climate models); others in the policy activism camp think nature is optimal and humans just should not be a part of things. How to get natural scientists who just don't like free-market capitalism per se (they feel 'left out' of progress, somehow) is a real challenge. I just hope the 'government failure' toward energy will get them to see 'market failure' in a new light when it comes to endorsing government intervention in the name of 'energy sustainability.'
