  • AboutThis is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from. You can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.
  • Blog RulesClimate Etc. aims to attract diverse perspectives and allow free discourse.  While I look forward to an open exchange of ideas, I understand that some moderation is necessary.  A real working email address is required, so that I may contact you if needed.  I am going to start with the door wide open, although if I get inundated with unacceptable posts, then first time commenters will require approval. Objectionable posts will be rejected or snipped, and I will do my best to spot them in a timely manner.  Repeat offenders will be blocked from posting.  If this happens to you and you are prepared to change your ways, send me an email and we can discuss the issues. If your message doesn’t appear and you feel that it should not have been rejected, please send me an email as it might have gotten caught in the spam filter. Strategies for making effective posts: Respond to the argument, not to the person.  What another participant stated on another blog in another context should not be used to discredit or otherwise challenge the participant.  Changing your mind in response to new evidence and arguments is valued here. Only respond to comments thatu0026hellip;
