Carnival of Carbon Neutrality

I only had one submission to the Carnival of Carbon Neutrality this week. At first, I was not even going to consider this entry, except I really want people to see what kind of discussions are going on out there in the blogosphere.

Next is come commentary on the culture of global warming and how the press handles the topic.
