I’ve been hinting at new things for a while now. Well here it is.. As of today I’ve taken up a new role as Product Development Manager at Green Options.
I’m pretty excited to be taking a challenging position with a great company with many opportunities for the future. I’ve updated my About page, explaining exactly […]

…despite the almost complete lack of posts here in the past couple of months ..
What have I been up to?

Got a new job - more information in the next couple of weeks when I start
Got married - and enjoyed a great holiday afterwards
Implemented a new web-magazine format together with Green Options
Didn’t do much blogging..

Will be […]

Think I’ll start doing it monthly instead, especially since my weekly blogging rate seems to have suffered in the past month.
My current blogging pipeline is overflowing with about 30 post ideas waiting to be written, although I’ve had a few other projects to keep me busy in recent weeks - more news about that […]

Business As Usual For Climate Change? - Following the coverage of controversial new research suggesting that "global warming may be on hold", I’ve looked at how this issue was reported and what this means.
What Is Climate Change Causing Today? - Did global warming cause my computer to die?
Decision Time: The Climate Is Changing - - […]

Thanks Microsoft.
I’ve been very generous to Vista over the past year. Many friends and colleagues, the press, and particularly the blogoshpere have been scathing about its performance, reliability and compatibility.
So far I’ve been confused as to what all these people are complaining about. Vista has some great new features (I can’t live without the search), […]

Bit late with posts this week, having not gotten very much done since getting back from holiday due to some micro-organisms that I seem to have brought back with me..
So here are the two posts that I have managed..
Cars Might Fly - even though I do love cars, I can’t help the feeling that […]

Strange how it takes a while to get going again..
Will be back with more soon - just in case you had thought that I’d disappeared.

I’m unlikely to make any posts next week due to holidays, but in the meantime..

TalkClimateChange Takes a Holiday -Something To Consider In The Meantime - As I’m about to take a short holiday I thought it worth taking a brief step-back to re-think the objectives of TalkClimateChange. Probably not much is going to change, but […]

The New Social Media Democracy - My continued thoughts on the future of blogging.

25 Years Later, Climate Change Becomes the New War? - Commentary on the George Bush climate speech of last week. I wasn’t going to bother covering it, but had to in the end.
The Tide Is Coming In… - Plans to let parts […]

I’ve recently been considering the wider and more long term impact that social media may begin to have on the blogosphere, and on the web-media business in general.
Social media will undoubtedly change things for everybody, from bloggers at the lower end of the media food chain to the global news corporations at the top. Like […]

Been a more than busy week this week, with fewer posts than usual. Nonetheless..

Permanent Link to Grumpy Climate Change Commentator - Bangkok Climate Talks - A post written under the influence of the Monday Blues.
The Spy Who Was "Plane Stupid" - Was about to write something much more boring when this great story came along.

Remember the Live Debate idea I talked about? Here are the results which I posted on TalkClimateChange last week…

We recently kicked off a debate on our discussion forums on the pro’s and con’s of nuclear power. Pitting Rod of Atomic Insights and Matt from TalkClimateChange against each other, we asked if nuclear power really is […]

A brief summary of my posts from this week.

Titanic’s Shipyard Builds Record Tidal Generator - An interesting headline, but not a great story to be honest.
British Busses: Actually Worse Than British Trains? - a topic that I have wanted to get off my chest for a while. Received some nice feedback from it too.

TalkClimateChange
Sir […]

Have been trying out a new idea to fully exploit the green options forums:
Following the news this week about the British Government potentially starting a significant nuclear development program together with France we thought it would be interesting to have an experts debate on this subject – so we are trying out “The Live […]

TalkClimateChange began six months ago with our Forums, which have since hosted a lively debate on all aspects of the climate discussion – a debate which has inspired the TalkClimateChange blog read by several thousand people each week.
To continue to provide you with a lively debate, we’ve become […]
