DeSmogosphere (plural desmogospheres) noun

Definition: a collection of blogs dedicated to helping reduce carbon emissions and/or report on the activities of the global warming denial industry.

Based on reader feedback, we have decided to add an up-to-date section in the bottom right corner of DeSmogBlog called “In the DeSmogosphere.” It will contain hot posts from other bloggers listed in our “Links, Bloggers and DeSmoggers.” We wil be focusing mainly on all the great work bloggers are doing in the areas of climate change reduction strategies and sustainability.

If you’re a “green” blogger and would like to be added to our blogroll, drop us a line at desmogblog[at]gmail.com.

And if you think there’s a story we just have to include in “Around the DeSmogsphere,” as always, feel free to send it along.
