Blogging the science and policy of global warming

International Blog Action Day

The author of today's post, Sheryl Canter, is an Online Writer and Editorial Manager at Environmental Defense.

Annie Petsonk, International Counsel for Environmental Defense, keeps an eye on happenings around the world. It was from her that I found out that the European Union's Commissioner for Environment, Stavros Dimas, has dedicated today as International Blog Action Day on the environment.

Commissioner Dimas asks everyone with a blog to post a climate-related message today, and he held an online chat on his blog from 8 am to 11 am U.S. Eastern Time. I took a quick look, and people were weighing in from all over the world. I couldn't read the comments in Greek, but the English ones made some interesting points, and the Commissioner was active in responding.
