The Eco-Critic
http://ecocritic.blogspot.com/
This blog aims to discuss the political issues associated with global warming and climate change. It seeks to address the problem from a non-ideological perspective, from neither left or right, but from the viewpoint that this issue transcends our petty political divides. Over time the author hopes to expand the scope of the blog to deal with the emergence of eco-critical issues in the humanities.
