Or just virtually arm wrestle over? Anyway, the American Meteorological Society has just created a new climate policy blog. Judging from the witness list (Oppenheimer, MacCracken, Kammen, and others), it shouldn’t be too long of a rise into the Technorati charts. It will be fun to see what this excellent list of cats, herded together by Paul Higgins, has to say over the next few months and years. (Good work, Paul.)

Of course, y’all can already see some places where we’re going to differ. From climatepolicy’s about page:

Policy choices will likely serve the interests of society most effectively if they are grounded in the best available knowledge and understanding. Therefore, we will promote objective understanding of climate change related issues rather than specific policy options.

For us around here, that statement is particularly timely. Lisa Dilling was talking about that very issue this past week. Lisa, is this what you meant by the “loading dock” approach?
