What's on your blogroll?
I'm currently trying to put together a list of environmental blogs that we should watch for touching. The natural starting point was my blogroll, but it soon became obvious that it reflected more my personal preferences than something others could work with. I then looked a bit further, browsed newspapers websites and blogrolls here and there, asked Technorati...
I found some great stuff that I had barely looked at before, discovered a few hidden gems. However, it still feels that I may be missing something, and that the mother of all environmental blogs is still out there. I'm also short on specialist blogs, while generalist ones are a pound a penny. So I'm asking you, Greenpeacers from everywhere, what blogs do you read, before or after this one? What's your blog (don't be shy, self-promotion is authorized today)? Are you more interested in general blogs like Grist or Treehugger, or specialists, like RealClimate? Comment away!

I may be biased, 'cause I write for them, but DeSmogBlog is a great environmental blog, dedicated to "clear[ing] the PR pollution that is clouding the science on climate change."
I'm pretty sure James Inhofe doesn't like us much :-)

My blog is the SocialVibe blog - thevibe.socialvibe.com - we cover environmental/green issues, but from a younger perspective, and we write about charity/pop culture/community news as well.
The blogs I read for my green gab are:
ecorazzi.com
good.is
thegreengirls.com/blog
greenlagirl.com
maxgladwell.com
treehugger.com
plentymag.com (going out of business soon)
thegreenguide.com
ecostiletto.com
surfrider.org/blogger/blogger.asp
and of course... this one!
I also suggest checking out http://green.alltop.com/ to see all the top environmental news.

Grist is good but US centric, but the US really matters.
How do us single language English speakers get a handle on what is happening in China on climate change - because China really matters too!
Same for India, Indonesia, Russia Japan and Brazil - many of the major emitters by volume are not really reported in the English language press.
Could GPI arrange a blog in English (and Chinese and Spanish and other popular internet languages) which summarises the main climate stories from those other countries, even if only updated once a week)

I am based in Western Australia and I write the only environmental blog in this country (the world?) that takes mostly literary and historical approaches to the subject:

My friend Pete Adams in Tasmania writes my favourite environmental blog:

Here's a great blog for environmental activists when speaking to naysayers about climate change.
http://www.desmogblog.com
Here's their bio:
The DeSmogBlog Project began in January 2006 and quickly became the world’s number one source for accurate, fact based information regarding Global Warming misinformation campaigns.
Our articles and stories are routinely highlighted in the world’s most popular news blogs: New York Times DotEarth, Huffington Post, Daily Kos, ThinkProgress, and Treehugger. The DeSmogBlog recently won the Canadian Public Relation Society’s Communication Leadership in Communcation award and was voted Canada’s “Best Group Blog” by their peers.
