Let’s Redefine Goals

I’m vastly aware no-one/very few people read this… hence it is going to become way for me to organize and publish my thoughts, and work on communicating and recomending in a public forum.

However, I’m hoping to encourage readership in Spring and have something meaningful by summer.

Here’s what that requires of me:

More effort

Consistant Blogging

Interesting Commentary

Spreading the word

Sometime soon after Feb. 1 I will be moving to a movabletype client hosted on my own website, at which point this will become more serious about the whole deal and focus on the goals.

Goals:

120 Posts between Feb. 1 – June 1

20 Articles, reports, summaries, etc. each of a minimum one page… of higher quality then the posts

Significant readership (I don’t know what number is a good goal, I think 50-75 feels do-able.)

Cancún Climate Failure?

Many will agree that the supposed diplomatic triumph at the Cancun climate talks offered little tangible progress to further reduce emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
