Since a few readers have asked me "how I do this", here are some notes on the software etc that I use:
1. I do most of my work on a dual-processor Macbook Pro; my home internet connection is 12 Megabit DSL.
2. I use Google Reader with 140+ subscriptions. If you're curious, I've exported my subscriptions to an XML file on Dropbox here.
3. My browser is Firefox; I regularly run a number of searches of news, blogs, Twitter, YouTube, etc (example: "cap and trade" OR "carbon tax")--maybe 14 different searches in 14 different tabs. I also regularly check sites like Climate Depot, Celebrity Paycut, the Guardian's climate change page, etc.
4. I get a number of tips via email (if you'd like to be credited for a tip, just let me know).
5. When I get up in the morning, I often run through all of these sources and find maybe 60 links that interest me. I mark these with a Firefox add-on called Read It Later.
6. I can then run through the 60 interesting links using a Firefox add-on called ScribeFire, which allows me to highlight some text, then quickly post it. I usually add several items to a given post because Blogger limits me to 50 posts per 24 hours.
7. Within the last year, I've picked up an iPhone, which allows me to browse my RSS subscriptions from almost anywhere, then add new links to my Read It Later list. An iPhone app called "Reeder" is handy for this. I've set up my Blogger account so that I can put up new posts via email.
8. My total compensation for doing all of this is zero dollars per year. I think the global warming hoax is a destructive, evil thing, and I'd like to contribute to its decline.
9. If you find an interesting global warming story, please consider pointing it out by starting your own blog, submitting it as a comment, or emailing me. Who knows--the story may percolate up to a site like Drudge, which reports over 7.8 billion (with a "B") visits in the past year.

Re: Point 8
Surely not! you are anti AGM and you don't worship His Holiness Algore so you MUST be a paid shill for Big Oil.
PS keep punching: you're one of our heavyweights!
One of the things I like most about your style of posting is the multiple headlines in one thread, especially the ones where you juxtapose the topics.
So that's how you do it.
It kind of blows my mental image of you deeply contemplating a crystal ball, reading tea leaves, fresh goat entrails, and such.
Rock on Mister Wizard.
Hi Tom
Interested in your subscriptions but when I access the link to dropbox it returns a header only no detail.
Is there another way?
regards
Wayne
