Quick Links: Drugs, Blogs and Warming

How warm will warming be? David Roffey at Webdiary offers a summary of the key points of Mark Lynas’ “Six Degrees: our future on a hotter planet“. It’s scary stuff, and worth reading if you ever need material to counter the “what harm could a few degrees be?” sentiment in responce to global warming.

Woolly Days: The World View from Wooloowin is not a blog I’ve encountered before in the Australian blogosphere, but it’s far from new. Established in 2005, Woolly Days offers detailed resource posts on current issues. Check out this one entitled “Indigenous groups suspicious of Howard’s emergency response“.

This month may have seen the apparant end of Melbourne Indymedia, but I’ve just stumbled across a new Australian attempt. Coffs Coast IMC is not yet affiliated with the global indymedia collective, but they’re happily making use of Indymedia’s name and logos. The local medieval society seems to be better represented in the content than any local activist attempt, but they at least have some cool photos.

Another interesting website from that neck of the woods is the “Coffs Harbour Drug Users Liberation Network“. They’re not liberating themselves from drugs, they’re fighting for their right to consume the drugs of their choice, by highlighting the fact that Alcohol and Tobacco are way more harmful than eccies and dope!

Kieran,

Thanks for the link to Woolly Days, that makes at least two bloggers in Wooloowin.

The Coffs Harbour group might be interested in two recent Language Log posts, this on how even mention of their utensils in semantically meaningless ways make USA courts rabid, and this shows how "bongs" can save lives of mountain climbers, or “ban bongs” can be a racist statement.
