I added http://www.monbiot.com/ to the links on the right hand side. Simply put, it is a great site and very informative. It is my favourite site because the articles are usually very interesting. What impresses me about his (George Monbiot) writings is both the diversity and scientific accuracy.
He has that rare ability to tear apart specious bullshit (and let's face it, there is a lot of it out there) and, at the risk of repeating myself, back up his arguments with solid facts. He somehow manages to contain his evident anger and channel it into something of value.
He has a number of books out there and I have read all of them, except the most recent one - Heat ... - which is lying on my bookshelf as I write.
Also his writing is often motivated by a genuine concern for humanity. I found some of his writings quite moving. His book "Captive State" should not be missed. Tony Blair - hang your pathetic head in shame. Residents of the Isle of Skye - hold your heads up high with pride.
