Happy New Year

Thanks for being a reader, and thanks to many of you for making this site a lively exchange of interesting perspectives, particularly on climate change related issues. Early next week, I'll have a post up elaborating on a few new wrinkles to the blog. Meanwhile, I'd like to hear from you on something. What particular story and/or topic would you like to see given more attention in 2012? (Bear in mind there are editors and reporters who read this blog.) But be as specific as possible. No doubt, a number of you will throw climate change in the mix, which is fine. Just spell out what you would like to see covered differently or in more detail. But I'm especially keen to hear of any science/environmental stories that you believe are underreported in the media. Lastly, Ed Yong has compiled his top 12 list of "longreads" for 2011. I recommend you check it out. He has great taste and judgment. Best wishes to you and your families for the New Year.
