DeSmogosphere (plural desmogospheres) noun

Definition: a collection of blogs dedicated to helping reduce carbon emissions and/or report on the activities of the global warming denial industry.

Based on reader feedback, we have decided to add an up-to-date section in the bottom right corner of DeSmogBlog called "In the DeSmogosphere." It will contain hot posts from other bloggers listed in our "Links, Bloggers and DeSmoggers."
