Kevrin Vranes, from NoSeNada and Prometheus blogs, was quoted in the NY Times today. Over at Prometheus, Kevin confirms a rumor about his political ambitions, previously posted here, writing that he is "angling for a position in the Gore White House."

RealClimate blogger Gavin Schmidt from NASA/GISS/Columbia, Brenda Ekwurzel from the Union of Concerned Scientists, and Richard Somerville from Scripps, will debate Michael Crichton, Richard Lindzin from MIT, and retired professor Philip Stott on - what else? - climate change on Wedesday, March 13. The host will be Brian Lehrer from WNYC New York Public Radio. See IQ2US for more info and listen to the debate online at the WNYC website.

More on the Carl Wunsch-Channel 4 saga and potential lawsuit at Chris Mooney's blog, The Intersection. Select quote from today's post: "I haven't seen the film, but I do know this: It's a typical creationist tactic to find a mainstream scientist, cherry pick something he's written that discusses various technical complexities, or something that he's said on that front, and so paint the scientist as a "skeptic" of evolution. It sounds as though precisely this was done to Wunsch on climate change with the latest documentary."
