A site I haven't listed yet, but should, is Skepticalscience. They've now made a iPhone app from their web site materials. App is at:
http://itunes.com/apps/skepticalscience
Their introduction of the app is here:
http://www.skepticalscience.com/skeptical-science-iphone-app.html
Main page is, naturally http://www.skepticalscience.com
If anyone is an iPhone user and gets the app, let us know what you think. I have heard good things already, but I don't think from the local readers.
This reminds me of a couple things ...
What are good climate science blogs that I haven't got listed already?
What are good climate science web sites that I haven't already listed? (I expect a much longer list here.)
Please note: They should be about the science, places where you might see an informed discussion of, say, why the author thinks we don't or shouldn't expect more severe snow storms along with climate change (as happened with Only in it for the Gold). Michael and I disagree, but it's an informed disagreement. Places that agree with me are also fair game.

Thoughts and notes on science from another blogging Grumbine.
Welcome
I'll be trying what seems to be an unusual approach in blogs -- writing to be inclusive of students in middle school and jr. high*, as well as teachers and parents (whether for their own information or to help their children). To that end, comments will have to pass a stricter standard than I'd apply for an all-comers site. It shouldn't be onerous, just keep to the topic and use clean language.
I expect it to be fun for all, however, as you really can get quite far in understanding the world, even climate, by understanding this sort of fundamental. If I get too much less fundamental, let me know where I went astray.
* Ok, I concede that not many middle school students will get everything. Even a fair number of adults will find some parts hard to follow. Still, some middle school kids will have fun. And almost everyone will follow a number of posts just fine.
Please see the comment policy for details. And the link policy for details about that. The latter is more open than you might expect.

About Me
- Robert Grumbine
- In my day job I work on the oceanography, meteorology, climatology, glaciology end of my science interests, but I'm interested in everything, science or not. So I've also been on stage in a production of Comedy of Errors, run an ultramarathon, and been to Epidaurus, Greece, to see a production of Euripides' Iphigenia among the Taurians Prior to starting the current job, I was a post-doc in oceanography in the UCAR ocean modelling program, and earned my doctorate from the Department of the Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago (1989). My undergraduate degree involved Applied Math, Engineering, Astrophysics, and Glaciology. Of course I don't speak for my employer, whoever that may be.

Certainly, SkepticalScience.
My tastes have become dependent ones. I use your present blog- roll to find who has recently posted...since I last checked. They lead me to DeepClimate and DeSmogBlog.
ClimateProgress is a special case. I go there first, anyway, for the political (etc.) stuff not available elsewhere...and sometimes get beyond the headlines.
I can imagine that there will be many users who will skip over the site because of its depressing news from Washington; to escape into issues, and the silliness of the skeptics. But this is no more of a hurdle than the non-climate blogs in the blogroll...or RealClimate.
Looks like CCE moved his site, which is one of my favorite places to direct people who want a primer on the evidence for global warming.

Not a blog with regular new posts on whatever the latest nonsense making the rounds is, but instead basically an online book you can read straight through in a day and have a pretty good understanding of the issue, the evidence, and what's wrong with the most common denier claims.
It's awesome, Robert. The Web site in your hand at the ready for battle with virulent sceptics. Marc Morano en garde!
Oh and nice CO2 temp correlation post. Top flight.
