RealClimate is a commentary site on climate science by working climate scientists for the interested public and journalists and has been operating since Dec 2004. We aim to provide the context sometimes missing in mainstream commentary on climate science. The discussion here is mostly restricted to scientific topics though we maintain open threads for the political or economic implications of the science and for discussions of possible solutions. All posts are signed by the author(s), except ‘group’ posts which are collective efforts from the whole team. Please note this is a moderated forum.
RealClimate est un site de discussion sur les sciences du climat pour le public et les journalistes depuis decembre 2004, site animé par des scientifiques actifs dans ce domaine. Notre objectif est de fournir le contexte scientifique souvent absent dans les médias. Les discussions sur ce site sont pour la plupart limitées aux sujets scientifiques, et n’aborderont pas les implications politiques ou économiques de la science. Toutes les discussions sont signeés, sauf les discussions signeés par ‘group’ qui sont un effort collectif.

The contributors are solely responsible for the content of the site and receive no remuneration for their contributions.
RealClimate is not affiliated with any environmental organisations. Although our domain was originally hosted by Science Communications Network (and previously Environmental Media Services), and our initial press release was organised for us by Fenton Communications, none of these organizations were in any way involved in the initial planning for RealClimate, and never had any editorial or other control over content. Neither Fenton nor SCN nor EMS ever paid any contributor to RealClimate.org any money for any purpose at any time. Neither did they pay us expenses, buy our lunch or contract us to do research. This information has always been made clear to anyone who asked.

RealClimate est associé à aucune organisation environnementale. Nous souhaitons préciser que bien que notre domaine était hébergé par “Science Communication Network” (et avant “Environmental Media Services”), et le communiqué de presse initial a été organisé par “Fenton Communications”, aucune de ces organisations n’était de quelque façon impliquée dans la planification initiale du site RealClimate, et n’a jamais eu quelque contrôle éditorial ou tout autre. Ni Fenton, ni SCN, ni EMS n’ont jamais payé aux auteurs de RealClimate.org quoique ce soit. Ni l’un ni l’autre ne nous ont rémunérés ou financent notre recherche. Tous ces faits toujours ont été clairement communiqué à quiconque le demandait.
