About the Globalchange list:
=======================
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
=======================
Globalchange is a moderated newsgroup/mailing list for the discussion
of environmental science, economics, policy and politics, especially
as related to global change issues such as climate change,
biodiversity, and sustainability. Discussion is **not** restricted to
purely scientific/technical questions on the physics of climate
change.
=======================
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
=======================
I. WEB INTERFACE
Probably the easiest way to participate initially is to point your browser
to
<http://groups.google.com/group/globalchange/
>
and you can read the messages immediately.
You may send submissions through the web interface, or by email to
mailto:
globalchange <at> googlegroups.com
Using the interface in this way does not require you to get a Google login.
II. RSS FEED
It is possible to subscribe to the newsgroup as an RSS feed. See
<
http://groups.google.com/group/globalchange/feeds>
for more information
III. NNTP FEED
An nntp feed is available at
news://nntp:gmane.science.general.global -change
This group is carried by the free news-server
news.gmane.org.
IV. MAILING LIST
You can subscribe to globalchange as a mailing list, but you have to
use the web to sign up (or ask a moderator to add you). Go to
<http://groups.google.com/group/globalchange/>
and click "join this group" and follow instructions (you will need to
set up a free google account).
If you subscribe to the email, you need not ever use the web interface
or your google account again. You may send submissions by email to
globalchange <at> googlegroups.com
=======================
MODERATION
=======================
It is difficult to specify what "fair" or "unfair" moderation means
without getting tediously legalistic. To avoid endless haggling about
this, we formulate our policy thus:
Posts will be admitted to the list if and only if ANY moderator finds
the submission to be constructive and/or interesting, on topic, and
not gratuitously rude.
We are not unanimous in our opinions, and are open to submissions from
people outside the spectrum of opinion represented by the moderators.
We will endeavor to remove obvious provocations ("trolls"). We also
discourage postings that are redundant, in the sense that the poster
has already made their points and does not seem to take account of the
responses but is merely insistently reasserting points previously
made.
Google's moderation system is rather basic, and mistakes can easily be
made (and have been). If your message has not propagated after 3 days,
and you are confident that it should have passed moderation, please
resubmit it. (We also have been known to allow spam through by
mistake. Sorry about that, please just ignore it.)
"Membership" is encouraged, as it permits participants to be
whitelisted, reducing propagation delays, errors, and the workload of
the moderators. Non-members are welcome to post but all their messages
will necessarily enter the moderation queue.
PLEASE PARTICIPATE!
