Guest Post by Steven Goddard, wattsupwiththat.com

Over the last year or so I have been taking an informal survey of a key news metric - Google news searches
for the term "global warming."  A year ago, the ratio of
alarmist/skeptical articles was close to 100/1.  About six months ago,
the ratio was 90/10, Two months ago it was 80/20, and today it hit
50/50 for the first time - including the lead skeptical story "A Cooling Trend Toward Global Warming".
 One thing that has changed is the rise of blogs written by informed
citizens, complemented by the demise of corporate newspapers which make
money from keeping people continually alarmed about one thing or
another.

Congratulations to Anthony and all the readers for being a big part of
this.  Democracy in it's purest form - hope and change we can all
believe in.
The top two items from Google news "global warming" search today.  The
distribution of all stories through the first few search pages was
similar in makeup as seen below:
