What's Wrong with Big Environment Interests

UNEP has announced a new climate change news tracking site called ClimateWire.org, which they describe as "the world's first daily updated, multi-sectoral and international news service specifically focussing on the issue of climate change." Wow - it is almost as if ClimateArk's six years of providing news tracking services - and its tens of millions of users - do not exist. Why would UNEP feel the need to duplicate services that other conservation interests have been providing on the web for many, many years? And at great personal expense and effort. Another example of big conservation interests spending lots of money putting small grassroots conservation operators, who are more capable and cost effective, at a disadvantage. This said - our site is way better than theirs, and will remain that way.

Comments

Dear Glen Barry,

I am regularly visiting your excellent site and I have to say:

UNEP's site isn't even in the same league and surely no competition. They don't do more than news.google does when I search for sth. like "kyoto climate".

So keep up the good work :)
