New Topics or Questions from Readers
Pages on this blog are on tabs above on top. I’ve started a new one called “New Topics or Questions from Readers” for ideas that we can post about. A couple of these had turned up in the comments policy section, so this fits better and hopefully encourages more people to submit ideas for posts or questions.

Science Policy Quote of the Month
"In the real world, many risks we face present neither the great certainties we would need to use cost-benefit analysis effectively nor the almost complete uncertainties that would justify radical precautionary approaches. Moreover, neither the precautionary principle nor cost-benefit analysis tell us anything about the role of democracy in making policy decisions.
I am currently working to develop new approaches rooted in deliberative democracy which might move beyond both strict cost-benefit and knee-jerk precaution toward processes that could achieve better public participation and greater political legitimacy on the major environmental threats to our future."
Jonathan Gilligan, Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences on his website here.

OK, when Sharon is on a blog break, how do other members of this blog post new topics? I’d like to see some discussion on this piece from the Redding newspaper regarding let it burn fires: http://www.redding.com/news/2012/aug/16/fire-expert-blasts-lassen-officials-letting-blaze/
sorry, Bob, usually I am on off and on and post things I get in my terraveritas@gmail.com inbox. That probably isn’t the best way, but it has worked unless I am somewhere with no email for days…
You can always send it to me, Bob, too. I could also maybe supply a picture that fits the article.
Thanks, Larry: I just learned that option. I’m guessing a future photo inventory on this event would be instructive.
