- Steve Easterbrook's excellent climate blog: See his "The Internet: Saving Civilization or Trashing the Planet?" for example Heavy on data and computation, Easterbrook is a CS prof at UToronto, but is clearly familiar with climate science. I like his “The Internet: Saving Civilization or Trashing the Planet” very much.

Complexity vs Simplicity in Geophysics
Really interesting mechanistic reductionism illustrating what it means to explain phenomena scientifically. It’s all about the maths.
