The Washington, DC-based think tank, Resources For the Future (RFF) has re-launched its Weathervane website, which has been a source of climate information and data for more than ten years, as an interactive blog. The restructured site will draw on the expertise and perspective of researchers at RFF as well as input from other climate authorities. The site also includes links to a library of RFF climate and energy publications.

Weathervane is widely used by journalists and policymakers for providing nonpartisan, rigorous, and straightforward analysis of key climate issues. The site will continue to provide insights on a broad gamut of topical issues, including: cap-and-trade proposals; carbon capture and sequestration; deforestation; greenhouse gas emissions; cafe standards; adaptation to global climate change; energy and environmental regulation; carbon tax proposals; international climate treaties; technology policy; and legislative analysis.
