GWIX: The Hot New Climate Index

After consulting with our research department, I've fine tuned my GWIX: Global Warming Insanity indeX. From this point forward, I will use the google news search as the basis for the index, rather than the generic google search. Also, I have created a ratio between global warming and global cooling stories and this number, rounded to two decimal places, will be the actual "index." If the GWIX goes down, it would indicate that the disparity between warming and cooling stories is decreasing.

On Nov. 11, 2008 the index and raw data were:

GWIX: 6.74

Global warming stories: 24,955

Global cooling stories: 3,705
