The Global Warming Index (GWIX) went up to 7.34 when I gathered the data this morning. Indexed by Google news were 27,816 stories that mentioned global warming and 3,790 stories that mentioned global cooling. When I last checked on November 17, the index stood at 6.74. This indicates that global warming is being mentioned somewhat more often in news stories now than in November.
The total amount of mentions today—we'll call this the Composite Climate Story Index (CCSI)—stands at 31,606. I'm going to keep track of this data as well. As the press loses interest in climate change, I predict that this will go down significantly. I'm trying to find a way to develop an "Al Gore" filter, so I can take all Al Gore references out of the raw data. This would make the index a much better indicator of reality. No offense intended, Al.
