Pharyngula: 32.5%
Watt's up with that: 37.6%
Climate Audit: 10.9%

Two sites that analyze climate data get half the votes, predictable somewhat. I'm curious about one thing, maybe people here can clue me in.

Pharyngula, on browsing the website, doesn't seem to have much science, but a lot of ranting, political and anti-religion. Nothing wrong there, but if there was science, I didn't find it.

Is Pharyngula a good reference science blog? If so for what sorts of discussion or information?
