What it does
When you play a card here: +1 Power to this card.
When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.
The site, in 2007
A climate science blog and reference site that tests the common arguments against the scientific consensus on climate change.
John Cook, an Australian former cartoonist and web developer, created it in 2007. Its database weighs each argument on its merits, alongside posts on current climate news and policy.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
