Celsias climate change website ranked third in world

Wellington-based Celsias (www.celsias.com) is now ranked third among dozens of climate change websites worldwide, according to “Authority” ranking data on Technorati.com, a leading website ranking company.

According to the Technorati website:

“Authority is the number of blogs linking to a website in the last six months, and the higher the number, the more Authority the blog has.”

Technorati has assigned Celsias an overall Authority ranking of 5,389 from over 55 million websites it monitors.

Visitors from over 120 countries come to Celsias to read climate change articles written by more than thirty writers from New Zealand, Australia, US, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, India and China.

Nick Lewis, Celsias’ CEO, says, “We are now receiving between five and ten requests per day to write for Celsias, so we appear to have become one of the leading ‘go to’ sites on climate change.”

Celsias has three series of articles underway or about to start:
Ride to Sustain - Colin Davis is riding his bicycle from San Francisco to Boston interviewing climate change leaders and filing posts with Celsias as he goes. He is currently crossing Iowa, about halfway into his adventure.
Planet Friendly Home (planned) – A writer and her husband are planning to re-do their home in a planet-friendly way, and will keep a diary on Celsias.
Letters from Antarctica (planned) – A writer has been assigned to Antarctica for six months where she will interview scientists who are measuring the effects of climate change on ice, local fauna, snow temperatures, and so on.
Celsias has just released its beta version where it is compiling one of the world’s first registers of projects that combat global warming.
“Our website is about ordinary people doing extraordinary things in their own quiet way,” says Lewis. “Through the power of the Internet we can multiply their impact to show what a community of millions can do to address a global issue like climate change. It’s all about individuals each making a difference.”

Project leaders will also be able to raise the visibility of their projects, recruit volunteers, attract resources and solicit funding.
