Maybe it was done in response to Blog Action Day, maybe it wasn't, but the New York Times just launched Dot Earth, a blog dedicated to examining the growing human impact on the planet’s health.

According the the press release:

Written by Andrew C. Revkin, a science reporter for The New York Times, and with contributions from correspondents around the world, Dot Earth is a new online community where people can discover and discuss ways people are, and are not, shaping human affairs to limit environmental damage.

Dot Earth will explore relevant scientific, social, political and economic issues. Mr. Revkin will elaborate on his reports in the newspaper and post his exchanges with experts. Readers will eventually be invited to post photos, videos and join in the discussion.

I've already added Dot Earth to my list of RSS feeds and would highly recommend you do too.
