In 2006 I moved to Qatar and things are not what many people in North America would expect - it is not like how the Middle East is portrayed in the media. I'm also a fan of skepticism and science so wondered how this works here in Qatar. Since I'm here for a while I figured I'd use the time to get to know this country better and with this blog you can learn along with me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So what posts have been popular recently . . .

UN Climate Change Conference
The UN Climate Change Conference, known as COP18, has started in Doha. I don't know a lot about it, all I know is that about 20,000 delegates will be attending. How do I know that? Because for the last couple of weeks everyone's been panicking about the massive traffic disruptions this might cause. Warnings have been going out that everyone should leave for work extra early, some companies are enacting work-from-home plans, and some schools closed today.
Now given that it is a climate change conference most of the participants will be using buses but even then there are over 400 buses being used to shuttle everyone around. Good thing they're not driving rental cars or using taxis.
Let's see tomorrow morning how my commute goes. I'll report from the office once I arrive.
