I highly recommend both blogs.

ClimateAudit.org to get a good idea about one aspect of the "resistance". It reveals numerous questionable tactics in gathering (and preserving, or even better NOT preserving) data upon which all of IPCC's conclusions are based. You will witness attempts through Freedom of Information Act to get the data, and how the IPCC folks reject the requests.

RealClimate.org is worth visiting regularly if for no other reason than to witness how smug and arrogant the AGW theorists are. My sense, compared to reading various other blogs, is that most posters are NOT scientists but rather eager kool-aid drinkers with Gavin Schmitt, et. al. more than willing to do the pouring. I have to say that I experienced a great feeling of Schadenfreud witnessing them licking their wounds after last nights debate and whining about how unfair the forum was to them and how they were the only people representing science and that is was necessarilly less glamorous.

I regularly visit several other blogs (mostly skeptics in nature):

Roger Pielske Sr's Climate Science Blog
Bruce Hall's Hall Of Record
A Better World: Graeme Bird for High Office

All of these blogs are great, and often they will cross-post. These are REAL climate scientists, some of which are the most prominent "resistance" scientists in their fields. I particularly like Roger Pielske Sr.'s blog for balance. Gavin Schmitt frequently drops in, makes criticisms, gets spanked, then departs. I have rarely seen Mr. Pielske NOT come out on top in dust-ups with Gavin. Mr. Pielske, BTW, does believe that man has had a significant impact on the climate, but not in the ways that the IPCC and Gavin, et. al. postulate. He believes that man-induced climate change is mostly regional and result from land-use changes. He also is a firm believer that the IPCC has made many mistakes and have not been very honest in their tunnel-vision that everything comes down to man's introduction of fossil-based CO2 emissions.

Bruce Hall is a regular poster on Pielske's blog, as is Graeme Bird. Graeme is a rather colorful character with VERY strong opinions. He seems a little "out-there" if you know what I mean, but his theories are interesting to read nonetheless.

As a geologist in the SW US, I concur with Pielske's belief. It's pretty obvious that the increase in black bodies (streets, buildings, etc.) and moisture (watered lawns, recreational lakes) in Phoenix has changed the microclimate in that area since I was a youngster living there in the '50s.
