Comments on: VOTING OPEN: WUWT Nominated for Best Science Blog http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/01/05/wuwt-nominated-for-best-science-blog/ The world's most viewed site on global warming and climate change Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:52:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Adam Soereg http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/01/05/wuwt-nominated-for-best-science-blog/#comment-71155 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:38:52 +0000 http://wattsupwiththat.com/?p=4800#comment-71155 Current standing:

RC: 686 votes
WUWT: 5730 votes, or 8.3134 times more.

Remember – there’s really no dispute over the evidence that catastrophic anthropogenic climate change (or global waming) is underway. All the models predict it, the science is settled, the consensus amongst the scientific community is broad and unshakable.

….or could be the other way around?

Fantastic! I am the proud owner of 200K carbon offsets, which offsets (excuses) 200K metric tons of carbon I produce. Gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Certificate is suitable for framing, too. Get them while they last.

While doing part time forestry work a few years ago I planted around 100,000 carbon offsets. Now I feel fully justified when I fill the V8 with petrol and go for a blast for fun.

I used to visit Pharyngula often, but found that there is a scathing lack of respect from PZ Myers for the positions of those who would differ from him- he is right, end of story. (i.e. he dismissed Climate Audit as pseudo-science, or anti-science, or some such). I am disappointed that his site is doing so well in the race – he gets a lot of traffic, but clearly mostly from those who agree with his view of reality (conventional medicine, conventional climate science).

As our competition (my view solely based on the poll as there seems to be little science there and much belittling) is a sub-domain I cannot do a direct comparison – the top level domain scienceblogs.com is what is being compared there and I can smell fish. Lots.

Yes, RC does pull in the educated incapacity crowd, doesn’t it?

Hear them flail and roar and howl! Howl! Children of the night. What a beautiful music they make!

There is a boarding-house four miles away.
Where they serve rotten eggs four times a day.
Oh, how those boarders yell
When they hear that dinner bell
Four times a day!

Best of luck. Some of the mean-spiritedness elsewhere is disappointing, but at least we can be cheerful. Cheers, Steve

REPLY: Thank you Steve. Being of good cheer is the best motivation for success and happiness. I wish you well. – Anthony
