Well done Anthony.

While I disagree (with good reason) with much of what is said on your blog site, I recognize that WUWT is a place to get an alternative view to what the preponderance of research is saying about the phrase “climate change’ (popularised Frank Lundz).

I commend you for recognizing Jim Hansen; unfortunately this won’t go down well with many contributors here.

OT maybe, but let us (humanity) hope that Obama and his team take a more proactive approach to the real global issues of climate change.

it goes right through TENDS to go right through, I should have said!

Congrats Anthony albeit late!

May your work be an inspiration to spawn more real science blogs next year, as Steve Mac’s was to you this year. After having surveyed all the runners-up, I’m awfully aware we need more real science!

An anti-science wackaloon Sman, if you are a scientist yourself I would expect you to start from the material to hand, to comment on the evidence. To me, your own words do not sound like a scientist’s observations. My observations show me that the scientific attitude is like Brighton rock: it goes right through the whole personality, wherever you cut it.

They confuse AGW skepticism with creationism and flat earthers. Little do they understand that the AGW true believers are the new deniers of climate realism. It’s highly ironic.

An anti-science wackaloon wins the award for “Best Science Blog”.
M
Sman, I don’t think that a blog where the blogger writes about himself driving a nail through the eucharistia and throwing it in the wastebin has anything to do with the science as well. Maybe next time it should be nominated under the Atheism heading, but hardly under science as such.

Congratulations Anthony and everyone here on the deserved award.
It can only be for the good of us all.

I can not agree with you regarding J Hansen though.
Surely that award is not for the good of science, or good science,
or how it will effect us all.
Which is the bigger picture surely.

Ooh the irony! An anti-science wackaloon wins the award for “Best Science Blog”.
Actually Smantroll, if you want anti-science wackaloons you want to be over at DeSmugblinkered or any number of other pseudoscientific climate alarmist sites seething with rage now because they’re losing, and they know it. More and more people are waking up to the fact that AGW/CC is nothing but a huge fraud. This site is a testament to that fact, as well as the fact that here, unlike the alarmist sites, honest, respectful debate is welcomed, which is how science advances. But, I guess you wouldn’t know, or even care anything about that.

I will tell you that I’m happy you won the science category. It’s nice to see someone I voted for actually win for a change! :)

Seconded. You received almost all my votes, though I must admit I voted for Mr McIntyre’s equally excellent site once I was sure that you were in an unbeatable position. A well-deserved win for an interesting, informative, instructive and above all civilized site. May it go from strength to strenth.

I’m sorry but James Hansen getting a Carl-Gustaf Rossby Research Medal from the American Meteorological Society is like Trofim Lysenko receiving the USSR’s highest honor for his research into genetics.

If I was a member of the AMS, I’d be thoroughly embarassed.

Yes Sman almost as ironic as non scientists coming to this blog and telling the readers, who in large numbers are real scientists, that Anthony is a an anti-science wackaloon.

I am embarassed for the AMS for their choice of the great fabricator of the GISS data. Even though he did bring huge quantities of grant money into the field, it is sad that they were willing to sell their integrity. I wonder though was the choice made by a handful of political types or the actual membership? For the kind of bucks that is being thrown at AGW I wonder how many organizations would have problems with preserving their scientific integrity. Hmm… I wonder if APS gives him an award maybe we could afford a new building or better yet we could cut the price of our journals to something a person can afford even if his school doesn’t pay the bill.

Soon we will have the rediculous fraud of cap and trade right here in the USA thanks to Mr. Waxman and his whole crew; despite a brutal current winter which follows last winter which was the coldest in a generation. I wonder how clueles can they be?

[REPLY - Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that both sides of the argument are freely allowed and (relatively speaking) respectfully debated. Just a thought. ~ Evan.]

Congratulations, of course!

And I have to say, I’m in agreement with Noblesse Oblige on the Hansen thing.
