What’s down with that?

There’s no going back now. Even if you stopped blogging today, your blog hits will continue to increase for the next 1,000 years.
Keep up the good work.

As the GW’s come out of the closet, the sights that are fair and open minded are few.
Thank You Anthony!

Congratulations! Until Hansen & his gang have their way, this site and others that discuss the lack of science in AGW will thrive.
You have an excellent, thoughtful and interesting style. I am glad to have found it.
AEGeneral – Funny stuff. Probably true though.
It’s not stopping any time soon. I’m good for 30k or so myself– just kidding. Congratulations again and one for next month too.

No!!! Thank YOU! We all know how challenging this enterprise has been. I am especially impressed with the way you treat the proponents as well as the contrarians here. Those who challenge either position are treated with the respect that humans are entitled to. This site is an example to all who would foster a real debate on the issues that are so crucial to humanity in the next few years and decades. Thanks again, and may we, the commenters and contributors be mindful of our responsibility to remain courteous to those who do disagree with us.

This site is perfect for those who are wondering why they are getting frozen while Global Warming is kicked in their face.
The Internet generation will find you.
You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Roger: perhaps it has something to do with February 2009 having only an hour or two in it so far. Just guessing.
Congratulations!
Good numbers after all your hard work. Might not see ’em for awhile; there are only 28 days in February. But it’s a good start on payback. All those quality articles aimed more toward a lay audience got you a slowly growing readershop which, in turn, got you all those weblog nominations. And that week of voting got you huge exposure to new readers. I’m sure that many will stick around after experiencing a blog site where differing points of view are accepted on the condition of adhering to certain standards of civility.

Sorry, some broken links there- retrying the first two.
Again, Congrats!
Weird censorship over at Climate Audit, though. http://i43.tinypic.com/2wfu1oz.jpg

Same would happen here. There is no censorship on Steve’s part. He probably hasn’t found them in the que yet, but you might want to clean up the language a bit.- Anthony
Anthony, you’ve clearly reached a tipping point. I’ve done a 6th order polynomial on the growth rate and projected it 500 years into the future. If things continue to increase at this rate, my scenario B indicates virtually all known carbon resources will be employed to support this increase in page views.
A better use of the energy I can’t think of at the moment, so I just thought I’d warn everyone about the consequences in advance…
I sure appreciate having this resource and am amazed at the depth and quality of the discussions here… Thanks again, Mike S.

Yay!
Way to go!
FWIW, news reports a volcano near Anchorage has a large hole opening in the side and is ‘getting ready to blow’.
Also KY has called out the National Guard to deal with the ice storm. Sure am glad we had global warming… think how bad it would have been without it!

Finally………
You have achieved the Hockey Stick graph !!!!!
That graph of hits is beginning to resemble a……hockey stick…
Only this one is supported with real data…
Congratulations, Anthony!
I have learned more at WUWT in a few weeks than I did in a couple of years on other sites. This is the way the internet ought to be!
I am speaking to chemical engineers in October in Long Beach, California, and some of my material will be taken or derived from what I learned here, both pro and con on AGW. Thank you to all who participate and share your knowledge and opinions.
Of course, by October we will have additional hard data to share and discuss, including Arctic ice maximum extent in March, and minimum extent in September, possibly a volcanic eruption in Alaska and elsewhere, sunspots still missing or perhaps appearing, hard data on temperatures around the world by which to determine the severity of this NH winter 2008-2009, the SH summer, and the NH summer, perhaps an El Nino or La Nina, sea levels slowing their rise or decreasing, and who knows what else! Probably the only thing we can predict with certainty is that the CO2 in the atmosphere will continue to rise.

Not surprised. Links to WUWT have been popping up all over the place. Probably a few Instalanches here and there?
Now, if page hits were dollars (or even cents!)…

Once the agw dies down of course interest will decline on all climate sites. Freezing cold in NH = 0, boiling hot in Australia = 0 its all normal weather/climate nothing unusual. If we all lived 1000’s of years we could make possibly a comment on a “climatic change”. Ask any meteorologist.
Steep rise recently! Getting logarithmic!
Anthony, as numbers go up, you might want to think again about making introductions to skeptical Climate Science more visibly accessible from your website. I don’t want to blow my own trumpet over this, but I also feel, if my work can help, I’d like it to be accessible. It is also open to correction by readers. Seems likely that Ric Werme, James Peden, Ken Gregory, and others who’ve written good introductions may feel similarly.
Jon, suggestions on how to avoid derailing the topic, like it seems you were doing at Steve’s, consciously or no. I got snipped too; your posts are not all gone; so
(1) let it go,
(2) keep to the the subject of the thread,
(3) look for solutions not gripes
(4) try to be courteous to the poobahs all round and be willing to apologize, this makes it a lot easier to follow the thread, stand your ground on essential issues, enjoy yourself, engage with the team, and not lose your own integrity in the process.
We can all fail on this last one but we can apologize as well as refrain from unnecessary attack, and that always helps a lot IMHO. I’m sure you’ve got useful contributions to make. I think that several at CA were trying to help you. Just my thoughts, though I might be wrong.

Any idea why comments are being censored again at CA?
