Anthony:
Thank you for what you and the moderators do.
This blog is a free for all wealth of information.
Congrats on 36M. Maybe 50M in 2013?
Here’s to many more years!
(This is coming up Norway because that’s where I am. :))
I echo Camburn’s thanks – and add my appreciation.
This is what I though open science was meant to be.
Smiles, etc. for the New Year!

My admiration of your industry, integrity and faithful service is great. You entirely deserve to be followed.
What’s up with those people in Chad, South Sudan, and Turkmenistan?
It makes me feel proud to be even part of a number, I used to think I was just an imaginary number.
Congats Anthony! As an occasional poster, much respect to the top posters as well…
I have a craft beer blog that I wished grabbed 0.1% of that total in views… 😉 Just to see if I can get a bump I included it as my name link…hope you don’t mind ;0)
Happy New Years guys…(i just added to your stats.. 🙂 )
Congratulations and thanks to you and “The Mod Squad”.
I don’t remember what led me to this site but I’m sure it was either SEPP or Junkscience.
The last time I spent time commenting anywhere was on the old AOL’s “Pet Care Forums” under the topic of “Animal Rights/Animal Welfare”. That was back in …., well, I don’t remember but most people didn’t have a cable modem.
WUWT is one of the World’s fortresses against the tide of misinformation and is making inroads into that tide. Congratulations on the best year’s work ever and strength to your arm.
Congratulations Anthony,
This blog has made a huge impact! The world would be the lesser without it.
You and your team have coordinated a great thing here.
Wishing all of you a happy, healthy and productive new year.
Those folks in Spitsbergen are just a bunch of chatter boxes, aren’t they?
Expect some modified stats from Schh you know who showing they got 42K. Due solely to the increased CO2 they inject into their offices.
Happy New Year all! 🙂
Continuing thanks for your hard work.

Well done Anthony!
Keep it up, and may you and all your colleagues have a Happy New year, you deserve it.
Anthony, I do not comment as a matter of course, but this is truly an extraordinary accomplishment and one of the few sites that I read religiously, if I may be permitted a secular irreverence to the true believers of all the alarmist clap-trap. My great thanks!

If the IPCC and warmists get their way – you WILL be just a number! – and an over-taxpaying number at that!
well done Anthony et al – and I wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year (something I’m sure we could all do with, unless you are funded by ‘Big Green’, LOL)
Wow, …that’s amazing and not totally surprising. Where else is there to go for clear climate information when the TEAM has the MSM media swallowing everything they can produce with nary a critical eye. By the way, do those statistics reveal for you the number of individual visitors who visit your site? I mean individuals such as myself. Can you tell that?
These statistics also reveal that it pays to post links to this site on Facebook.
Best wishes from Norway!
I think WordPress should display their geographical distribution map as a per capita statistic – this would better represent the level of interest. There are many folks I know in Australia that visit WUWT regularly. I often recommend it to those who express interest in the topic and am sure it has expanded many minds.
WUWT-TV was one of the highlights of the year for me and I hope that it can happen again. I salute your energy and commitment Anthony and friends!
I hope you are able to translate these figures into some dollars Anthony. You deserve recompense for the time you spend informing us all.
Congratulations and keep up the excellent work Anthony
