Romm must be fuming. After disappearing his formerly independent “Climate Progress” blog and merging it with the main Think Progress website, where he’s lucky to get a dozen comments a day. His parent organization, Think Progress, utterly fails to mention The Most Important Issue of All Time as a top issue for 2013. Oooh, that’s gotta hurt.
This morning, 31 December 2012, Think Progress provided 12 Progressive Resolutions for 2013. From better drug policy to immigration reform to enacting gun safety laws, many interesting (if not outright good) items in this list. Again, however, the telling thing is the absence of a critical set of issues.
Amid these 12, no (zero, nada, nilch) reference to climate change, the climate cliff, environment, clean energy, green jobs, energy efficiency, fossil fuel impacts on the political system, …

It is just one more indication that even the people pushing the issue don’t really much believe in it anymore, especially when we’ve had over a decade of no warming.

In related news, Bill McKibben has apparently gone insane with this latest statement:
‘Fossil-Fuel Companies Have Become Outlaws Against The Laws Of Physics’
Happy New Year!
My computer model shows that increasing CO2 causes another Happy New Year. If trends continue, we’ll see this again next year!!! :-))
Happy New Year, Anthony, to you and yours. And to the moderators and all the scientists and non-scientists whose honest contributions make this not just one of the must-read science blogs but one of the must-read BLOGS on the Internet.
Anthony, you have a massive following, as I am sure you know, in the UK. Just keep telling the truth, my friend, as you have done for so many years. The rest will follow.
God bless.
I read Climate Progress daily and I’m sure Joe is rip-$hit about this snub. It seemed as if he was really pushing hard all through the national elections with more than the usual amount of articles daily, so maybe they decided that it just isn’t working, who knows. Most of those that comment on their strictly modded articles are quite loony, IMO.
Btw, Joe Nova had a somewhat slightly related article recently titled “Sceptics Weather the Storm”.

Well worth a read.

Happy New year Anthony, moderator’s and contributors. it is enjoyable being a reader and very occasional commenter. Winning …
Romms day is done, thats why he was trying to scare up some traffic a few days ago.
No traffic on his mutual admiration blog means no funding real soon.
So long Joe, don’t let the door hit you in the back of your oversized ego .
There’s a 2013 prediction for you. Along with the other useful ideologues being throw to the wolves as reality tightens in on the CAGW scam.
Happy New Year Everyone!!
So, now they’re starting to push nuclear. Well, if all you nuclear phobics hadn’t blocked nuclear power growth last century the US might be producing most of its power CO2 emission free right now. How does it feel to have doomed the planet with your shortsighted handwringing? Just kidding. The good news is the planet isn’t doomed, but perhaps y’all could learn a lesson from this. Leave the big decisions to people who aren’t prone to panic. Just think if y’all would have left it up to us skeptics back in the 60’s and 70’s we’d be predominantly nuclear right now.
Objectively speaking, I Wonder what the hit count stats are down at………..better email stats man Mike.
the residents of my little town sure as hell released some CO2 last night……from their beer!
Happy New Year Anthony to you and your moderators and keep up the excellent work.
Happy New Year to all.

Yes, in 2012 we survived the demise of the Mayan calendar, maybe in 2013 we might with a little lucky get to survive the demise of human caused global warming, all though given the present education level of the populace and media I do not think we will not be so lucky. Anthony and the rest of the contributors to WUWT, please keep up the good work and have a happy and prosperous new year and as an old Trekkie, I hope all of you live long and prosper. That is also true for the readers and commentators of the blog pro and con. Lastly I hope all of you have a good and prosperous new year and reflect for a moment on those who are still with us and remember those that have left us this year. Please remember life is what it is and it is all we have, with that in mind please remember it is up to us to make the most of it. Happy New Year!
I hope the warmists don’t just quietly fold their tents and steal away in the night. Is there no place for admission of their fabrication/self-delusion? If there’s no bang, then their whimpers should at least be recorded so that all their misuse of science is not repeated. This site is doing its part. When will the futility of hyping global warming over the past few decades become commonly recognized and commented on in the dinosaur media?
Happy New Year and thank you from the bottom of this reader’s heart. So good to have a sane, logical place to go.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
To All.
So “Think Progress” has downgraded Romm’s “Climate Progress”?
Sounds like progress to me!
HNY all, from soggy, cold Texas this year!
Money talks, bullshit walks (into obscurity).
Lol, this is too funny Anthony, possibly the best thing you could ask for, better than any data you could throw at them, their own admission that AGW is not a big issue, lol, priceless!!
Also, Happy New Year Anthony to you, all the people who help to run this site, and all of the bloggers!!
Happy New Year to you Anthony and yours. Thanks for all you and your cadre do for the cause of sanity in the war against those who want to control virtually everything in our life.
I am so glad that I found your site.
I know it is Think Progresses phrasing not Anthony’s, but I have to say that restrictions on gun ownership and sales of ammunition which is what is actually described in the text of their article is not equal to gun safety.
That bit of CAGW preaching by McKibben on the WSJ letters page is nicely countered on the same page by two concise and logical letters from Richard J. McDonald, Ph.D. and Paul Quigg.

And the good thing is McKibben connects directly to the very mathematically practical article by Robert Bryce. It would be difficult to read that and not see the problems with the planned “solutions”. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324640104578161593492943144.html
Learned a whole new phrase over there: “unchecked climate disruption” I thought that was what you got at the finale of NASCAR-Daytona fireworks! Saw that in July; a real show!
Happy New Year, y’all! Yep, East Texas cold & rainy tonight! Love it!
Happy New Year Anthony with many thanks.
Wifey & I will probably open a bottel of bubbly in a couple of hours just to add a little more CO2 to the atmoshphere. Whether or not the CO2 will warm the room is questionable, but the “spirits” will certainly warm one’s spirits. Lechyd da!
With hopes for better political leadership next year,
