Beyond the Hockey Stick– You’re almost going linear! Anthony, I so enjoy your site and the great information and analysis you share. Also, I appreciate the way you monitor the comments and keep it fairly civilized.
Anthony Watts, this is the best site on this issue that I have ever visited. Basically, it is because you follow the evidence, wherever it leads, instead of an agenda.

And thank you for the quality and civility; we all reap the rewards of the hard work you {and don’t let us forget jeez} have done here.
And if there are any other behind the scenes personages that pitch in from time to time of which we are unaware, congrats to them as well.

Your website is hotter than the Artic in July. No doubt you must be sniffing too much CO2.
I think it’s very obvious, based on this trend, and the well-understood principle of positive feedback, that within 20 years, all of the peering capacity of all the world’s ISPs will be taken up purely by people reading your blog.
Some people might be dubious and find fault in my reasoning, but I plan to deal with that by not disclosing how I arrived at my results and labelling them as “deniers”. The maths is settled. And even if there’s a chance I’m wrong – surely the precautionary principle requires that we take action now, just in case?
So please, try to write in a more bandwidth-efficient manner. For instance, if you were to stop writing with actual words, and instead use repeating groups of letters – AZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ AZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ AZZZZZZZZZZZZ etc – compression technology would allow you to keep blogging using only a tiny fraction of your current bandwidth. Sure, some people might complain that they can’t understand what you mean or that there’s no point trying to read a blog that consists only of compression-friendly repeated letter groups; but really it’s a small price to pay for a better world for our children.
Thanks. I know you’ll understand. REPLY: AZ !

I visit this site more than once a day. The scientific discussion helps me relieve my mind of its want to dwell on more emotional stuff. It also is my romper room for myself and my understanding (or lack thereof) of solar issues, weather and climate. I have no trouble saying this is a hobby for me but one that is intellectually stimulating. I learn something new every time a take a peak here.

An open exchange of ideas. It doesn’t get any better.
Plenty of good comments here. Ralph Short puts in words what I think, too:

Anthony,
Congrats on the new achievement.
But, should the day come that your loyal followers start talking about how a “thrill ran down my leg at his words”, I will start to worry.
Best Wishes,

An amazing graph — not only for the content, but because it
follows rational standard for labeling the axes.
How many other graphs do you see — wherever they are — where the
scale is shown starting from zero? It is such a common trick in
presentation visuals to scale the Y axis and truncate the X axis to show
or “prove” some particular point. (Never mind if the rest of the data
shows something else.)
Thanks for putting up such a rare item — an honest graph.

Maybe, alarmist will say that you are the cause for this years cooling.
This is as good a correlation as co2 is.

Hi Anthony,
I am from Australia and a journalist for the “Herald Sun’ newspaper,
Andrew Bolt who is also an avid blogger has just chalked up 1,2,000,000
hits on his site for the month of July regarding the global warming debate as a ‘denier”. This has to be a world record for the number of blogs regarding one subject. Looking forward to the next monthly Global Temp charts. Andrew
has used these temp charts to alert the public about global cooling but they are just not listening. His blogs are not even mentioned in thier opinion column.
Am I wrong or is democracy just about to go down the chute. Not if I can help it.

Welcome to the tipping point!
I knew you had a winner the first time I happened by early last summer. (And I think I can claim consensus on that.)
No thank you for providing good content!
I think you can thank “the lord” for this one.
