It’s the guys from Real Climate who sit there all day hitting the F5 button in the hopes that you will exceede your traffic limit and get shut down.
This blog is just on the top of my favourites. Certainly one of the very best in the field of climate…
I have learnt quite a lot of things since december. Thank you very much Anthony, and congratulations.
My swag is, at least, another + 250 000 in january or february 09.
Winter in Europe will certainly help.
Congrats, Anthony!! 🙂
Congratulations! Just keep up the good work and the hits will keep coming.
Hi Anthony, busy man! And congrats!
Sometimes i do a little digging myself shown on a Danish site, but some of the results i produce may be of interest of others than the little danish audience. Therefore, if you dare, it would be nice to have an email where i could send some “higlights” from the Danish debate. I hope you have a little crew so you personally are not drowning in work….
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.
I got a good laugh out of that.
Anthony, don’t be so reluctant to moneytorise your blog. It’s an accepted model on the Internet. People donate to keep voices and views they think important being heard.
$5 here, $5 there. Pretty soon it mounts up. And I’ll start the ball rolling with a $10 donation.
REPLY: Money doesn’t interest me as much as the work does. – Anthony
Congratulations, and thank you for the real science you are providing. And in an understandable way too. I must agree with those who say this is the most interesting site on climate issues.
I am looking forward to the next monthly global temperature graph (my hunch is it will be flat or slightly negative?).
I am also looking forward to more solar related stuff. Today is a partial solar eclipse here (starting 30 mins. from now) and when I look through my telescope, I can assert there are absolutely no sunspots.
Btw. There are live images from Svalbard of the ongoing solar eclipse at http://webcast1.uio.no/english.html
Well done Anthony, keep up the good work and thanks to all for brightening up what is still a cool and wet Ireland, will summer ever arrive here!
Anthony,
admit it, actually your graphic exhibits the global warming curve.
Consult Hansen for approval of this fact.
Wow! This is just one of the most interesting and most educational blog that i have ever read. you deserve to be on my top list! I will surely learn so much from reading your blogs! Keep blogging!
I think you are causing global cooling. Your website hits are going up, the temps are going down. Is that a correlation or what?

I think the stats you quote for the Andrew Bolt Blog in themselves say that the public is listening; listening and responding – not just the public, either. Click on my name, above, and read the “Christopher Monckton warns…” link from Andrew’s blog. That note from Monckton seems to have been generated from one of Andrew’s readers.
People are listening real good.
Congratulations Anthony.
You’ve become THE “Go-To Guy” not just on climate, CO2 and “AGW,” but in fact in the whole environmental realm – Sun, Earth, Ocean, Atmosphere.
A simply amazing accomplishment.
There are many pretenders on the web, but you clearly stand out as the real deal.
I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work, diligence, fairness and wonderful insight.
Anthony
Thank you very much for your time, effort and insight.
Hyon and Terry
Although I disagree with some of the stuff you post (more often with the interpretations that some commenters here provide, though), you do an excellent job of clearly conveying information, and the work you do with auditing surface stations is of the utmost importance to all fields which fall under atmospheric science. I hope you continue to have success.
Congrats, keep up the great work!
Great work, don’t know how you find all the time. Simply amazing! Site is now my homepage!
You have been a life saver Anthony.
After British Columbia government gave us the carbon tax I quit my party that was the government. My stress level was really high for a month till I found your blog. Now you are the first news source I log on in the morning. The AGW gang may think they have won in BC but the blow back is coming >:) Already the comments the pravda (province paper) have stirred the sleeping dragon of opinion against the alarmist.
its only a matter of time now.
I now join another party and now working to defeat the Liberals and their alarmist axis. Enemy at the gate! To the walls to the walls!
Anthony,
If you want to start August with a spike, I think many of us are waiting for your updated Observed Geomagnetic Averaged Planetary Index graph, an updated sunspot graph, and the July temperature anomaly charts as soon as they are available! Thanks for gathering and compiling all this info in one place!
And correlated inversely is your lack of sleep. Good thing correlation does not imply causation. Keep up the good work. I read it daily and quite often too much.!! Congrats
Congratulations, Anthony (et al). I add my kudos, for all the reasons given above. This site exemplifies intelligent and cogent information, sanity, reason, and excellent science (even if much of what’s discussed is well above me)!
I constantly forward links to articles in Watts Up With That – spread the word far and wide!
I see Andrew Bolt is commenting. Love his blog too.
I also want to emphasize again. This blog and other blogs are the way inform people of the on the climate change debate. You are up to 600,000 plus per month. NYT, if my memory serves me correctly has dropped below 100k daily (68k is coming to mind). A one page ad hits at best those people for one day. (a bit more for people that leave their paper around and a lot less because people don’t actually read advertisements then goes to the landfill/recycling)
Resources into this and blogs like Andrews are much more effective over the long term. Again, great stuff and sleep is overrated!!
Awww…shucks folks, I’m speechless! Thank you all for the kind words.
Speaking of solar eclipse: (Carsten Arnholm, Norway)
“Lucas Heinrich, a physics student from Berlin who traveled to Novosibirsk with classmates, described it as “unbelievable.”
“It became cold and dark, and suddenly it was light again. I am very happy — it was worth the trip,” Heinrich said.
It got cold in 2 minutes? Who says the sun doesn’t drive the climate?
Anthony, you have done a great job. I have learned more about weather, climate, and science in the past six months than in the several thousand years (so it seems) since school. Open forums, opposing views. The only thing we all agree on is that it’s a great place to spend time. Thanks.
Hi Anthony,
Keep up the great work!
Also, I thought you might enjoy a piece from this morning’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (though I question some of the logic in it):

It’s Aug. 1 and we’ve yet to see 90
It has, at times, been warm, muggy and sweaty this summer.
But it hasn’t yet been 90 degrees.
The official temperature in Milwaukee hit 88 degrees four times this month – July 15, 16, 17 and on Wednesday. But the temperature at Mitchell International Airport hasn’t gotten any closer to that sweltering mark, according to the National Weather Service in Sullivan. In Madison, the temperature reached 88 degrees in July 16, but no 90.
There are still plenty of chances for the temperature to hit 90 degrees this summer, with the next real chance coming Sunday or Monday. But the last summer Milwaukee didn’t reach 90 degrees was in 2000. Before that, 1915.
In Madison, the temperature didn’t reach 90 degrees in 2004, but before that, the last summer without such sweltering heat was 1924.
Meteorologists at the weather service say several factors could be keeping the temperature down, but part of it may be the ground’s fault. So much rain fell in June that the soil is saturated, the forecasters say. When the temperature hits the 80s, that moisture evaporates relatively quickly and keeps the air from heating more.
Also, thunderstorms developed several times last month and cooled the air when the temperature threatened to break out of the upper 80s.
