Despite my having to cut back on posting and moderation to nights and weekends in order to devote more time to my livelihood during these economic down times, WUWT continues to grow. Today I reached another new milestone, nearly 1/4 million page views (248,116) in a single week. This is counted up to 00 GMT which is 4PM PST. Below is my WordPress traffic graph from about 5:30PM PST today:
First I want to thank my moderation team for stepping in to manage the huge flood of comments we get, the regular contributors who offer interesting essays, and of course I thank you, my readers for your continued interest and visits. – Anthony

Anthony, many of us here in the UK would join in congratulating you on your personal ‘hockey stick’. You are making a very important contribution to the debate on an issue of world importance. Please keep going at a time when the balance of that debate is so significantly shifting, not least thanks to your efforts (and those of Mother Nature). Yet again this week I paid semi-playful tribute to you in my column in the London Sunday Telegraph – http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/3883550/Facts-melted-by-global-warming.html#comments
and a very happy Christmas to you and yours.
Congrats, love the site, you deserve the numbers.
Lets ‘NAIL’ Al Gore, and all the other fairy tale writers!
Keep up the great work.
As always an excellent column it was too Mr Booker.
Congratulations for your great crusade!!
Congratulations from Chicago, where we currently have -5 degrees F. of global warming this morning! I read your site often, learn from it and love it. Thank you for your hard work!
Adding my thanks to all the others. You have gone a long way to dispelling the “Myth-conceptions”. Pun intended, ….
Congratulations Anthony, have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.

There is an old church a few miles from my home that was the site of a skirmish in the American Revolution. Now, the most popular hymnal in the 18th century was edited by one Isaac Watts, and when the Patriots ran out of paper to tamp down their gunpowder, they made do by tearing pages out of the hymnals and using those. Their battle-cry was, ‘Give ’em Watts, boys! Give ’em Watts’
I propose that ‘Give ’em Watts!’ be made the official motto of climate sceptics.
Long may the banner of this excellent and informative blog wave!

Excellent work Anthony. I always visit here to read the lively debate and truthful insights, void of politically correct nonsense.
Always fresh and interesting, with few of the ad hominem attacks that certain dogmatic factions appear to so quick to resort to. Well moderated and informative. Great blog Anthony. Possibly even iconic.
I really enjoy this blog. You deserve your success–well done, and keep on going!
I did my part.

hmm…wild fires…does anyone know if they will happen all the time wether we are here or not????? *question of the day* (sarc)
Anthony:
First, thank you and congrats. You deserve the success.
Second, I have an unrelated–and probably a dumb–question and couldn’t find any other way to contact you directly so I’m posting here. I’m having trouble understanding how your post where you cite four data sources (including GISS) showing significant cooling:
http://wattsupwiththat.com/2008/02/19/january-2008-4-sources-say-globally-cooler-in-the-past-12-months/
jibes with GISS’ claim that 2007 was the second warmest year on record:

I know you’re busy, but can you answer or at least point me to where I can find the answer?
Thanks again for the help and for all of your hard work fighting the good fight.
Cheers!
Congrats, Anthony! When a little prosperity reaches me, I will send some shekels, so you can keep going.:]
