Last month I was surprised to find WUWT broke the 2 million hits barrier.
This month, it’s worse than we thought:
Just another effect of Climategate.
In other news, some other websites didn’t appear to benefit from the Climategate “bump”.

As always, I say I could not have done this alone. My sincere thanks to the many contributors, and moderators Charles, DB, and Evan. Of course, let’s not forget all the readers and commenters. Truly a global village we have here.

I’m not surprised, but I am impressed.
And of course, pretty much everyone looking at it will immediately recognize the hockey stick. I knew it would eventually show up in a legitimate form in climate science…
Ok Anthony… we want to see the raw data please 🙂
REPLY: That IS the raw data. – A
YOU are the cause of Global Warming – the correlation is clear.
I had a look at Tamino one day (just a reflex after his starring role in some of the Climategate emails) and it was a pitiful sight (and site) of true believers talking themselves up and vainly reassuring each other the world hasn’t changed.
There are several stories here.
The MSM are trashing what little reputation they had by ignoring the Climategate story. Educated citizens are now seeking their news from people who will report on all the facts rather than avoid inconvenient ones. And the excellent stewardship of the scientific case for climate realism by WUWT.

Global warming meeting postponed…

I love village life !
Anthony,
Could we please see an overlay of the top stats graph – appropriately stretched, centered, and adjusted – with original “hokey stick” (excuse me, that’s ‘hockey stick’) graph of Mann and “The Team”; with r and r-squared, also. Just expanding on 3×2’s comment.
Seriously, I am surprised, impressed, and thankful. Great job.
That looks more like a goalie’s stick. In my city (Vancouver) we have Roberto Luongo. Suck rocks, the rest of you!
Hi Anthony,
This is very impressive, and looked at another way, it shows who the “deniers” really are.
This is proof that, in general, the “true believers” just do not want to know about Climategate. They don’t want to know what those emails show. They don’t want to know what the IPCC scientists really think. They just want to go on believing.
There’ll never be a proof for the existence of God, but this graph you’ve shown is certainly a proof for the existence of religion. 🙂
Best regards, Alex
Al Gore estimates that this website will dominate the whole internet by 2050!
You need to “adjust” the raw data, because I have personally visited this site three million times over the past two weeks.
Or at least it has felt that way.
My wife is not entirely pleased by your success, especially when I let the fires go out.
Outstanding! Thank you and your team for your fantastic coverage of Climategate.

Ah! Now I understand why my browser was taking so long to connect.
Well done Sir. And your support team.
WUWT should be among the “trick” why “climategate” now has 13.3 million entries in google, vs. only 9.8 million entries for “GW” (as of this writing). Congrats Anthony and moderators! Super-great job!

NeoWORX is free. But if you really want to blow us away with raw data, add a free Google Analytics tracker and grant public access to the reports!
My next book is how this website saved the world – thank you, Mr. Watts!
I predict you’ll soon need a logarithmic scale. Congratulations.
You have been doing just wonderful work, Anthony, and I feel I am privileged to have the opportunity to read what this site publishes. What you have been up to is what scientific method is really all about. I salute you.
Truly a global village… long may it last… keep on trunking!
Now if you could only get 5% of the tens of thousands of political idiots going to Copenhagen to ruin our civilization to read WUWT
Thank you Anthony,
Mr. Watts,
I think that you are going to have a moderately significant place in the history of science. You’ll be one of those people who are listed beside Galileo and Pasteur.
Al Gore will be listed along with Charles Ponzi.
PajamasMediaTV has the CEI interviewing spokesmen of three Green groups.
The interesting part actually is that they all hit the same talking points. Obviously the memos have been sent and memorized.
Unfortunately you have to get really into the details to trip these guys up….I don’t think they’d last as lone with some of the bloggers/commenters. The CEI guys just hit the high points.

Head of the British Antarctic Survey on BBC Radio4 an hour ago. They’ve just discovered that sea-levels will rise by 1.4metres this century (double the previous estimate).The BBC man was very supportive. Mentioned sceptics and how to convince them but no mention of why they’re so uppity in the first place!
Nice one!
A hockey stick we can believe in – the data so raw they’re still bleeding.
The other sites seem to show the true state of ‘warming’: it ain’t happening.
I conclude with an unscientific but gleeful tee-hee-hee!
Well done Anthony, I’ve been a regular visitor to your site for around three years. I posted on RealClimate about three years ago saying that for a hypothesis to be true there must be some mathematical expression which defines the hypothesis and enables us to test the validity through doing sums. So I said, where is the mathematical relationship between CO2 and Temperature that would prove once and for all that the warmists were right.
I was inexperienced then, and having tried to post since on a number of topics realise that it was an absolute fluke that my post made it onto the screens of the readers of RealClimate given Gavin’s penchant for censoring anything vaguely resembling debate.
Anyway, in the flood of vituperation that followed from the many wierdos that seem to haunt that site, one of them, not his/her exact words, told me if I wanted to talk rubbish like that I should bugger off to WattsUpWith that or ClimateAudit, at that time I’d never heard of WattsUpWithThat, but I am thankful for the beraters that they directed me to this site and I’ve been regularly visiting ever since.
Funny old world.
