As we struggle in the effort to expose the fraud and cons of the AGW crowd, let us remember the true meaning of the Christmas story and a
personality of such legendary importance that we encourage our children to believe … and they grow up to encourage their children to believe, and those childre grow up to……Ah St. Nick…. my hero.
Happy New Year.

To all the puzzle people in this great community, a rare sanctum of sanity, thanks for your good manners, your curiosity, endless insights, and broad perspectives.
And to Anthony, I hope your stocking is lumpy this morning! (Steve’s too)
Merry Christmas to All!

“nofate (04:32:03) :
Question: why is the sunspot number 11 when there are no sunspots at all? Have they just not updated the number yet? Just an amateur being curious.”
Very good question.
The data provided by NONBH on SC24.com indicates that Dec 25 @ur momisugly 12:06 UTC, SSN = 11.
Whilst SIDC lists today’s ISN as 000.
The sun is blank, and yet again we have a sunspot number assigned, and yet again nothing will be done, it will be ignored and when the monthly sunspot number for Dec will be finalized in January, we will be told that SC 24 is ramping up sharply and 2009 did not exceed 2008 in spotless days.
Layman’s Count is now the only valid count for this minimum.
It would be interesting to see Leif’s comments on this issue.
At least the sun has given us a nice spotless appearance this Christmas as reminder of this incredible minimum!
Merry Christmas from New Hampshire. Christmas is white, I’m on WUWT before coffee and waking up my wife to get festivities underway. (Gotta work on priorities?) Daughter home from college is being patient.
Happy Christmas to Anthony , his helpers and all WUWT Readers
Just to repeat the comments above about this blog and CA and to add my own bit: this blog does such good work and is such a pleasure to read. Thanks to all who work to make it happen.
Thanks to all the readers whose contributions make the blog so informative. Like pwl above, I’m a bit of a Newton fan and I shall now celebrate his birthday. My real hero though, is Maxwell. In my opinion, he was the giant who’s shoulders Einstein stood on.
Seasonal Greetings to all and lets hope the momentum that has been built up continues in the New Year

Merry Xmas to one and all!
God willing the tide has started to turn in the battle against ignorance and selfish vested interests, lets hope 2010 brings a return to sanity and ethics in science.
Many thanks from the UK, a nation that in many ways gave birth to scientific endeavor is mired in rent seeking political corruption at the highest levels, it is to be hoped that our American friends can as always lead us away from the darkness and into a new dawn of truth.

Merry Christmas from East Texas y’all! Global warming brought a trace of snow and froze our pond over this morning! Cool!

Hmmmm, I wonder… Suppose those responsible for measuring the length of the day have been using bad code in their calender models. What if they are wrong, and in fact we are smack in the middle of the coldest NH summer in the history of the earth?
Happy Labour day everyone!
