Congratulations Anthony! You and your team of volunteer are really making a difference. This is the go to site for the latest information on climate change.

Are you going to send Mr. Mann a copy of the graph?
….or perhaps you could invite him to submit his “peer review” of the graph.
That could be one of the more -robust- moments of 2010!

Be careful in case CRU use this graph to homegenise their temperatures with.

The last time I looked, I was not generally, or even superficially male. However, I am oriented towards them. One in particular. Happy New Year to my C. And to all of you.

Unlike the AGW hockey stick, which is “value added(?)” to measured data, your hockey step is measured data that represent value added to the world.
Happy New Year to Anthony and the Mods.
Congratulations and happy New Year from Slovenia. I really enjoy your blog throughout the year!

Michael Mann called. He’d like to splice your data to the end of his tree ring data in order to hide the decline. I thought that would be a clever trick. Thoughts?
Richard Holle (01:51:20) :
Real interest is up in all manner of scientific, and there is a resurgence in the value of critical thinking. It’s about time the peer review gatekeepers, lost the key to the doors of science.
Hear hear.
The smart, the very smart, the incredibly smart “barbarians”…are at the gates!
It is only a matter of time.
CHARGE!!

Somebody had to do the heavy lifting.
4,888,000 thanks to you, Mr Watts (and crew).
I have been able to locate no other site which is free of political bias, replete with scholarly references, and packed solid with the detail necessary to refute the dominant paradigm.
I have a strong bias here: if a theory is not subject to verification and possible falsification, that theory is not scientific.
The documented fact that the FOIA requests to CRU have been rejected, and the raw data never made available, is in itself probable cause to suspect the result.
Far from being settled, the science is not science.
The unfortunate truth is that the behavior of the thin film which we call our atmosphere is poorly understood, and the tools necessary to study the film are still in their infancy.
Please do not stop now, wattsupwiththat. We need your continued active documentation and reporting.

SEA LIONS VANISH FROM FISHERMAN’S WHARF
The animals began to leave at the end of November. There were more than 1,500 at the dock only five weeks ago, but yesterday only about 20 lounged in a distant corner of the dock…………
Their departure is a mystery. Among the more speculative theories is that it is linked to an imminent earthquake. Some point out that the sea lions began “hauling out” at K dock directly after the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989. By January 1990, the population had reached 150 and within a few months hundreds had returned.

Did any one else notice that the huge spike in site traffic was in the same month as the SNL “What Up With That” skit? http://www.hulu.com/watch/102975/saturday-night-live-what-up-with-that
Sorry to say but the record-breaking site traffic is from people looking to catch Keenan acting a fool.

I rather not be a party pooper but our Gav has recommended I get some guys called McIntyre and McIttrick to investigate your hockey stick graph. Please send them the data” :-\
LOL.
The only way we could make it interesting for Mc&Mc to investigate…is to get GAVIN and company to FIRST determine the early WUWT numbers [through tree-ring proxy reconstruction], and THEN graft the REAL numbers on at the end.
Not sure how the hell one can determine blog-hits through tree-rings, but, you know, if anyone has the appropriate tricks up their sleeves, its the Hockey Team.
Screw that hockey team!
Watching REAL hockey…outdoor hockey at Fenway Park [Bruins/Flyers]…with some snow around the field right now.
Heavy snow forecast tomorrow for Boston….bring it on!!

Phil Jones (04:33:32) : WUWT popularity is skyrocketing.
I can’t explain that, and it’s a travesty that I can’t.
_________________________________________________________________________
ClimateGate has made it ‘necessarily skyrocket’.
Now and ad on the front page of Yahoo letting more people know they can learn about the other side of global warming here, including about ClimateGate, would have a skyrocketing effect too, IMO. Yahoo gets 171 millions views a day from 71.8 people in the US alone. http://www.quantcast.com/yahoo.com
Maybe if 1000 people donated $10.00 each, or something like that, there could be a nice nest egg for ads, IMO.

Great job on the blog, and congrats!
I’d like to see more people to be intelligent and discerning, and not just bandwagon/pile onto every percieved issue.
For instance the “French Revolution” with their rejecting the carbon tax wasn’t quite as touted. It was rejected due to too little taxing, not too much. 🙂
Good luck in 2010 WuWT!

Happy New Year to you, Anthony, to the wonderful moderators and to the guest writers!
Ever since coming here (one of the small upticks in 2008 could’ve been me …) its like being back at college: learning something new, even if its very mind-stretching at times, and having a banter on the side.
Mind – the scientific debates here are so excellent, a huge Thank You is also due to all the commentators!
Thank you all for what you’ve done – long may it continue!

Arthur Glass (06:00:34) : Europeans were half a millennium away from learning the ‘Arabic’ (actually Indian) system of numeration with its marvelous invention of zero (Indian philosophy, in contrast with the Greek, seems to have be much less terrified about the concept of ‘nothing’).
————————————————————–
Actually it is thought by some that 0 (zero) is the number of God, and not nothing, since everything multiplied by 0 goes to 0 making it impossible to overcome, i.e., it’s infinitely powerful.
So then it’s not nothing, but rather, the opposite of nothing.
And division by zero is ‘undefined’? Since dividing by smaller and smaller numbers, as you approach zero, produces larger and larger results then wouldn’t dividing by actually reaching zero, be infinity and not ‘undefined’?
(I wonder what Luboš Motl thinks of that? His string theory math makes my head hurt)
Congratulations and a happy new year to everyone. This long range forecast and update on El Nino is worth a look and might be worth a post. It’s called [weather] ‘Back to the 1070s’
