I have a few very important (and personal) announcements to share with the WUWT community because they will impact content and moderation over the next few weeks. Please take a moment to read this.
1. There is a pressing and very serious medical challenge in my family that will require surgery and rehabilitation time. I can’t and won’t go into details. This will require me to take periods of time away from WUWT over several weeks if not months. I don’t know the full time impact yet. This coming Friday and perhaps Saturday I’ll be offline.
2. That said, I welcome the help of any who wish to help with moderation or who wish to submit stories and essays. We could use the help of a moderator from midnight to 4AM PST. I know we have a few regulars that post during that time, and if you’d like to help, leave a comment please. WUWT has always had guest posts, and they will continue to be welcome. Leave a comment if you have an idea.
3. In case you missed it yesterday, the new ENSO/SST page is up and running. Be sure to bookmark it. This graphic on the sidebar is a direct link:
…plus it is also available in the header menu under Reference Pages. Other pages of reference graphics pages will be coming soon, more details here.
4. Steve Goddard told me several months ago that he would like to start his own blog, covering a wider range of scientific, social, economic and political topics than I wish to cover here at WUWT. You can see his blog at http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com
Thanks to Steve for all his contributions to WUWT over the last two years.
I’ll be continuing the Sea Ice News feature every Sunday.
5. For those of you wondering about the upcoming surfacestations project paper, let me say that it is now mostly out of my hands and will not be impacted by item 1. I have a team of co-authors with far greater skills than I working on it. I’m pleased with the current draft having survived a critical review designed to strengthen it. When I have more, I’ll pass it along and of course at the appropriate time the surfacestations main page will get an update.
Thank you all for your consideration. – Anthony

Thanks to you Anthony, my favorite blogger, for all your time and hard work over the years. Best wishes for a good outcome.
All the best to you and yours on the most important project you’ve ever undertaken to date. Somehow the universe will manage to limp along during this period.
Best wishes for you and your family Anthony and hope all goes well with the surgery and recovery.
All the best Anthony; from Newcastle where the pies are hot and the beer cold.
Hi Anthony
Sorry, posted my offer to moderate under Tips & Notes, so repeated here

Best wishes to you and yours for a good outcome Anthony.
My gratitude for all that you put into this work here. It gives me heart in a crazy world.
Thank you and God Bless, Annei.
Good luck sir
Anthony, wishing you and yours all the best and for a speedy and successful recovery.
Best regards
Kev.
I echo every good wish that has been recorded here. The sheer weight of them is testament to the high regard we feel for you and this very special and important blog.
All good wishes for a speedy recovery to yourself and family during your period of trial. For the transparent window you have provided on the murky, compromised world of climate science the debt owed by people of good will is truly beyond imagination.
Dear Anthony,
Family comes first!
Please accept my very best wishes and I hope and pray all turns out well for you and your tribe. Good luck and God bless.
Yours
Cassie K.
P.S The usual crowd of mopers and loiterers like me will be here when you return!
As they say where I come from ‘see yah around’ a finer compliment I cannot pay you.
Best wishes Anthony.
Hopes & Best wishes to you and your family. Family and self always comes before job and everything else, sometimes that gets forgotten.
Hi Anthony,
Since I work from home and set my own schedule I would be more than happy to moderate. I visit here at least every hour anyway. It would be my pleasure to give back to someone who has given so much to me. Let me know how I may help. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Mrs S and I will be praying for you and giving you all the support we can.
With best wishes to you and your family at this difficult time.

Best wishes from France to you and your family.
Forever grateful for your contribution to a key world debate.
May my prayers go out to you and yours.
God bless and keep you and yours! Our prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery! WUWT will be OK, family first.
Best wishes from a grateful Brit.
Very best wishes for a speedy & complete recovery.
Kindest regards,
Perry
Anthony
Best wishes to you and the family.
If the outcome of this surgery was dependent on the number of people who wished you well, then success would be guaranteed.
I sincerely hope that this proves to be the case.
It is difficult to find words which adequately describe what you have achieved since WUWT came into existence and yet selfishly, we are desperate for more. I know that everyone wishes for the best of all possible outcomes in the shortest time.
Fingers crossed.
“May my prayers go out to you and yours.”
Ditto, Amen
