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

As I can say is the very best of luck for you and yours and hope everything goes OK , your audience eagerly awaits your speedy return , we will be there for you when you do , best wishes Anthony
Family, Anthony, family is the most important thing in life, and as many of us feel that we are part of a greater WUWT family, we can do nothing but hope for the best in your family and send our prayers to you and yours.

Anthony – I sincerely wish you the best with your challenges. Be well, you and your folks.
We may disagree fiercely on subjects WUWT revolves around, but I would not be here if I found no value in postings and argumentations here. Therefore I also wish the best for this site en much strength and wisdom for the moderators here.
Anthony you are a fine human being. I wish you and your family well.
I will keep you and yours in my thoughts as well. And will continue to read and comment in this forum. The scientific nature here combined with the tamped down political contamination has kept me coming back for more. I care not one wit which political side scientific voracity is on.
Anthony,
Very best wishes from this Irish devoted reader of your blog. I look forward to having you back and reading good news about your family.
Beannacht Dé ort.
Peter Walsh
My very best wishes to you and your family.
Mike Bradbury
Along with everyone else, I send my best wishes and prayers for a good outcome. We’ll be waiting when you come back.
May the Good Lord look after you and your family. I as with others will say a small prayer. As we used to say in the Navy “May you have fair winds and following seas” during any recovery period.
President Eisenhower warned us:
“…..The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present…..
……..Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together……..”

We see it coming to pass and Anthony is in the vanguard of the battle to keep these United States free.
May the Lord bless and protect Anthony.
We need him.
Regards,
Steamboat Jack (Jon Jewett’s evil twin)
I pray that all goes well for you and your family. Thank you Anthony for all your good work.
My prayers go to you and yours. I hope everything resolves in the best possible way.
All the best to You and Yours
Thank You Anthony for the good teaching site WUWT has been for me and for your visit and speech in Perth, AUS. All the best to you and your family . A speedy and complete recovery do we wish you. Hope to see you soon in the site again. Inga and Jorgen
Anthony, I can understand totally. My wife had extensive lumbar back surgery in April and we are still having scheduling conflicts. I do wish blessings and favor on you and your family. May the recovery be quick and the surgery be the beginning of complete restoration of good health.
God bless,
Bill Derryberry
Take care of your family Anthony. You will be in my prayers.
Sometimes a challenge like this can be a blessing in disguise, I am coming off of years
with a very ill and debilitated wife, She fought the system in modern medicine and
is now much much improved. Her problem was neuro-muscular problems exacerbated by undiagnosed Lyme.I thought what she was doing was all boooga booga science.
For the first time in years(we used to wilderness camp and a bit of rock climbing)
we went for a good long hike.
Hang in there Anthony, Godspeed….
I hate hospitals. I had to get a surgery once and was in for 4 days. My heart and prayers go out to your family member. I hope it nothing serious.
Best to you Anthony. May there be a speedy and full recovery from whatever the procedure is.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Rest assured that you have already made a huge and positive impact in our lives.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours. Godspeed and hurry back.
James Sexton
Thank you for all your contributions, Anthony, which have been immeasurable. To the person in your family who is ill, I wish a speedy recovery. To you, I wish a speedy return to doing what you do best.
My prayers are with you and your family.
