I don’t know, Anthony, all these comments might have contributed mightily to global warming, what with all the breathing in and out whilst we sit in front of our computer screens contemplating your posts. Or at least that theory makes about as much sense as some of those propagated by the warm-mongers. In any event, congratulations are in order, and I can’t think of a more well-deserved blog anywhere on the interwebs.

Many thanks for all the hard work Anthony, moderators and guest writers. WUWT is my number One site for 2010, and fair to say well deserves the top Science Blog Award too. Thanks to Links on this site, I have a better idea of what real science actually looks like, something entirely absent on TV or in those deplorable Rags – No Scientist, Socialist American, Forgetful Geographic, and Time ( its red for a reason).
While you enjoy the Hydrogen Dioxide garnish in the Northern Hemisphere, we in the southern will actually have a BBQ summer Christmas, with real BBQ’s and 100% Natural Variability induced Sunshine – via that big spotless incandescent bulb in the sky – which everyone knows in no ways contributes to Global ClimoDisruptoCooloWarming.

Merry Christmas to Anthony and The Mods! (Do-wop, do-waaaa…)
500,000 comments of the sort:
Informative
Brilliant
Funny
Very funny
Trollery (but still fun)
Drollery
Good questions
And chatty, from regulars all ’round the world (and a few comments that I suspect are not from someone in this part of of the solar system)
Thank you WUWT. Anthony, nice to meet you briefly in Australia. We are sopping wet here, and expecting a king tide of 2.6 m at 11:24 am in Brisbane.

Thanks to Anthony and all other commenters over the last 3 years…using up at last half an hour and usually more of my valuable time every day…
Merry Christmas the lot of you…can I have my prize now please?

Well, Christmas dinner awaits the purchase of groceries, and my boyfriend is waiting for me at the Tavern. Ale waits for no Irish woman worth a damn. So it looks like I won’t be in the running. Not that I’m upset. Love this blog to death and am just thrilled to see my little additions mentioned at all. I’ll tip a frothy pint for all the mods, Anthony, and commenters. See ya in the morning. Make that noon.

If I remember correctly, I was directed to this site by Christopher Booker long before ClimateGate appeared. I’ve been a regular reader and occasional writer ever since.
It is a great site, and I commend it for regular and frequent postings, fair treatment of those of the opposite persuasion and good maintenance of reasonable standards of politeness. More importantly, it reports on key technical and political revelations. I also thank Anthony for his frequent intervention with words of fairness and wisdom.
As I read my own words I squirm a bit because I’m normally ultra critical. WUWT is a great site, it has contributed much to the case for realistic climate concern.

I’m a big fan of this site and hope for the day when Anthony comes to Toronto to do a tandem presentation with M&M. With your current weather, if you left Cali now, you could probably paddle here.

It needs to be something profound. Deep. Serious.
So did you buy those red shoes after all that you were agonising about a year or two ago? The world waits.

Threaded comments, as they are at CA, would be good though. It’s hard to have an actual discussion on various points when there’s just one big wall of them. Just imho.

I’m a long standing fan of WUWT and I deeply appreciate the efforts of the Mods and Anthony in keeping this site possibly the best I have ever visited: it is informative, educational, humorous and accessible to all, even those without PhDs in esoteric disciplines.
I was going to wish all who are involved in running this site a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year, but, as I live in the Politically Correctly stifled UK I shall have to convey my sentiments as follows:-
“Please accept without obligation, either express or implied, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice, celebrated according to the most enjoyable traditions, religious beliefs or secular practices of your choice, with due respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions of any kind at all;
AND
a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures, whose contributions to civilisation are also acknowledged, and without regard to race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious belief, choice of computer platform, or sexual orientation.

For a layman like me WUWT really has helped me strengthen my opinion on AGW and helped open channels of info on climate change, I looked into this more after seeing a very well articulated post a while back on prison planet and since then you’ve been on my BB social feed.
So here’s to you Anthony and the rest of the crew for another 500,000 comments and future excellent articles. Will you make a model to predict the 1 million mark? 😉
I’m fairly new here, having found my way via Twitter earlier this year; in fact, this may be my first comment. Anyway, this has become one of my favorite sites, one that I read and retweet often throughout the day. Thanks.

My blog’s been up for years and I’ve got no comments at all — except for one I did myself under another name.

I’ll wait until the 1,000,000 mark

Merry Xmas to all at WUWT (especially A and the tireless mods of course)
(OK, OK – just trying to calculate dCommment/dt in order to be 500K)
Good one, John A.
Using advanced computer models I expect Gavin Schmidt to win.
