Heading for half a million comments

Who will it be? It is likely to happen in the next 12-24 hours.

Between the hundreds of spam comments we get daily, and regular comments, I’d just like to say thanks to the moderation team.

It doesn’t much mean anything, just something fun.

Congratulations, Anthony and Mods! A prestigious event, we ALL win when you reach 0.5 million comments!
I hope the excessive di-hydrogen-oxide out in California hasn’t bothered you much….pictures from San Diego are rather amazing!! Climate disruption, clearly.
Cheers & thanks, Charles the DrPH

That was the first post to receive no comments.
I think the last post to receive no comments (and was open for comments) was http://wattsupwiththat.com/2007/12/15/now-thats-a-big-snowstorm/
There were as many as 46 others that year to be uncommented upon.

I just wanted to say, out of all the comments ever on this blog, this is certainly one of them.
Merry Christmas, Anthony, and the best to your family!

Thx 10e6 for your postings. As a retired Ch Eng. I enjoy reading your content each day. Keep up the GOOD WORK. I’m interested in open science… no bias… just the facts, data and observations please. We’re still in the infant stages of collecting and analyzing environmental data. Lets see…. another 100 yrs may lead to more conclusive models & forecasts. Merry Christmas from Richvs

Thank you Anthony, the team and all the contributors, who have made this an oasis of sanity and fun in the turbulent and sometimes very scary times in the rise of global hot air from AGWScience supporters. I’m so glad I found you. A merry Christmas to one and all and peace to all mankind.

Thanks for this outstanding site, Anthony, and for all your work keeping the amazing science reports coming!
Thanks, moderators, for keeping us all to the straight and narrow while allowing all diverse view points to be heard (ahem, ‘read’).
Thanks, guest posters, for your stimulating contributions, with extra stars going to the one and only Willis Eschenbach!
Thanks everyone for your comments, videos, links and witticisms.
I’ve been reading here for two years now, with the odd comment thrown in here and there – and I am very grateful for all I’ve learned here.
A Merry Christmas to all of you, and a Happy New Year!
Did I win??? 😉

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.
tonyb
Two pair! Mid heels. A dark cherry red. One pair with a buckle on the side, and the other with the strap behind the heel (aka sling backs).
To quote from the movie “Chocolat”, “Why do you have to wear red shoes?” Because I can.

I paraphrased about the shoes. Vianne is often seen wearing red shoes. Here is the scene related to red versus black shoes:
[Anouk has come home from school upset]
Vianne Rocher: Anouk, just tell me what happened.
Anouk Rocher: Are you Satan’s helper?
Vianne Rocher: Well, it… it’s not easy, being different.
Anouk Rocher: Why can’t we go to church?
Vianne Rocher: Well, you can if you want… but it won’t make things easier.
Anouk Rocher: Why can’t you wear black shoes like the other mothers?
What’s not to like about this movie? It has lots of chocolate and red shoes in it.

They sound very elegant.
I like the book and film of Chocolat. The author is one of my favourites.

Oog. Just noticed the “Ads by Google” at the top. They’ve stuck in one , “Study Environment Change
Over 150 species on earth become extinct every day
http://www.ie.edu/biology
At least it’s paid spam! It’s selling offensive nonsense, of course.
Pam, why don’t you buy an ad directly here offering to sell glossies of yourself posing in the red shoes (and nothing else)? If the site gets a cut, you and Anthony would both make out like bandits!

Brian H, actually, me and red shoes with nothing else would be 54 year old offensive nonsense.

Maybe you can single-handedly stop global cooling!
