Sea Ice page the top page – no surprise there!
Can’t keep us chillun off that ice!
🙂
Anthony,
Is it possible for you to list the most commented posts too?
I am pleased to see a solar related post almost at the top of the most viewed for 2010.
Anthony & mods, thanks for a whole 2010 filled with WUWT.
Best wishes for 2011!
John
“Golly Gee” I sure like your site . . . I mean, I really like it.. . . I have enjoyed reading all the posts over the last year. I really like the ease of use and the ease in following a discussion, the archives, the maps, recent posts etc. It’s neat, clean and easy to view. I hope you don’t mind that I recommend it to others as an example of a great site. And if it weren’t for Climate Depot.com I would not have ever “stumbled” upon it. I am not a Scientist, although I wanted to be one . . . But, most importantly I have always admired the “discipline” of the inquirers even if the discipline does become undisciplined at times.
The only thing I would add . . . would be a spell check for people like me . . .
Thank you and best wishes for Success . . . and for Health, Wisdom, and Wealth . . . . . . . . in that Order!
AN-TH-O-NEEEEEE!!!!
Isn’t there a bowl game you should be watching or something?
(Bullhorn: “Put down the keyboard. Step away from the computer and nobody gets hurt, see?)
Happy New Year to you and yours from Rossa and her Mum in slightly milder (all of 5c) northern England, UK.
And here is what we’re up against…

WOW !!!
Lots of hits.
Except for the sea ice page, there isn’t really a pattern with the other links. Lots of different topics.
Here’s to more success to you Anthony next year !!!
I wish you all the very best for 2011 Mr Watts and the WUWT team.Not forgetting the contributors to the comments.
Rather than argue toe to toe with AGW advocates about the science(Which I admit knowing bugger all about but they never do)I will always refer them to here.
Have a good one.
2010 will be hard to top. To Anthony and the entire WUWT team, thanks. Here’s to hoping for an even better 2011.

I would be curious about a comparison with views to comments on these threads.
I’m surprised Anthony’s “Dial M” isn’t in there.
Some of the best coverage of the Gulf oil disaster was here. The details and the photos were very well done. It was a subject outside of the normal scope of the blog; yet, it was very informative.
Thanks for the great work, and please accept my best wishes for 2011!
With all of the pages in the blogosphere, newsites, and other entities linking to the thousands of posts at WUWT, the Google page ranking for many search terms shows WUWT content quite highly.
This is an example of a “positive feedback”.
Why did you wait so long to post this? You could have done this one back in the spring and we could have talked about it all year. After all, “2010 — the warmest year ever” was announced long, long ago.
I am a bit surprised the 10:10 didn’t make it in there. That was a huge article that got a lot of attention.
I would like to see a list of the more important articles.
Who decides is difficult of course, but I reckon the following is way up there.
How does Hansen get away with it?

Perhaps there could be a: “Readers recommend the most important threads in 2010”?
As a frustrated ham radio operator, I stumbled across WUWT Binging “zero sunspots” Many hours of very educational reading have ensued since! Many thanks! Happy New Year!
One thing stands out…..
Global Warming is strictly a product of leisure time and affluent societies.
If we were worried about our next meal, not a one of us would have the time for it.
That means that all in all, the world is doing a whole lot better…
….and that’s good news
Yup! I read all of ’em and many more.
Thanks for another year of keeping science on the front burner. No doubt discussion will hot up next year as well. More sweaty collars will, no doubt, pop an apoplexic button or two with ‘news of fresh disasters’ (for those of you who remember Beyond the Fringe) bring more walls of AGW tumbling down.
See you all at the Thames Ice Festival or skating the Six Cities Tour.
I don’t whether to thank you, or not, Anthony! Since stumbling over your site earlier this year, I’ve been addicted to the darned thing.
Thank you anyway, and best wishes to everybody for 2011.

Oh, I think 2011 will be a doozy. Think about it. When the AGW proponents are grasping at straws, they’ll hang on for dear life no matter how ridiculous. It’s going to be an interesting year. I’ve got the popcorn ready.
What I would like to see somewhere is an index of 100 or more climate topics or statements, such as “Sea level not rising at Tuvalu”, “Antarctic ice increasing” etc, with a link to a discussion on the subject. Ideally that index would be here at WUWT or CA. I can’t see such a list but perhaps I have not looked hard enough.
Lord Monckton comes out with the kind of statements that I want to see.

> Anthony,

I don’t know if WordPress makes that easy. I can do to it from home with the data I maintain to support my Guide to WUWT http://home.comcast.net/~ewerme/wuwt/index.html I’ll see what I can do tonight.
Please don’t ask Anthony for favors this week, he’s supposed to be goofing off instead of playing around.

We have some frustrated amateur sunspot photographers here too. I’m not a ham, otherwise I’d say 73.

Well, to be sure, that was a memorable one.
