About 2,500,000 people visit the Museuem of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York every year. This blog was viewed about 31,000,000 times in 2011. If it were an exhibit at MoMA, it would take about 12 years for that many people to see it.
In 2011, there were 1,990 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 6,211 posts.
The busiest day of the year was November 22nd with 190,860 views. The most popular post that day was Climategate 2.0 emails – They’re real and they’re spectacular!.

Shortly after I first visited this site I recall Anthony saying he was thinking of giving it up – must be near on 10 years ago now. Most folks were strongly advocating he continued and I readily added my name to that support albeit with a short experience of what Anthony was bringing to the debate.
All I can say Anthony is thanks – from the very bottom of my heart. I hope you are very proud of what you have created – it is truly amazing.
I visit the site daily and admire most of all the convivial discourse that surrounds all the issues debated. I have learned so much through this blog and will be forever indebted to you for the effort you have made in making wattsupwiththat what it is.
I am sure one day you will be recognised for what you have done on a global scale and even though I may be the 10 millionth person in line to pat you on the back – trust me, I will be there.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ANTHONY ET ALL!
Love the content,
Best,

Best wishes to Anthony Watts, the Mods, the writers, bloggers and readers and all their families (& pets) for a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous New Year from Australia.
The information is always interesting and informative. The cartoons, retorts and snips are very very funny. Quick work there guys!
Congratulation Mr. Watts!! You have performed a monumental service for truth and integrity in climate science in contrast to the bias climate fear garbage reflected in the main stream media. Thank you so much for your hard work and sacrifice in providing such an invaluable service to your readers. Happy new year to you and your family!!
Thank You and a Happy New Year to Anthony, crew, contributors, and commenters.

What else to say but Congratulations. The story about The Canadian’s predictions 4 years ago that some 4.5 billion people could die this year due to global warming is really funny and idiotic. cheers.

And to think that some of those 31,000,000 views were mine, I feel oh so famous!
Victorious New Year! Carry on grinding the buttheads down.
About the MOMA; I know a few hundred of the views here are mine, and I doubt anyone has visited the MOMA that many times in a year! 😀 (Not and remain sane, anyhow.)
You have become an indispensable resource. All 2 dozen or so of you. 😉
You are a part of history, Ben D. However small…
Worth it.

All the best for 2012 to Anthony and crew. Best wishes and Happy New Year to all.
[REPLY: And to you. Thank you. -REP]
Happy New Year everyone. Anthony, and other contributors, moderators and other posters – thanks. This is one of the most intellectually stimulating sites on the internet and it’s definately one of my ‘must visit’ sites.
[REPLY: Thank you, Rhoda, both for your kind words and your contributions here. Best Wishes for the New Year. -REP]
best wishes to all the henchpeople and cohorts at wuwt.
[REPLY: Best wishes to you, as well. Thank you for your contributions here. -REP, least of the henches]
Good science trumps cognitive dissonance every time. Congrats and a happy and healthy new year to all.
[REPLY: And also to you. -REP]
A happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year to you and yours and may your blog attract more seekers after truth. Uhhh… just keep WUWT at the top of your blog-roll, OK? -REP

WUWT is always a first stop for me. 🙂 Much of what I write about is derived from what goes on over here!
Great work Anthony – and moderators. Also to the guest posters.
The next milestone is the 100,000,000 hits which is about a week or two away.
Cheers and all the best to everyone.
I resolve to be ‘nicer’ to the trolls, those pucks.
[REPLY: I guess that’s a start…. Happy New Year, Luther. -REP]
Darn, two hours to go and at 99,384,205 we need a mere Australia, N.A. & Europe to come view here real fast! Well, guess we need something else big to spill over into 2012.
Happy New Year everyone.
(bless you Anthony and moderators for the endless effort and providing this critical venue for those having a bit of insight into what has actually happened to science, especially “climate science”, thank you again)
[REPLY: Wayne, our readers and commenters make this all worthwhile. Thank YOU. -REP]
Well done, you guys, well done. Greetings from Oz, and together let us enjoy watching the Great Crumbling as it gathers pace this year.
31,000,000 views, eh? You realise if everyone had tipped just $1 into the jar each time…..start today, folks, and Anthony can stop worrying about the day job. $10 from me about to kick things off via PayPal.
Happy New Year!
Congratulations and Happy New Year to Anthony! You are a miracle of energy, intelligence, and creativity.
Happy New Year to the Mods and thanks for all your wonderful work.
Happy New Year to everyone.
WUWT has been my go-to site for excellent science leavened with common sense.
And in case anybody wonders, the practice of putting ice cubes in alcoholic drinks began during the era of Prohibition and bootleg booze: Ice deadens tastebuds and makes difficult to tell good liquor from rubbish. I sometimes wonder if the purveyors of fast foods around the Western world load customers’ drinks with ice for the same reason!

My apologies! I was interrupted before I completed my comment and hit enter without thinking: Everyone at WUWT deserves high praise for the quality of the content and the gentlemanly tone of the site, which is always an informative pleasure to read and without which no day can begin properly!
As a graduate of the University of Virginia who does not oppose the viewing of Mr. Mann’s e-mails, I wish you one and all a Happy New Year, about 20 minutes away, still in Virginia! Thanks, Anthony and Moderators!
happy new year, anthony & family, mods, guest contributors and commenters, as WUWT heads for 100m well-deserved hits:
CAGW fanatic Bob Berwyn is soooooo far removed from the science and public opinion, it’s embarrassing:
31 Dec: Summit County Voice, Colorado: Bob Berwyn: Global warming: Top stories of 2011
The year of the tipping point?
If 2011 goes down as the year that global warming awareness reached a critical mass, it could be attributed to the spate of unusual weather events around the globe…
The growing public acceptance may also be reflected by the increasingly shrill tone of the last few global warming deniers. On web sites like the ironically named Real Science, poster have taken to name-calling, and characterizing respected climate researchers as “morons” and worse…

Bob, u are worse than a moron…
