1 Jan: NYT: Editorial: A Tempestuous Year
Is there a connection between last year’s extreme weather events and global warming? The answers might be a lot clearer if the Republicans in Congress were less hostile to climate change research…
(A version of this editorial appeared in print on January 1, 2012, on page SR10 of the New York edition with the headline: A Tempestuous Year)

Thank you Anthony, moderators and posters, have been a lurker on this site for about two years now, its been an education, many thanks.
[Reply: We know we have many thousands of loyal lurkers, and we love our WUWT lurkers! You are the silent majority that helps keep our traffic numbers high, despite Google and WordPress efforts to the contrary. You are all very much appreciated. ~dbs, mod.]
A happy and joyous new year to y’all … readers, commenters, mods, and above all, Anthony.
Less than 10 days to 100 million and three or four years to a quarter billion! Quality sells.
Happy New Year Anthony and Mods and posters – I enjoy this site way too much and next stop 100,000,000!

Congratulations and a happy new year, anyone wish to bet that the coming year is going to the warmest ever reality not withstanding.
Let me join all the other good contributors and wish Anthony, his family, and the loyal WUWT moderators a very healthy and Happy New Year! It’s always a pleasure to drop in!
Cheers, Charles the DrPH
True confessions (well one confession posted on Facebook):
Barring silliness like that, I have high expectations that 2012 will show that things can be interesting without snow. And that snow will come along soon enough.
Thanks all for an interesting 2011.
HNY to Anthony, mods and all involved in keeping this site strong, respected and rightfully feared by greedy climate egotists. (I would not have to write “feared” in a just and sensible world. But in such a world there would be no need for WUWT.)
We all appreciate your hard work. Please press on. All the best in 2012.
Thanks

Thank you Anthony, your long-suffering family, moderators and all!
Best wishes and a prosperous new year to you all. Not only your supporters, but the whole world, owes you a huge debt. One day they’ll understand.

Allow me to add my voice of thanks to Anthony, the mods, the guest posters and the commentariate! May you all go from strength to strength in 2012.
Thank you Anthony et al. and that et al. means everyone how contributed in any way. You people are simply amazing. You are all philosophers, seekers of knowledge and truth about that knowledge. This blog is amazing, not just in the number of views or the obvious influence it has but in how the philosophical ideals and the power of the web are illustrated here.
Here’s a new years present. Can someone explain to me how, when we’re near the top of a seasonal sine-wave signal, the seasonal adjustment is upwards?

The WUWT phenomenon spreads at the speed of enlightenment. That comes as no surprise to me, Anthony. 😀
This is one of the first climate realist websites I discovered when I began to question the AGW orthodoxy thanks to the increasingly shrill climate hysteria emanating from government and the media. The hysteria simply didn’t tally with real life observations. The climate/weather wasn’t doing anything it hadn’t done before. Plus, I was aware that the climate had been a lot warmer in the early Holocene as well as more recent times (MWP).
Thank goodness for your hard work uncovering the scam. Long may WUWT continue to lift the warmist rocks and make the creatures lurking in the shadows scuttle for cover.
A prosperous New Year to you and yours and to the many people, learned and lay, who make this community so interesting, informative and kickass. (Can I say that?)
Congratulations, and job well done. I appreciate all the effort! It is worthwhile!
Best wishes in the new year.
This is the third year running that I have used material from this site to formulate real-life case studies on ethics (i.e. the lack thereof) in final exams for my software engineering students. Keep it up Anthony!
Anthony, mods, guest posters – thank you! A happy new year to you all, and please keep ferreting out the facts.
Onward and upward! Many, many thanks Anthony for your continued dedication to introducing us all to the curiosities and wonders of the world around us, and most importantly to providing the central venue for real skeptical debate about climate and other politicized science. Visiting here continues to be an education. Happy New Year to you and all the patient moderators, as well contributors and fellow commenters (and to FOIA for your brave contributions)!
So much for the Ministry of Truth. Bring on 2012 Anthony, I’m sure they will be as upset as ever. Congrats to all involved for such a level headed discussion over the years.
Well done, gang. A happy and prosperous new year to us all.
Congratulations Anthony, Mods and Contributors. I’ve lurked around here for a few months. I’m not a scientist and, while I was always a bit skeptical, I wasn’t really sure what to make of the whole Climate Change thing until I came to WUWT . Now I’m utterly convinced that CAGW is an absolute crock and a fraud. Anyone who could check in here for even a week and not be convinced by the many excellent posts refuting it is just beyond my comprehension.
There is real SCIENCE, analysis, evidence and rational argument by the truckload here and I’m constantly amazed by it. And even more amazed that the rest of the world just won’t be convinced. Global Warming is the South Sea Bubble and Dutch Tulip Mania all over again. Only on a more massive world-wide scale. The Tech-wreck will be nothing once this baby implodes – and inevitably it will! Poor science started it and good science will be its undoing.
Sincere thanks for your efforts and best wishes to all.
Hi from Australia!Thank you Anthony as we have been using your site for debates here against government trolls.We here hope you all have a safe time now and into the future.The posters and commenters help with knowledge is very valuable to us in helping us to understand.Be safe and live long people 🙂
I can only enthusiastically concur with all the excessively deserved adorations above! These dialogues help to nurture new legions of the skeptical realists who will be required to provide the essential checks against the science bastardizers who have not only blunted human progress, but have caused it’s regression. I can only hope that, however unlikely, I may have the honor to be the first of the 2012 New Year to congratulate you Anthony, et al, on a phenomenally successful achievement..
