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!.
Ha! Close, anyway.
Congratulations to you and your helpers and contributors that keeps the good ship WUWT on track in the march towards good science and exposure of the worst of the insanity that has duped so many in a mockery of all that is science and discovery.
I hope for the sake of the world and science that this 2012 year will see the scales of blind faith fall away from the climatology believers and fellow travelers as the would be elite tricks and machinations are exposed for the good of science and social conscience.
I look forward to the final release of the rest of the CRU emails and to the collapse of the Michael Mann rearguard defence of his publically funded ( read US Taxpayer) hide the data and bend the science to suit his agenda jaunt at your expense.
The other wish of course is the complete collapse of the IPCC charade and its defunding, which will possibly be the only thing that will save Australia from being the ultimate carbon lemmings as our economy shudders under that ultimate carbon nonsense.
Keep up the good work guys, the white hats will win when the black hats of climatology fall from protected grace!! The signs are there, let 2012 herald the event.
Personal thanks to Anthony and family.
The 100,000,000th visitor is not far away! Happy New Year to one and all, from NZ. Being in the future I can tell you it looks good.
I’d just like to add my thanks to you for the work you’re doing, and to wish you a happy new year. I feel that perhaps 2012 may see a breakthrough as the evidence against AGW builds and people start to wake up. It would be good to think so.
Not being all that gIib, I can only ditto all the praise and congrats being heaped on Anthony and all the contributors. May a good scotch tickle your tonsils, may a good man or woman be at your side, may your new year be a good one.
PS: this needs repeating – [REPLY: Happy New Year to you. Why put ice in drinks at all? -REP]
In a world of worthy plodders, WUWT prances, keeping the unacceptable truth about CAGW firmly in the public gaze. Anthony, how you have kept going with this in the face of all your tribulations is beyond my understanding. A happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous New Year to you and those who give up their free time to aid you.
Oops! Forgot about sending congratulations and thanks to FOIA. Hi there, and Happy New Year from your 31,000,000 fans! I’ll bet you read WUWT before you go to sleep at night (with a benevolent smile on your face). Sorry we can’t tip a little PayPal something into your jar as well, but I guess money isn’t what it’s about, is it?
We all owe you, mate. Big time.
I am amazed, at least once a week, by things I read here.
I am in wonder, daily, at the content and contented argument here that is moderated with such aplomb.
I thank my lucky stars, hourly, for Anthony’s wonderful reading room and the global community within.
Happy New Year one and all.
Happy new year one and all. My new year resolution should be to post more here, and stop wallowing in the cess pit that is CiF at The Guardian.
A special mention to FOIA, too.
Just want to add my congratulations and support to Anthony and helpers for a stirling job well done!
I subscribe to the WUWT email feed so as not to miss out on any new publications. This means I don’t use search engines to find out about this stuff anymore. I would be interested in the stats for email feeds if they can be published – just adds to the credibility of the power of WUWT to reach a growing audience. The MSM must be cringeing at the numbers – sooner or later they will be forced to take notice!
I look forward to much more lurking in 2012!
Happy New Year to you, Anthony, and to your family, for this indispensable site.
Happy New Year to you all, indefatigable mods – may your [remarks] keep flourishing!
Happy New Year to all you contributors – may your posts here turn into publications.
Happy New Year to all you posters/commenters, with grateful thanks for the extra education you provide, for the wit and humour, and for some great video links.
I am a serial lurker here, I don’t post because I am no scientist and could not possibly contribute to the conversation. But know this, I understand and appreciate what is being done here and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you one and all for your efforts.
Happy New Year
Scott
2011 was indeed a great year of robust debate and discussion on debunking the CAGW myth. Looking forward to the same in 2012.
Good health, happiness and success to everyone in 2012 and beyond.
Happy New Year to everyone here. And my thanks to Anthony and the moderators. This really is the best site on the web, and I contribute to the number of views several times a day personally, and tell everyone I can about it, too.
Best wishes to all for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!!
I visit and read it like a novel I can’t put down. So much so that I have been trying to read it on my smart phone this holiday break being away from such forms of technology that allows for computer use here. And typing has been a study in patience. I wish there were such an open forum for educators. And in such a form and apolitical acceptance that I would not feel compelled to hide my name. The freedom here is extroidinary. No matter the side u are on. My hunch is that climate research has been vastly informed by this effort. All my respect.

Be careful with claims like this. While there are a lot of visits to the site, most were probably repeat visits by a much smaller number of people. I visit almost every day, and sometimes multiple visits a day when I am discussing issue, so I have well over 300 visits per year. I would guess the actual number of different visitors may be less than 100,000. While this is still a huge number, it is far from 31,000,000.
Congratulations Anthony. Thanks to you, the mods, posters and comment makers for making this a great site. All the best in the coming year.

Jeez, Leonard, lighten up! Anthony never said there were 31,000,000 vistors, he specifically said “views.” The rest is just an illustration to give you an idea of the magnitude of that number.
That being said, Happy New Year, Leonard, and keep up the visits, I do the same thing, it has become a daily ritual for me.
Reason, Science, Humor, Open Debate–a winning combination for a science blog if there ever was one. Happy New Year to Anthony and his family, to the Mods who catch the ocassional uncivil remarks, to the Guest Posters who add variety and diverse points of view, and to the Commenters who keep everyone honest. Here’s hoping 2012 brings you all joy.
I’m still eagerly looking forward to the FIRST climategate 2.0 book! As well as the first expose of the 800 year lag between leading temp change and CO2 change in paleoclimatology.
Writing opps overlooked by science writers?
On behalf of Patchy, Mike, Phil, and Al, and the whole Team, I would just like to wish WUWT and all who contribute to it a bon voyage on your trip into space and to the denier hell where you all belong.
You and your stupid stinking facts and ridiculous demands for logic and evidence have caused severe delays in the implementation of our planetary salvation project – with no apparent consideration for the children or the threatened islanders, or anything else.
So now the climate will continue to change, and it is all your fault.
Sincerely,
Ernest Dupe

Where would we be now without WUWT? I shudder to think. Anthony, Al Gore and David Suzuki and their ilk must regularly curse you and the organized self-thinkers you (and others) support.
If not for your courage as well as the knowledge to challenge The Team (the big one, not just the Mann et al characters), we would be far down the rabbit hole by now. In terms of impact one’s life has, your contribution is very significant.
Congratulations, and all the best wishes for 2012.
P.S. Now that 4.5 billion didn’t die in 2011, are we on a death-watch for the end of the world 21-12-12? I have some ageing wine that I am thinking of drinking early.
WUWT operates in a sanity field. The rest of the world is barking mad. Thanks for everything, Anthony. Happy New Year.
Another BIG fan in Oz. Congratulations and best wishes to Anthony and his team.
Anthony-
I am more of a lurker on here and rarely post as I just read and learn every day. Your site is full of tremendous information and I love the passion of the people on here fighting against the the ideas that threaten out country. I thank you and the people on here for all you do to promote true science and most importanly HONEST science.. Thank you and Happy New Year!!!
