It was a tough call in Australia, because we also like Simon at Australian Climate Madness too. Maybe next year.

Tallbloke stands tall!

McIntyre – Oh Canada!

Ice cube survives in hell, film at 11…

Look at the competition – these are no small potatoes:

95 minutes from now:( 5:50 PM ) we’ll know if WUWT wins Lifetime achievement. Given the major players WUWT was up against in Sci/Tech I’m happy now just the way it is.

UPDATE: 7:30PM

Speechless, I am:

Skeptic blogs win every category they were nominated in, a clean sweep.

My sincere thanks to everyone, and especially the moderation team, who works tirelessly to keep a good experience going here. – Anthony

It is both great and sad at the same time. It is wonderful that Anthony won both the Science and Lifetime achievement awards. But it is sad as this represents his third win in the science category. According to the Bloggies rules, that means WUWT can no longer be nominated, and the Lifetime Achievement award is a one time only award. That probably means WUWT is no longer eligible for recognition.
REPLY: Correction. The 2008 award on my sidebar was a different awards program, now defunct. So WUWT is eligible for one more nomination in the Sci/Tech category next year. On the Lifetime Achievement, you are correct. – Anthony

I’d like to say well done to everyone who took the time to vote, and what a fantastic job a real science blog can do for everyone who likes to ask questions.

Is there an award for least-often updated blog? Please?

Congratulations to all!
“I am troubled by the absence of congrats from folks like Joel Shore, R. Gates, Connolly, LT, A phizzer-cist.” I, too, am troubled but not surprised: it’s in their blood to be sour.
We must use this resounding success to build on winning (at least some in) the MSM over to rational, real and honest science. Only then will we be able to start on the politicians (apart from Canada, of course).

Congratulations and thanks to Anthony, Jo, and Tallbloke!

To be fair Connolly has been on a timeout 🙂

If so, then I’ll probably win! 🙂
I set one up many years ago and then never remembered (bothered?) to update it. It fact, I actually forgot what I called it. Oh well…

Well done Anthony, his team of moderators, contributors and all you open minded folk out there who make this such an important site.
Has Joe Romm’s head exploded yet?

February 27, 2012 9:29 am

Congratulations everyone! Was this the feared “climate tipping point”? : -)

This deserves Sticky Status! Congrats to all!

While many of us would feel the same about the sticky status, I have an inkling that Anthony is not the type of person to blow his own horn on this matter. Plus, the Gleick-gate issue needs to remain the in the spotlight. Professionalism from Anthony & Co.

Congratulations to all. Question to Dr. Gleick: “Don’t the latest Weblog Award results prove that the debate you so vocally claim you want while simultaneously avoiding it at all cost is alive and well on the skeptic AGW science blogs?”

Hey, obviously this is totally rigged to favor skeptics.
Shouldn’t we have some bottom of the pond scum awards for the warmist?

February 27, 2012 9:40 am

Congratulations Anthony, Steve, Tallbloke and JoNova!!
I have been reading (and sometimes commenting) WUWT for almost exactly 4 years now, and clearly these awards are extremely well deserved, well done! I also think Bishop Hill needs a mention, as in many ways this is a group effort to get the truth out.
Many thanks to all of you. I no longer read newspapers in the morning, because the blogs are much more informative. May you live a long and happy life!

Congratulations to all including the missus, the moderators and the feline.
