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:

Congratulations to Anthony and all the Skeptical blogs for winning tonight! Excellent work! For once, every site I voted for won! Yeah!
I predict, that this will cause a major conniption on the part of the AGW Team! One can only image what Peter Gleick will do, when he hears about this. Maybe, we’ll even get to see SuperMandia from the Climate Science Rapid Response Team, in action. (I love his outfit, especially the waders! — http://wattsupwiththat.com/2011/11/23/supermandia-and-the-most-supersilly-climategate-rebuttal-ever/ )
PS. I used the double-dash and extra commas to “honor” Gleick. 🙂

My hearty congratulations to Roger Tallbloke, Jo Nova, Steve McIntyre, and most of all, Anthony. I commented on another site recently:

So I can understand the outrage of the AGW supporters. After all, Greenpeace and Gore are spending the big money, plus the governments are putting in billions to push the AGW hypothesis, and what are they getting for it? Sweet fanny adams. Meanwhile, a rag-tag pick-up team of bloggers and renegade scientists like myself plus a few bucks from Heartland are giving them fits, enough so that Gleick throws away his career looking for the secret that he thinks will explain how we are doing it … so I can sympathize with their frustration. But there is no secret to our success, just good, transparent, honest science.

My best to the winners, the sand-lot pickup team that has managed to sweep the prizes.

Well I think, I will just go and drink a beer to you Anthony Watts; after all, is not Beer’s Law , a key piece of the theoretical science gone rong, that we discuss openly here. Your efforts, and that of the site survey field volunteers, shows how peanuts budgets can outdo megabucks grants, when the aim is to just get at the facts, where they are found. Good show Anthony, and cheers Mate to Jo Nova, and to you too Tallbloke.

February 26, 2012 6:36 pm

Well done. The best blogs clearly won.

February 26, 2012 6:37 pm

Congratulations to Anthony, Joanne, and the other winners!
And thank you all for your great service to the online community in raising awareness of the sceptics’ point of view of the years.
Great job!
Paul.

Congratulations, Anthony; and thank you once again for doing all you do (and for doing it with class and integrity).

WOW! Congratulations to all!
The only question that remains is: will the virtual army of doom and gloom spinners ignore the results – or will they launch a “barrage of intergalactic ballistic missiles” [h/t, IPCC-nik, Andrew Weaver] designed to drown out the parade with torrents of fact-free whines!

February 26, 2012 6:57 pm

Mr Watts and Mr McIntyre, you deserve your awards. Lots of hard work, excellent judgement and sacrifice of time.
Congratulations.
