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

The tide has truly turned. Awesome work folks. Each of you have done a great service for science.

Wonder if Arianna would mind if I accepted on behalf of the Huffington Post.

February 26, 2012 7:41 pm

Wow! Well deserved for all of you, but especially the Lifetime Achievement Award! Very appropriate in the midst of the revelations of the ‘funding imbalance’ of warmists vs skeptics. Congratulations to all!

Congratulations Anthony. Something to be proud of and also to hold up to everyone that you deserve any aide that Heartland, or any other concerned organization, bequeaths to you for your work. You have more than earned that privilege.

Truthful, integrity, thoughtful Guest pieces, some humor, many thoughtful and knowledgeable comments, effective and thoughtful Moderators.
Congratulations for awards well deserved!!!
This is a very important subject. Trillions of dollars are at stake, The financial viability of many Western countries is at stake. A very curious abrupt change to the sun is underway. There has been and will be new data and papers to read and to discuss.
There has been significant progress in the definition and understanding of the key scientific and engineering issues.

Any word on when you can start using the new 2012 Bloggies Award badge, ribbon or emblem on the website?
Can we start the presses rolling on the tee-shirts, coffee cups and ball caps? ;))

Congratulations on a well deserved award. Next should be citizenship awards – as you should be at the top of the list. It is you and the other contributors on this site that I consider some of the leading model citizens of the 21st century. This blog really is more than just science. It is justice for science.

Definition of JUSTICE
2a : the quality of being just, impartial, or fair
3: conformity to truth, fact, or reason : correctness

I couldn’t be happier for Anthony Watts and all his team of magnificent moderators who make this blog what it is. This is no fluke. This is simply the BEST climate site out there. I also wish to extend congrats to JoNova, Stephen McIntyre and Roger the Tallbloke. This is a GOOD day. Anthony Watts pours a lot of himself into this blog and there’s a lot we owe him gratitude for. Well done, Mr. Watts!

Congrats too, to JoNova, Tallbloke and Climate Audit. Finally, science and ethics are winning.

Those were easy selections in each category, so it’s no surprise to me.
All richly deserve their day/year in the spotlight.
Please ignore the wailing in the AGW camp their pain will subside when the truth finally dawns on them.

Congrats to all and I agree with Mr Watts that the mods do a great job at keeping this site hospitible and ON TOPIC. You should have a “beverage for mods” button.
