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

Congratulations to all the skeptics who won. Every one well deserved and I’m proud to have voted for every one of you. You guys and gals beat up the warmists every day with truth and integrity. If they’re truly trying to find the missing hotspot they only need to read you. That’s where they could finally find positive feedback.

I am rushing over to dotearth to see how Andy Revkin frames this one. I’ll bet a case of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or IPA that there will be no acknowledgement there.

Congratulations, Anthony, on winning the Lifetime Achievement and the Best Science or Technology Weblog awards.
Great to see Jo Nova and Tallbloke win, too!
The tide toward skeptical science is definitely turning!

Wow, congratulation! The fight is far from over, but thanks for keeping us all informed. I can’t say enough good things about your blog!

Congratulations to Anthony and the WUWT moderators! An almost perfect result, with only the timing of the celebratory fireworks slightly off. (Dr. Gleick may have self destructed a little early..)

Is that the sound of AGW Control Freaks heads exploding? I think it is…

I haven’t won my case of beer yet but no acknowledgement at dotearth as of this post. I posted the following just to be sure that Mr. Revkin didn’t miss that announcement. It is in moderation.
“Partly OT but should fall under the rubric of communicating climate science albeit with appropriate skepticism. The 2012 Weblogs awards have just been announced. The winners in their categories are Jo Nova of Australia, Steve McIntyre of Canada, Roger Tatersall of the U.K. and Anthony Watts of the U.S.”

Well deserved Anthony, congratulations

February 26, 2012 9:39 pm

Grats to you and all of the other winners you do us all a service that will only really be understood by history where you will stand tall.

SKEPTIC CLEAN SWEEP — WUWT?! Congratulations!

So. I’m just wandering around the web and find myself checking weather reports. Second to last place before arriving here was at Ambler, AK. Second commenter here is Harold Ambler. Coincidence? I think not!
It’s just weather: Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around -23. Wind chill values as low as -46.

February 26, 2012 9:44 pm

Well Done, Anthony, all Moderators. Thanks to all Contributors for making WUWT a place often visited.
Google, take your “Global Warming” page 23+ ranking for WUWT and shove it in the bit bucket. It reflects more on Google’s business practices than anything else.

Congratulations Anthony !
What are you going to do with the prize money ?
REPLY: There’s prize money? News to me. – Anthony

Congratulations Anthony. With all the leftists in Chico doing all they can to make our town a joke, it’s good to know you are out there helping to make us looking good by countering their junk science with the truth.
Again congratulations on winning the Webby.

Jo, Steve and Anthony – in no small way you have changed my life. Thank you for “wiseing” me up on CAGW-Climate Change and all lthe “nice” people connected to it. I spread the news too because many people haven’t got a clue what’s going on.

February 26, 2012 9:58 pm

Come to think of it, I have no idea about who won what at the Oscars. No interest.
These WebLog awards, I personally care about.
How many other people here have the same perspective?

HeHe. Joe Romm’s head just exploded. ALL of you have been justifably awarded for your efforts. A sincere thank you for what what you do.

Congratulations to all the winners, you have deserved every one of them…

Massive congrats, Mr. Watts, and to Steve, Jo, and Roger.
I do not remember the exact year I discovered this site, but I have been reading almost every day for many many years. I think I started around the time your surface stations project was really starting to get going. I have learned about countless and an endless variety of subjects.
I know for a fact that you are becoming quite effective, because I see quite a bit of vitriol directed at you world wide in comments about climate articles that you are not even a part of. Your name is used in vain quite frequently, and I cannot even image the emails you receive. You, sir, are a patriot. Next time I am in Chico, I would be humbled, and honored, if you would allow me to buy you a beer.

Congratulations Anthony … and to all other winners like Steve. Well deserved.
Was surprised that The Suzuki Foundation did not make a showing for Best Religion or Spirituality Weblog. He probably was disallowed because of his fraudulent Christmas ad campaign. ☺

Intelligent, Educated, Georgous and now a Prize Winner and Australian. How can it get any better than that? 😉

Nick, you made me blush until I realized you weren’t talking about me. 🙂

What! No Joe Romm?? I’m shocked I tell you!
Oh wait, his blog falls under the category “hard, acerbic politics”.
There, he wins that. Baghdad Romm!
