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

Oh wow! Congrats to everybody! And ‘Lifetime Achievement’. I remember foolishly asking whether WUWT was eligible, and now the Winnuh and Champeen.
Do you have to make a speech, like Gwyneth Paltrow at the Oscars. “I’d like to thank my cat..”
Congrats again to Anthony and everyone. The truth will out!

February 27, 2012 2:31 am

Congratulations Anthony, your excellent work for climate science is widely recognised!

Congratulations. Well done. Thoroughly deserved.
Keep up the fight for truth: is it not the Truth that sets us free?

February 27, 2012 2:34 am

More power to your elbow!

Congratulations from Sweden! I was never skeptic about your chances, nor about Tallbloke or McIntyre!
I voted for ACM, but I’m just as happy for Jo!

Nothing but grinning here in Bendigo. Well done Jo and Anthony, and kudos to the moderators and all that keep the machine running that gets the word out. Truth will prevail. The job is more than half done. 🙂

Chuffed to rocks for you Anthony!! But I’d like to offer some consolatory applause to the Bishop, whose day must surely come soon.

Congratulations, The Defenders of Science Triumph – You’re going to have to get some spandex outfits!!!
Feynman would be proud!

Congratulations all round – what excellent results. As for the ‘lifetime Achievement’ award – wow.

Magnificent! Congrats to Anthony and all!

Excellent. I complained to the BBC recently about Richrd Black’s bias against WUWT in his Fakegate coveraeg. Inmy complaint Ireferred to your blog as winner of the Science Blog of the year. So glad it’s still true as the BBc would probably use the sophistic case of “out of date” to avoid honesty.
A reminder of my complaint of the 16th Februaruy 2012 (for which I’ve had no reply yet):
“The article was biased by way of selective reporting.
Richard Black refused to report on Climategate until the story was cold as he was unsure of the providence of the leaked emails. This was quite justifiable.
However, in this story the documents were stolen and at least one was fabricated. Again his established procedure would be proven to be justified. Yet he abandoned that practise.
To avoid bias (and fulfil his duty as a journalist) he should have checked his sources and consulted with DeSmog Blog, Heartland Institute and Watts Up With That. He did not do those things.
Instead he misled his readership in order to disparage a competitor’s website (Watts Up With That). This is a clear bias against the winner of the Science Blog of the Year. As a less lauded science and environment blogger himself the motivation is suspect.”

Good lord, you people don’t half love a consensus when it suits you….

Great results tonight, 4 out of 4.
Now, we just have to await the Team’s adjustments to this raw data to arrive at the real results 😉
Anthony – You are doing this, and subsequent generations a outstanding service. We owe you a debt of gratitude. Thank you.

Only when no-one’s going to tax me into unjustifiable poverty because of it, Mary 🙂
Well done to every voice of reason out there, and especially those who placed last night – proving once and for all that reason CAN be heard over the obfuscating bluster and that that eventually people recognise it when they do hear it 🙂

Congrats to Anthony Watts.
The Main Stream Media(MSM) are quietly and unknown to them being replaced by the Main Stream Internet(MSI).
WUWT is the leading MSI science site on the net. Hopefully, in years to come Anthony will get the opportunity to move deeper into the other fields of science.

Congrats to the winners, and especially to Anthony for his Lifetime Achievement Award

Heartfelt congratulations to Anthony, Steve McIntyre, Tallbloke, and JoNova. The awards were richly deserved for all your tireless work. Thanks too to the moderators whose light touch in this “warzone”, is what makes WUWT the wonderful place that it is.
What is really gratifying is to see that truth and fairness on its own can trump the billions of dollars, the lies, the deceit, and in some cases, the outright fraud of the misanthropes. In the years to come, there will be morality tales written about this.

February 27, 2012 4:09 am

Wow! A clean sweep for climate realism (don’t let the alarmists steal the term ‘realist’)! Congrats, Anthony and company.
Now the question is: When are the so-called ‘journalists’ (= reporters with an agenda, I guess) going to wake up and realize that the Warmist ideology was a complete scam.
Answer: When the ‘journalists’ retire, and real reporters take their places.

Congrats, although I thought the awards would mostly go to Big Oily Green funded PR blogs for their astute understanding of science communication. :p
