WUWT is very cool guys – well played. We appreciate the massive amount of work put into it by you all.
Thanks for the picture. It is so much easier to communicate with people after you have met them. While seeing what they look like is not like meeting people face to face it is better than nothing.
Leif and Willis look much better than I expected. I will try to be nicer to them in future.
Thank all of you, and I mean all of you for your contributions to the people.
Thanks everyone. Regarding women: Verity Jones, in England, could not be present. Please make a habit of visiting her blog “Digging in the Clay“.
Likewise others, in New Zealand (Andi), and parts of the USA/World (Robert, Ric, Mike and Bob) could not attend. As always, my sincere thanks.
Marvellous bunch. You realize, of course, that there might be a luminary spot in history for team WUWT, after the teetering bastions of alarmism slide into obscurity. Go get ’em, people. Thanks for your hard work, and laudable tolerance of the Troll Faction. I doubt I’d be so forgiving, somehow.
Go Team WUWT…
What a magnificent team. Handsome, too!☺
Heroes to a man. And woman.
Was that really left to right, or did you mean clockwise?

Great stuff. And, all of a sudden, 110 million hits…
From a long time reader. I thank all of you for the Education.

On her side she had an article about the claim by Nikolov & Zeller that planetary surface temperatures can be calculated accurately if pressure and TSI (Total Solar Irradiance) are known. http://diggingintheclay.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/unified-theory-of-climate/#more-2983
I support this idea
ps Did you all fit in the same electric car and who was the driver after all that wine.
Now that’s what I call an open thread weekend…
You all certainly look to be living it up on those ‘big oil’ sponsored salaries of yours. La dee dah!
What, no ladies?
Something for the team to dissect (when they sober up and get back to work)
It looks as the
Svensmark is confirmed by the last Forbush decrease.

Nice to see you, guys! Where was the meeting? There is no information about it 😉

It is the blog equivalent of a hobbit’s eleventy-first birthday!
Wonderful, great to see a photo of the WUWT team of alarmist fighters. Dr. Leif Svalgaard looks like a “fighting Viking” I bet the warmists are scared to death of him? Good work guys/lady, keep it up, we will beat the bastards soon. 🙂
Ah! the face of Big-Oil-funded Climate Skepticism is revealed at last!
May the Alarmists shiver in their beds at night (from the cold, of course, not fear…)
This was a great gesture on all your parts to show not only those of us who can’t get by without a daily (sometimes four times a day) dose of WUWT, some like me over a sustained period of years, but to newbies keen to put a face to a name.
Funny thing is, probably because I grew up in an age here in New Zealand before television, that I enjoy the little game of imagining a name to a voice, in this case electronic. Like others here I somehow imagined Leif as a young thirty something hotshot solar physcist but wasn’t surprised to see ‘global warming’ framing his smile. I was totally convinced that Willis would show more signs of the journey he has travelled on and shared with us on so many occasions. Ryan Maue’s site is on my hit list when I am planning anything astronomical and we greatly appreciate his efforts.
Sometimes I like to kid myself that I am busy when I am trying to apply myself in my day job and being in high positions on four different clubs/societies (3 astronomical and one sporting) until I consider all of the work that Anthony and his team of contributors and moderators put out. It isn’t surprising that the other people are convinced that this whole set-up is funded by big oil or whatever. As an amateur astronomer I can easily see where big money doesn’t fit into this mix (not that you would want to turn it away if it ever darkened your doorstep team). By definition an amateur is not just someone who is doing something without recompense, but more importantly they are doing something for love! From the smiles on the dials in the photo above I can see nothing but love.
Kia Kaha (be strong) my heroes!
Cheers
Coops
Having been interested in wine for a long time, I deduce from the picture that a bottle of very fine wine had just been poured by a knowledgeable sommelier (equal and quite small quantities of a wine with very good colour). I would guess that it is a fine Californian Cabernet, but I could be very wrong on that!
[Anthony brought the wine, then beat down the maitre’d on the corkage charge. ~dbs]
Enjoy the break and thanks to the fort holders (Mods)
I see Willis hitched a ride in time to make it before mains were served.
Well done fellas, keep up the good work.
Ah, their you have spent your weekend! More than deserved, thanks to all mods for the hard work!
A BIG thanks to Anthony and The Mods! (Doo-wop, doo-wa–a-a-h…)
