This is just a heads up to watch on noon (PDT) Monday for a major announcement coming from WUWT.
The content of the announcement is TV related, and is interesting with the timing of Al Gore’s announcement about his sale of his Current TV channel, which has seen turmoil and lackluster ratings, much like his current views on global warming. More on that sale here.
It will be something all readers can participate in, and will be a “first”not only for WUWT, but also for skeptics in general.
Thanks for your patience and consideration. – Anthony Watts
Are you going to offer Mike Mann $5,000,000 to release his data?
Noon Monday? What time zone?
Its my 30th on 19 Nov will you please arrange Climategate 3 ? 😀
Are we going to get our own TV channel?!
[snip – policy -mod]
Releasing the CRN data compilation?
Anthony will buy Current TV and rename it WUWT-V!
/Mr Lynn
Three days is easily enough time to get a quick tan, hair style update, and work on our camera superpresence superpowers.
(No really, looking forward to this opportunity for WUWT.)
If that’s high noon will your intro feature Tex Ritter?
If you’re going to buy Current tv, will we be able to get it in the UK?
Anthony and Peter Gleick are having a two-headed love child on live TV??
Turning Current TV into a skeptic channel… That would be awsome!
I hate suspense. It makes me crazy.
Oops. On second thought, I forgot the ‘er. That is, it makes me crazi-er.
Kenji won a Nobel Prize? Is being sued by Michael Mann for assault?
Pingo says: “Its my 30th on 19 Nov will you please arrange Climategate 3 ? :D”
As I was scanning the comments, I read that as Climategate 3D. (The next dimension in dementia.)
PS: In case I forget on the 19th, Happy Birthday, Pingo.
(I’m thinking, Kenji cashing in on the reality TV craze, since Current TV is likely to be available for cheap)
Are you one of the new contestants on Dancing with the Stars?
Or maybe Hansen is? as Nobel celebrity, of course.
Whatever it is, and whatever you are working on, you have our support and our thanks, Anthony. We’ll be watching and cheering you on, and it sounds like we will cheer for our favorite expert skeptics, too.
Al Gore needs a new channel for his fearmongering. TV didn’t work.
He has convinced Anthony to sell WUWT to him.
Al will be introduced as the new owner on Monday.
On Tuesday Anthony will retire to his private island, and spend his time sipping Mai-tais while watching the oceans rise…
Teevee? I’ve heard of that. It’s like the Internet, only one way.
Aw shucks, I’m away in the depths of Argyll without internet access all week so I’ll miss it!
yer such a tease.
Are you buying CurrentTV?! Awesome, what’d you give for it $5? Did that include a stipulation that you have to deal with Olbermann and he’s out of Al’s hands?
It’s a new reality TV show for the History Channel called: Climate (Pawn) Stars
Featuring: Gavin Schmidt as “Rick”, Tom Karl as “Corey”, Mike Mann as “Chumlee”, and Jim Hansen as “The Old Man”

Customer: “I’m visiting the climate stars today to sell my vintage minmax thermometer. I got it from an old NOAA climate monitoring station in a parking lot in Arizona, and just wanted to get some money for gambling in Vegas.”
Rick: “SO what do we have here?? Looks like an old Sperry V134C mix-max climate thermometer!”
Customer: “Yup.”
Chumlee: “What’s a thermometer?”
Old Man: “Dammit Chumlee! Get back to sweeping the *&#^$(* floor!!”
Rick: “They only made about 137 of these in 1934 before they were replaced by the model V135X, and…”
Corey: “Aww Dad…yer such a know-it-all. Dude – how much are you lookin’ to get out of it?”
Customer: “Ehhh..$300??”
[Hysterical laughter]
Rick: “Yeah – right! Look, this thing has been beat to crap in a hot parking lot for 5 decades. You know, I hope they weren’t using it to make climate measurements…”
Customer: “Uhhhhh…”
Rick: “Look, man, I’ll give you 50 bucks for it.”
Customer: “I wanted to play the slots tonight and get a good meal – $100.”
Rick: “75 bucks and not a dime more…”
Customer: “Mmmmmmm…OK.”
[handshake]
Rick: “Go write him up, Chumlee…”
Chumlee: “OK dude…over here…Ooooppps!!”
[Sound of breaking glass…]
Old Man: “Chumlee, you *&^&^*. Yer working the night shift!”

Tune in again for another episode of Climate (Pawn) Stars!!
Sounds like Australia will have to wait until Tuesday.. 😉
Are you going to offer Mike Mann $5,000,000 to release his data?
Perhaps one could accept the data if it were accompanied with a payment of $5,000,000 — it needs a little adjustment and that can take time and money…
