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
Looking forward to it Anthony.
By the way, has everyone noticed the total lack of global warming discussion in the presidential campaign? Big Bird has been discussed more. That speaks volumes about what the public here in the U.S. thinks about the issue…

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”…….
Nicely done!
My name is Vince McMahon, and welcome to tonights MAAIIINNN EVENT. Let me introduce to you the newest challengers for the WWE world tag team title, none other than Anthony “THE SUUUUUUPPPERRRRRRDENIER” Watts, and Steve “THE SUPPPPERNUUMMMMMMERATOR” McIntyre. They will challenge the undefeated, untied, untruthful, and reigning World Champions Al “THE BLOOOVVVVIATOR” Gore and Mike “THE FABBBBBBBRICATOR” Mann in a no holds barred, anything goes championship match. Not only that, tonights winners will become the new owners of none other than their own TV network, CURRRRRENTTEEEVEEE. But before we commence tonight’s main event, I need to thank our most prestigious advertiser, solely responsible for our show tonight, the CLIMATE SCIENCE LEGAL DEFENSE TEAM. Let the ruckus begin.

A meteor shower will be raining green Kryptonite upon the heads of Supermandia and Michael Mann.
So those big oil companies have finally paid-up and your going to buy a TV company. Which oil company?

Mr Watts is becomming a bit of a tease. This is his second annoucement of an upcomming announcement.
My guess is that Monday’s announcment will be about an announcment to be made next Friday. 🙂
At least the announcment will materialize before the prognosticated AGW and multi-feet sea level rise.
You cracked the Climategate3 FOIA password?
Anthony Watts vs. Gavin Schmidt on Celebrity Deathmatch?
A remake. Fawlty Towers, Climate version.
All revelations affecting the Obama Administration are automatically deferred until after the November election, doncha know.
“If Current TV misses the audience benchmark in two consecutive quarters, another clause is triggered that would allow Time Warner Cable to drop the channel. The condition was built into the most recent distribution pact between the two parties, which was signed in 2010.”

If the Current TV audience is not large enough to be rated by Neilson and has failed to meet Nielson’s minimum standard perhaps Time Warner Cable will decide to drop Current TV. That would be the end for Gore TV.
and the beginning of cable station WUWT.
Tme for a visit to the tip jar….
WUWT is coming out with its own line of popcorn.
free weather stations for everyone?
wow you ROCK 🙂
thanks man !!
🙂 🙂
Anthony,
You ARE such a tease . . . . . : )
Two guesses:
Guess #1 – you are going to crowd source the investigation of a Monday CG3 debut
Guess #2 – you are going from a Ripley’s ‘Believe it or Not’ record by having all your fans do the Macarena simultaneously. http://macarena.com/
Both would be fun.

Richard Muller, previously a former-sceptic, will announce he is starring in a new TV reality show with Anthony.
Homeland security investigating climate gate emails ?
You and Al should arm wrestle on live TV!
Heartland Institute purchases Current TV and install Anthony as it’s CEO..
What a coup!! (Or as our president would pronounce it, What a koop…)
Pull My Finger says:
That would be a colossal waste of money, since you can already get it here: http://www.meteo.psu.edu/holocene/public_html/supplements/MultiproxyMeans07/
…But maybe Anthony will put up $5 million to get Roy Spencer and John Christy to release their code?
Sorry to ruin it for your folks, but Anthony is going to announce that he will finally stop using “here’s” and “there’s” when he actually means “here are” and “there are”. Will definitely be a first for lots of folks!
It’s a joke son!
joelshore,
I will accept that Mann has posted all of his data, methods, metadata, code, and methodologies online, as soon as Steve McIntyre acknowledges that he has done so completely and transparently.
Until then, I am naturally skeptical of your assertions.
