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
If I were a betting man, which I am not.
I would bet we will find Anthony at the top of the Chesapeake bay in a kayak measuring the water compression value of an extra tropical / hybrid storm surge in an upwind bay environment as a storm chaser…….
What else could it be?
Watts on your mind?
D Boehm says:
Priceless…That post completely summarizes your selective skepticism! You are skeptical of people who you disagree with and believe anything that someone who you like, such as Steve McIntyre, says! That’s what “skepticism” has come to apparently!
Oh, and by the way, I think you will find that even Steve McIntyre has admitted that Mann released all the necessary information for that paper. (Many years ago, Mann also released the programs for his now-14-year-old 1998 paper, although last I heard, McIntyre still does complain about wanting one obscure subroutine from Mann’s now-14-year-old 1998 paper.) Meanwhile, all I hear about from folks about when I ask when we’ll see even ***ONE*** line of code from Spencer and Christy is the sound of crickets chirping!
You’re all wrong, I know the real secret.
Anthony has discovered close up video footage of San Francisco’s victory over the Detroit Tigers in game one of the World Series. The video shows that those three home runs were NOT hit by Pablo Sandoval at all. They were hit by Michael Mann!
Perhaps my wish will come true that the great John Coleman is joining forces with Anthony Watts, Joe Bastardi, Joe D’Aleo and Ryan Maue to form a professional replacement for the god-forsaken Weather Channel.
My guess is: Anthony is going to go VIP on WordPress so he can choose his own format and get his own advertising revenue to pay for it and cover (partially) his own expenses of time and materials to keep the site going.
This weekend I vote. Looking forward to noon-Monday.
Whenever you make such an announcement the Prozac sales go through the roof!
Can’t wait Anthony, that means it will be about 11 pm our time in Oz. Best of luck, mate.
Once again, I shall await the announcement with bated breath, holding in my CO2 as long as possible.
Climate porn on cable?
In the UK I will wait for Tuesday. We go back to good old GMT at 0200 Sunday morning so an extra hour in bed, as if I needed that.

“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. :)”
Hey, it works for the Donald.
Nah! I think Ya’ll got it wrong . . . .
They are considering giving WUWT 5,000,000 to take current TV off their hands cause Al Gore comes with it.
Off the subject, but since you mentioned D. Trump,– he is in the process of buying the old United States Post Office Building in D. C., and turning it into a luxury hotel. Not that anybody cares.

Maybe?
Something to look forward to on Monday!
Anthony just loves torturing his readers.
You’re a cruel man, Anthony. Cruel.
66 F ain’t that hot, 18 C? But where is Alaska on the Map? Or did I miss it. Or Hawaii?
Anthony Watts and Michael Mann will be staring in the 21st Century version of “The Odd Couple.” This is the story of two scientists: Tony (played by Anthony), a precise practitioner of the scientific method, having to live with Felix (played by Michael), a sloppy climatologist who uses his knowledge of scientific jargon to spread propaganda to get the government to fund his research.
Episode one begins With Felix misplacing his Nobel Prize. . .
I’m no expert in press releases, but if WUWT announces any bit of news, as important as it may be, while a hurricane bears down on the Northeast corridor threatening a several foot storm surge at high tide, will anybody hear the press release?
And by the time the power (and Al Gore’s Internet) return your press release will be old news. Any chance you’ll be delaying this by a week?

Do you have a sense of humor, or was it surgically removed?
beng says:
Oh yes…I often find the commentary here to be extremely humorous, although perhaps not quite in the way that it was intended.
So are you saying that Pull My Finger was being intentionally humorous by making a joke about Mann releasing data because he knew that in fact Mann had released much more data than some of the people revered around here like Spencer and Christy?
I’ll steal Anthony’s thunder. I’m Foia. And on Monday, I’ll announce that I will NOT be making any TV appearances–or disappearances–in the foreseeable future. 🙂
