Top 100 Science Blogs Winners
CONGRATULATIONS to every blogger that has made this Top Science blogs list! This is the most comprehensive list of best Science blogs on the internet and I’m honoured to have you as part of this! I personally give you a high-five and want to thank you for your contribution to this world.
If your blog is one of the Top 100 Science blogs, you have the honour of displaying the following badge on your site. Use the below code to display this badge proudly on your blog. You deserve it!:
WUWT comes in at #41 out of 100, handily beating The Guardian Science at #46, The New York Times Science at #47, Huffington Post Science at #48, Smithsonian Science at #51, and RealClimate at #62.
Notably absent are the attack sites, such as John Cook’s “Skeptical Science”, Tamino’s “Open Mind”, and Sou’s aka Miriam O’Brien’s “HotWhopper” dungeon of anonymous haters.
Of course, now the caterwauling starts, because we just can’t have this. There will likely begin a behind the scenes campaign to get WUWT removed, even though the website says:
Ready to challenge your own scientific perceptions?
Which, is what we do here on a regular basis, and some people just can’t tolerate that.
{added}
Of course, I could not do this alone. If it were not for the dozens of people who help with guest posts and moderation, and the thousands of readers, WUWT wouldn’t have the presence it does. My thanks to you all!

This even beats a fake Nobel Prize!
LOL, so true.
The Nobel Peace Prize, awarded out of Norway, is surely a joke now when it was given out in the absence of any accomplishment. At least Al Gore and the IPCC had to at least accomplish something, even if it was merely false propaganda.
Obama’s award of the Peace Prize, in the absence of any accomplishment, surely was, and always will be, an embarrassment to the larger Nobel community.
Worst of all, it was a travesty to those who past recipients actually deserved it. Anyone with a clear sense of decency and a conscience would have declined the award in those circumstances. Obama of course doesn’t, and he did accept it.
Joel, maybe the Norwegian socialists will take it back now that he has sent another 600 combat troops to Iraq. After all, they said the award was a “stick in the eye” to G. Bush for sending troops to Iraq.
They were probably just so happy when Bush left.
Eight years from now when Trump leaves, I don’t know what the Nobel committee will do. Two Nobel prizes for the next president?
The Nobel committee is more than willing to turn its guns on America.
On a happier note … Congratulations Anthony your hard work and wisdom is greatly appreciated. Your site has gathered an awesome community, mostly because of you.
“Joel, maybe the Norwegian socialists will take it back now that he has sent another 600 combat troops to Iraq”
Nah – they have a work-backwards-from-a-conclusion, built-in excuse – they simply blame Bush for the whole thing.
Just for the record, I’m not a Bush fan – to my eye, anyway, Iraq should have been no greater than the third or fourth priority in the region – it was a hornet’s nest that needed cleaned-up for a long time (something conveniently forgotten by modern-day pundits), but not the primary focus. After 911, however, Bush jerked the wheel to draw attention off the Saudis… BUT, Obama turned it into a torch that lit the entire region on fire… much, MUCH worse. We at least had a bastion in the region that was stable but… well, this is what happens when you elect a leader who prioritizes pretty much anything that destabilizes the country he’s in charge of leading.
I’m confused the BlogSpot chap says “one of top 100” so what’s with the #41 ?
Who dat other 40 ? or is WUWT ##1 ?
We all know WUWT is ##1

Dear Mr. Smith,
To answer your question (a good one!), WUWT is, in that contest, #41 out of 100. If you would like to see the names of the sites which came in ##1-40, click on the links in the above article in brown “ink.” You will Discover that many of them publish twice as many articles as WUWT also, that they are often NON-Scientific American AGW propaganda publications (thus, mainstream media refers to them, not WUWT, in their articles, directing traffic their way).
Yes, indeed, WUWT is the best!
Thank you for writing. We “librarians” (lots of us, here at WUWT 🙂 ) are always glad to help.
Yours sincerely,
Janice Moore
So like the Nobel Prize does that mean that all contributors and commentators can formally state that the “have been awarded the Top 100 Science Blog” award? 😉
Alan, just don’t hurt your shoulder patting yourself on the back. Mann and the rest of that crew did enough of that stuff.
Seriously, though, a Norwegian socialist peace prize is the kiss of death to real thinkers and doers.
Priceless!
Well done Anthony……again
thanks for all you do.
I concur – and offer congratulations!
And, if I may, my appreciation.
Auto
Well done Anthony and all the mods and contributors!
Congratulations, Anthony Watts!
What he said! Congrats Anthony and team!
My friend, there is absolutely no one who deserves this accolade more than yourself.
My very best to you,
w.
And you too Willis. You have been an important part of WUWT for many years.
I second that.
+1
+ 100.regarding both Anthony and Willis.

/Mr Lynn
Fully agreed!
Congratulations to all who did most of the work: Anthony, the Mods, the regular contributors…
And let’s not forget Bob Tisdale.
Never, never, never ever forget Bob!
All you need do to destroy an alarmist, especially an Ackroyd, is refer to:

They will scream and cry, but you can just go onto more links at that current site.
Be sure to massage his tip jar!

Congratulations, Anthony. Well deserved.
Congratulations Anthony!! Well deserved!!
Note that the L A Times is not even listed – too much climate alarmist propaganda and censorship of fact based climate science unsupportive of the papers climate fear propaganda.
Congrats Anthony and the passionate and dedicated team at WUWT 🏅🏅🏅
Well, it was never in doubt! 🙂
Cheers to Anthony, WUWT, Willis, authors, mods, and to Anuj Agarwal and the voters there.
The pundits who denounce WUWT as trivial and inaccurate have just been proven wrong. Again.
Congratulations. This site is a beacon of sense in a world of misinformation.
Congratulations Anthony, contributing authors, mods, and commenters. Well deserved.
My thanks and heartfelt congratulations to you, Anthony! WUWT is a beacon in a confused world. I only hope more can see the light by coming here.
There’s a 97% consensus that this is very much deserved. Thank you and congrats !
Pete, there is 100 % consensus! Congrats, Anthony and to your “crew” and all the posters that have made this a ( sometimes more than once) a daily joy to many!
And that’s the consensus in all 57 States of the USA !
G
Well deserved recognition! Thank you for seeking the truth rather than consensus!
And then on the next page the guy tells you to send your bank account info in order to receive the “prize”!
Actually, no. There’s nothing like that, read for yourself: http://blog.feedspot.com/science_blogs/
Anthony, ignore the climate blog gunslingers. Thank you for a (continuing) job well done in combating climate propaganda.
The little guy CAN win!

I wondered the same thing, but i’ve seen zero evidence of Feedspot ever pulling that scam. The worst they’ve done is the common social media trick of spamming your contact list if you let them link to it when you sign onto their RSS. Probably not relevant, here. Their initial registry was 2004, so they’ve been around for a while.
Well deserved. Thanks to all of you at WUWT that have made this blog so informative it is maintained on so many peoples favorite places, who like me visit it frequently.
So they used mass statistic data from Google, Facebook and Twitter to conclude that WUWT is awesome? Well, that’s what I call *actual*, real-world consensus, sir!
Congratulations Anthony, and to all who post and moderate.
Congrats Anthony! I’m on your site every day. Thank you, you’ve had hard times this year. This a sign of “blessings” to come now.

Yeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaawwwwwwww!!!
Happy dance time!!!
(Hamster Dance Song – youtube)
CONGRATULATIONS, Anthony, mods, article writers, and all the WUWT science giants!
For once, observations triumphed over simulations!!!
Good one Janice! I was waiting to see what you would post…
Congratulations Anthony, and to all the great article posters!
Thank you, J.P.! #(:))
Congratulations! Here’s hoping you keep the pedal to the medal, so to speak.
Congrats Anthony. I was a bit concerned that there might be questionable sites listed on there…. and then you mentioned five of them in the second paragraph, so I knew I was right!
Congrats Anthony! Your story of sincere skepticism of the narrative; your relentless pursuit of the truth; and your dedicated commitment to sharing and educating (via this blog) are a humbling reminder to all of us that our individual contributions do matter, and can make a profound difference. Here’s a personal thank you for providing the forum that’s helped educate and enlighten me in so many fascinating ways!
