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.

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!

Thank you for keeping up a voice of reason. Great work!
How the heck did Scientific American get #3? They’ve gone so far downhill from the 1980s. I haven’t looked at their stuff in years. They must be what Popular Science used to be…
That’s what you get by carefully avoiding any equations.
That will be the Warmist argument: “Why is WUWT in this list with SA and NG? They don’t know anything about hyping propaganda! This is a never-before seen, unprecedented outrage!”
Congrats! Of course we all already knew this!
Congratulations and thank you to Anthony and all who contribute as well as those who read the excellent posts here! What a great service you all provide!
How does this happen when this site discusses many elements of science that disagree with the often used “97%” number of the mainstream climate scientists.
That’s clearly because the alternate universe’s manufactured 97% is not an authentic representation of science today but you, Anthony are seen as being dedicated to authentic (often skeptical) science and the scientific method.
Congrats on being recognized with this well deserved award!
Congratulations, Anthony. Well deserved.
And congrats to others that help make this the “go to” site for authentic climate science as well as the many other scientific topics of interest.
This a well deserved recognition. The standards and moderation are one of the strengths of this blog.
Nice Job! Bravo to all involved!
Another important thought–Smart people know that no matter how hard it is to go against the flow, you are less likely to be washed away.. But keep the life jacket handy!
Congratulations Anthony. You are a true bright spot in the world of lies. You let them expose themselves for all to see. Kudos also to your contributors and commentators.
Congratulations Anthony, very well deserved.
WUWT . . . an island of sanity and reasoned thought in a sea of ignorance. Congratulations to Anthony and to all who make this website the indispensable resource that it is (especially the fact that it freely allows posting and discussions of antithetical positions on various topics).
Well-deserved recognition for your quality of coverage in such an important subject area!
Congrats. A satisfying reward for hard work. Feel encouraged to carry on.
The Lighthouse WUWT as beacon in dark stormy weather.
WUWT: Shining the Truth Keeping Vessels from Going Aground in the Storm of AGW Lies
… the wise man built his {site} on the rock. The rains came down, the streams rose, and the winds {of slander and non-cooperation from temperature data holders and grossly unfair peer review and crazy women stalking and deep personal agony and financial crisis … } blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock {of truth}.
Matthew 7:24, 25
Hang in there, Anthony. The world (still) needs you.
Here’s to the next 10 years!
(Note: if that sounds overwhelmingly appalling to you — ASK FOR HELP. We are here. Just ask us.)
Janice, your offer of assistance to Anthony is commendable.
I wonder if Anthony has done any succession planning? Like all of us, he can’t last forever; although his baby, WUWT, surely will.

Congratulations Anthony. Thanks to all the contributors and your diligence.
Best wishes,

Well done Anthony et al. A well deserved recognition of all your efforts. Great to see that the ‘negative’ sites don’t make the list. It shows that they are pandering to a minority of like-minded people, and despite their resemblance to a squeaky wheel (the shrill sound they exude) they don’t get the oil (pun intended) they crave so much!
Congratulations! Well deserved.
Congratulations on staying your course! Folks really are paying attention and you are making a difference! BTW please support Jovanni for City Council!
Congratulations to you and to all your contributors, Anthony. This recognition is well earned and well deserved. It represents many years of achievement and dedication. It is also a testament to the notion that real science will withstand the test of time as this forum has.
well done to anthony, the wuwt team, and contributors. a well deserved award.
Congratulations Anthony on the much deserved recognition. Your leadership and hard work as well as the contributions of so many are very much appreciated.

Fantastic news! Congratulations Anthony and all who contribute to make this site so useful and entertaining.
Congratulations, Anthony. I’ve been too busy to be a regular reader this year, but happened to pop by to look at your Ocean page to check something for a paper I’m working on, and happened to see this. Thanks for your dedication and perseverance in providing an invaluable resource for people who are really interested in science!
My cheque will be in the mail once I’ve paid this month’s outrageously high electricity bill, courtesy of Kathleen Wynn’s ridiculous, naive, obtusely blind, anti-human, ideologically-driven “green” energy policies and the global warming scam, which is pushing increasing numbers of Ontarians into climate poverty.
Well done Anthony and the WUWT team. Keep up the great work
