But not necessarily worth promoting to individual posts. A good way to acknowledge a whole bunch of tips. This may or may not become a regular thing.

Snow record in southern US beaten by two weeks:
❄Interesting climate fact concerning today's cold temperatures in Central MS: The official high of 36 degrees in Jackson for 11/14/18 is the earliest in the season the maximum temp has been held below 37 degrees at the site, beating the previous mark by 2 whole weeks!❄

I hope it becomes permanent. And I hope that there’s a similar multi-citing thread on the best of the week’s threads on other climate contrarian sites.
I like these newsworthy items. Keep this up and it will replace my often-skipped-over-viewing of the “Weekly Climate and Energy News Roundup” which tends to be a little too long for me, unless I’m looking for something specific. Both are good, but having a shorter version helps, too.
Seconded (if your are counting).
This is my personal favourite.
So these crab fishermen go to work on foot, bycicle or horse? Their boats are sailboats without engines? Their cool storage is kept cool with blocks of ice (not ice made with electricity, of course)?
The stupid, it burns!
No silly … YOU are supposed to walk to work, or ride a FREE electric scooter paid for by the government! YOU are supposed to disconnect your computer(s), pad(s), and phone(s) and do yoga all day, reciting mantra’s to mother earth. Ohhhmmmmmmm myyyyyyy IIIIIIIIIIiiiiii mmmmmmm aaaa MOREonnnnnnn
LOL at the mantra 🙂
The oil companies should counter sue.
By removing bio-mass, the fishers hamper the creation of future oil deposits. This will negatively affect their revenues, in a few million years.
Nice way to find a lot of stories to read… Thanks. I don’t always have enough time to dig for them myself.
It would be interesting if you could put a counter of clicks on each link.
Remove the “%20Mike” part, to make the link work.

So if the news reporter was eaten by a dinosaur, does that mean that President Trump has to let the dinosaur into the White House Press Briefing Room?
Asking for a friend …
w.
He can only let the dinosaur in after it has defecated the undigested parts of said reporter.
Dino is the new head of security
Only if the dinosaur promises to eat the other fake-news reporters that are there. /sarc
CtM, your likely sense of humorous sarcasm in re WUWT tips is a wonder to behold.
I get it, even if others might not have—yet.
Lets upgrade WUWT overall post and comment quality. Not every silly fake news climate whatever is worthy of WUWT administrator attention., or a post, or comments.
To paraphrase Andrew Jackson at the battle of New Orleans:
Concentrate fire where it counts, then don’t fire til you see the whites of their eyes.
I have no problem leaving some posts unread. I have to go to bed sometime.
Am I correct in my understanding that all these tips were originally available to those of us who occasionally check the tips and notes tab?
No Juan, the Tips and Notes no longer displays other peoples inputs, only a form submission area.
It looks like the Weekly World New is the one main stream media outlets worth reading: http://weeklyworldnews.com/
I hope aggregating the Tips and Notes submissions works out. Kind of nice to see the variety.
“……. This may or may not become a regular thing.”
I hope so, big lizards eating reporters, that is.
I feel sorry for the moose. Obviously, moose ticks need a place to stay, but the itch factor kicked in immediately and my cat even hissed at the tick photos and ran away. The moose or winter tick is a different species from the deer tick, which makes it worse – host-specific is not a good thing for the moose.
But seriously, aren’t there things that can be done, like putting out salt or mineral blocks loaded with tick repellent that would help the moose make it through winter? Or put bug repellent collars on them, along with the tracking collars?
We have frost today in New Orleans. I can’t ever recall seeing frost here before Thanksgiving. Last year we had more snow than I’ve ever seen in the city. I can’t keep my tropical plants alive overwinter anymore. And everyone keeps telling me the earth is getting warmer…
WHEN the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock,
And you hear the kyouck and gobble of the struttin’ turkey-cock,
And the clackin’ of the guineys, and the cluckin’ of the hens,
And the rooster’s hallylooyer as he tiptoes on the fence;
O, it’s then the time a feller is a-feelin’ at his best,
With the risin’ sun to greet him from a night of peaceful rest,
As he leaves the house, bareheaded, and goes out to feed the stock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock.

David Middleton! Perhaps the “smoking crater” many point out is missing in the Younger Dryas/impact theory may be in northern Greenland.
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/11/massive-crater-under-greenland-s-ice-points-climate-altering-impact-time-humans
I doubt it.
The Younger Dryas impact supposedly destabilized the Laurentide Ice Sheet (about the same size as the East Antarctic Ice Sheet). Hiawatha didn’t even leave a mark on the much smaller Greenland Ice Sheet.
A massive impact 13-14 ka that close to Camp Century would have left a very clear mark in the Late Pleistocene…
You are a living, breathing library…reminds me of Janice !
Where is Janice?
The relatively strong relief of the crater suggests that is not too old, perhaps on the order of several million years, but it is in a precambrian shield area with hard rock so it might be older. The Cretaceous Mien crater in Sweden in similar bedrock is pretty well preserved.
Well the center of green media propaganda in Canada, that is the CBC, published this about the Resplandy paper:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/peer-reviews-1.490737
They had to frame it so it still looks good…
This is a fantastic thread. I hope this becomes a regular thing.
