That’s right, we are having an essay contest, and there will be cash prizes for the winners. But I’ll need your help. As many of you know, over the past two years Google has slowly squeezed out most of our ad revenue. So, before we officially announce our essay contest, we need to first raise the funds so we can offer meaningful cash prizes. That means folks like you need to help. Please go to our donation page and contribute as much as you can.
Despite the frequent accusations from climate alarmists and journalists, we never receive a dime from the fossil fuel industry, and Google has made certain that our ad revenue fails to cover the cost of publishing WUWT. In fact, now they have doubled down, and announced they are going to cut off any website that publishes any doubt about catastrophic man-made global warming. See this story: Google, YouTube to prohibit ads and monetization on climate denial content
We believe the upcoming essay contest will help to engage a younger set of climate realists and gain more coverage for a rational view of climate change. So, let me thank you in advance for your help. Please donate now.
Here is the contest in a nutshell, which we plan to officially announce November 1st.
Topic: Is there really a climate crisis?
Write the best arguments against the theory of man-made catastrophic global warming that would convince your neighbors that there is no climate crisis.
Entry categories:
- General Public: Any reader who does not fall into the two categories below
- Professionals: Scientists, engineers, graduate students, doctoral candidates
- Students: College undergrads, high school students, and below
Cash Prizes:
- First prize for each of the above categories: To be determined once we have concluded our fundraising, but hopefully over $1000
- Second prize/runner up for each of the above categories: To be determined once we have concluded our fundraising.
Contest Rules Summary:
- Open to everyone, see categories.
- Essays must question the validity of the theory of man-made catastrophic global warming.
- All entries must be submitted electronically.
- 1500 words or less, not including citations.
- Graphics and tables are welcome.
- Citations are encouraged.
- Winners can remain anonymous, but must be verified by WUWT staff.
- Winning essays will be announced and published January 10th, 2022
All winning essays, judged by a panel of climate experts and journalists, will be published here, some non-winning essays may also be published.
A nationwide press-release will also be made to media outlets announcing the winning essays and their authors, if they choose not to be anonymous. I expect these essays and the winners will be picked up by many media outlets.
We will officially open the contest to entries on Monday, November 1st by announcing the contest page. At that time, the final official rules and format requirements will be published.
In the meantime, we encourage all WUWT readers to pitch in with funding for the cash prizes.
Just click on the big “Donate” button on the right sidebar. Or, this link. It is critical that we help the world to understand that the sky is not falling.
It is critical that we help the world to understand that an in-depth understanding of climate science fails to support the theory of catastrophic man-made global warming aka the “climate crisis”.
Thanks for your help, it is vitally important.

P.S. This post will stay at the top of WUWT through Monday morning to get maximum exposure.
Sounds like fun.
Will donate when at a safer internet place.
Rule clarification please:
What if you are one of those but in a field entirely unrelated to climatology? I assume one would be in this category. But does that mean one has to reveal more of one’s personal data?
Or would you take it on faith that someone is Professional or General?
I second this enquiry MC. I’m an Earth Sciences graduate but quickly went into finance, gaining relevant post-grad/professional qualifications on the way. Which category should someone like me be in?
I think it would be helpful if the winning articles were peer reviewed before publication. Warmists would love to ridicule WUWT articles and if they contain inaccuracies they would be easy targets.
tonyb
peer review is an editorial process of correction and revision. The writer should simply have someone(s) they trust and know has a good understanding of the topics read the m/s and give them critical comments before submission to WUWT.
IMO, the submission made to this contest must be in final form, including spell checked, grammar checked etc.
Just a guess here, if one wrote an essay using their field of expertise to critique one of the CAGW claims (IE The M&M’s critique of Mann’s Hockey Stick from a statistical angle), then, yes, they are “Professionals”.
What, like someone from Monash Uni? If so, we are told we are cooked.

SCIENTIFIC COMPETENCE – THE ABILITY TO CORRECTLY PREDICT
By Allan M.R. MacRae, October 7, 2021
The ability to correctly predict is the best objective measure of scientific and technical competence. Following are the correct predictions of Allan MacRae on two important subjects:
– GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISM
– COVID-19 LOCKDOWNS AND ”VACCINES”
Allan MacRae’s scientific predictions on both these subjects are infinitely more accurate than the mainstream narratives, which have been 100% false and baselessly alarmist to date.

THE CATASTROPHIC ANTHROPOGENIC GLOBAL WARMING (CAGW) AND THE HUMANMADE CLIMATE CHANGE CRISES ARE PROVED FALSE
By Allan M.R. MacRae, B.A.Sc.(Eng.), M.Eng., January 10, 2020

It is now obvious that the summer case spike and hundreds of thousands of deaths in North America attributed to the Covid-19 virus were actually caused by the Covid-19 “vaccines”.
The Covid-19 “vaccines” are kill shots and the “vaccine mandates” are a death sentence.
I first published this hypothesis in June 2021 or earlier
.
It is especially egregious for governments and institutions to be pushing the Covid-19 injections on school children and young adults, teachers, health care workers, etc. Children and healthy adults are at very low risk of severe harm from the Covid-19 virus, but the “vaccines” are dangerous..
Vaccine-caused injuries and deaths can be crudely categorized as follows:
Short Term: Immediate severe adverse reactions including deaths from the injections occur with hours or days of the injections and harm more than one in 1000. Myocarditis and pericarditis are already happening, particularly to teenage boys. Heart muscle does not heal.
Medium-Term: It is hypothesized that more prevalent adverse reactions to the “vaccines” due to Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) will occur during this winter flu season.
Long-Term: It is hypothesized that much more prevalent adverse reactions to the “vaccines” due to damage to the circulatory system, leading to loss of circulatory blockages, heart attacks etc. The D-dimer test of the vaccinated will provide an early warming of future harm.
“78% of the deaths in the U.K. are among the ‘double-vaccinated.”
– Canadian Physician Dr. Mark Trozzi
“If we vaccinate our children the deaths we’ve seen in adults so far we will now see in children.”
– Canadian Epidemiologist Dr. Paul Alexander
“I think we’ve completely suppressed any form of treatment or help to people in order to promote the vaccine. Now the vaccine doesn’t work completely and it’s, frankly, dangerous. We’re down to almost one message: Take the jab or else … It’s the scariest time to be an American, and thank goodness half of Americans didn’t take it.
We’re going to have to see what this is going to look like. I think the next month or so is going to be incredibly interesting and it’s going to be ominous.”
– American Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough
“In the end, i predict that we’re going to see mass illnesses and deaths among people who normally would have wonderful lives ahead of them.”
– German Microbiologist Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi
“Hope to be wrong, rarely am.”

Complete and utter garbage. You will find no reliable data for this shameless lie. And why you would peddle such misinformation when people may well die who believe you is beyond me. Shame on you.
Simon, I’ve done ~3000 hours of research on Covid-19 – I bet you’ve not done 3000 seconds work on this subject.
It also appears your reading comprehension is limited.
Therefore, here are some videos for you. Enjoy. 🙂

Ok let’s start and finish with your references. Bitchute is a known far right conspiracy website. It has absolutely no credibility in any sense in the medical world. If you are feeding from that trough, then you are poisoning your mind. Lord knows why you would think anything out of that site could be truth.
Think about it for a second. Add some common sense. If the death rate was as your quote, families would be loosing loved ones, friends would be loosing friends, colleagues would be loosing colleagues. And these people would be screaming to the press, who would love to run stories like these. Mate, it’s just not happening. All the stories you hear are from the ” I know someone” brigade. It’s never from direct sources. And if it is they are “always” anti vaxers who are clearly lying.
Simon, you are spouting nonsense..
These are videos of world-class expert physicians and researchers.
Your ignorant rhetoric does you a great disservice.
No one should believe you about anything.,
Nonsense They are world class nobodies. Google them and read their backgrounds. Please don’t tell you you also believe that crazy conspiracy stuff too?
So if all these people are dying from the vaccines where are they? I know literally hundreds who have had it including all my family and friends and not one has suffered anything more than a mild flu type thing which is entirely expected.
Listen moron.
1) Bitchute is not a website but a video hostng service
2) It does not matter at all wether bitchute is a far right or YouTube a far left site,it’s about the quality of the content
(hard to ex plain this to a moron who can not rell the message from the messanger)
3) even then it has nothing to do with bitchute or YouTube as the content is made from a content creator and not bitchute / YouTubes fault / achievement
4)bitchute has far less censorship than YouTube.At YouTube i can’t even comment on topics like slavery in islam,though i was born as a muslim.It gets autodeleted.
If you are fine with fascist youtube
bitchute should be no problem for you
5) if you belong to the progressive AGW cult you are the last person on earth to complain about bitchutes standards,
as you spit in the face of integrity and truth,
by going along with failed predictions,name calling,cancel culture,intimidation,mob culture etc.
Then you have no rights to complain.
“Listen moron….”

VAXXED DELTA PILOT DIES IN-FLIGHT; SOUTHWEST FLIGHTS HAVE MASS CANCELLATIONS
October 12, 2021
Vaxxed Delta Pilot Dies In-Flight; Southwest Flights Have Mass Cancellations (mercola.com)
Reports of hundreds of canceled Southwest flights have been met with all kinds of excuses, and Stew Peters says somebody’s lying.
It’s not bad weather, like Southwest claims, he says. And, it’s not FAA problems either, because they say there haven’t been any air traffic control problems that would cause massive flight cancellations, despite reports that air traffic control agents walked off the job in Jacksonville, Florida, in protest of vaccine mandates. So what is it? Other airlines didn’t have mass cancellations.
Peters says it’s probably the vaccine mandates that Southwest just laid down for all personnel — and, he says, “there are reports that pilots are joining the resistance as well” even though the pilots’ union denies it.
Adding to the scandal are reports of a Delta pilot who died in-flight within the last 10 days. The co-pilot said he just suddenly died. The co-pilot also shared that the pilot said he’d just gotten his second COVID shot a few days earlier.
“It’s much bigger than people think,” the co-pilot allegedly said. Not only that flights are being diverted due to pilots with chest pains. A passenger with chest pains forced an emergency landing, too. A Seattle-based pilot was found dead on his floor from an embolism; flight attendants are not returning to active duty in “droves” following their shots; two were found dead after their shots. Plus, seven Atlanta-based flight attendants have already had breakthrough infections.
A vaccinated pilot got a breakthrough infection and died of kidney failure. And the reports just keep coming in, with the airlines keeping their communications sealed. So what’s happening here? “A pilot is dead and the media completely whitewashes the whole thing,” Peters says.

WHY ARE MORE PEOPLE DYING FROM HEART DISEASE?
October 11, 2021
Why Are More People Dying From Heart Disease? (mercola.com)
Using data from the U.K.’s Government Statistical Service, diagnostic pathologist Clare Craig has found that excess deaths in the U.K. for the week ending September 10, 2021, are showing an alarming increase in heart disease mortality. Specifically, there were:24% more heart failure deaths than baseline
19% ischaemic heart disease
16% cerebrovascular disease (strokes)
18% other circulatory diseases
Why is this happening? she asks. Blogger and political analyst Mike Whitney provides some disturbing answers. “The vaccines are an attack on the body’s critical infrastructure, the vascular system, and particularly the thin tapestry of cells that line the walls of the blood vessels,” Whitney says. “The vaccines trigger bleeding, blood clots and autoimmune disease.”
And, just in case someone counters with the idea that most people aren’t suffering with heart problems after their shots, Whitney shoots back, “the impact is likely to be just as devastating in the long-run …when antibodies attach to spike-producing endothelial cells on vessel walls following vaccine administration, activated complement proteins can be expected attach to the endothelial cells, and perforate their cell membranes … [and will create] a catastrophic microvascular injury syndrome mediated by activation of complement.”
Summarizing, he says this means “the vaccine creates a situation where your body viciously attacks your own circulatory system generating blood clots and leaky blood vessels. Do you think you can live with a damaged vascular system? Do you think you will enjoy a long and happy life with an immune system that is programed to attack and kill healthy cells that now produce the pathogenic “spike protein”? If so, then for how long; how long do you think you can survive that type of internal warfare? 2 years? 5 years? 10 years?”
In other words, those who have taken the shots and not reported any adverse events yet have only to wait a matter of time and then it will hit them, too.

“In other words, those who have taken the shots and not reported any adverse events yet have only to wait a matter of time and then it will hit them, too.”
I would say the same for those who have not taken the shots. This is now a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
More falsehoods from Simon.
Israel is earlier that every other country in the Covid-19 injection timeline. What happens in Israel will happen to us next.
The Covid-19 “vaccines” are the primary cause of the recent illnesses and deaths – not the virus. Told you so June 2021.
ARE THE COVID SHOTS WORKING?
October 13, 2021
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/10/13/are-the-covid-shots-working.aspx
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
· A recent report details a SARS-CoV-2 Delta outbreak in an Israeli hospital where 238 out of 248 (96%) of the exposed patients and staff had been fully vaccinated with Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine
· Of the 238 fully vaccinated individuals, 39 (16%) were infected, as were three of the 10 unvaccinated individuals who got exposed
· While all of the sickened staff recovered, five infected patients died and nine turned into severe or critical cases. All of the dead and severe/critical cases were fully vaccinated. Two unvaccinated patients that got infected only had mild illness
· This outbreak tells us that the COVID shots cannot create herd immunity. It also suggests vaccinated people may be more prone to serious and lethal infection than the unvaccinated
· Of 41,552 hospitalized patients in the U.S., 73% of the unvaccinated, 71% of the partially vaccinated and 72% of the fully vaccinated received a diagnosis of COVID-like illness (CLI) between January 1, 2021, and June 22, 2021
“
The Covid-19 “vaccines” are the primary cause of the recent illnesses and deaths – not the virus. Told you so June 2021.”
Not true… more BS.
“· This outbreak tells us that the COVID shots cannot create herd immunity. It also suggests vaccinated people may be more prone to serious and lethal infection than the unvaccinated”
No it doesn’t.
“· While all of the sickened staff recovered, five infected patients died and nine turned into severe or critical cases. All of the dead and severe/critical cases were fully vaccinated. Two unvaccinated patients that got infected only had mild illness”
Untrue.
Truth. If you are vaccinated you can still get covid.
Truth. If you are vaccinated your chances of ending up in hospital are (in NZ anyway) 130 times less than if you are unvaccinated.
The vaccines could potentially save your life. Being unvaccinated puts you are far greater risk. It really is simple maths.
Simon – you are even more convincing when you stamp your foot and scream. Keep up the good work.
(sarc/right off)
Although some of the technical material in this treatise is above my pay grade, I can fully agree with the Summary (below).
Everything our health authorities have done has made Covid-19 worse – from the economy-destroying lockdowns, masking and distancing, to harmful “stay at home until you’re dying” protocols, to the ignoring of simple, effective treatments such as Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Melatonin, Quercetin and Zinc and the suppression of Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin and Herd Immunity, to the obsessive drug-pushing of toxic-and-ineffective experimental vaccines, all point to a sinister motive.
As I’ve published before about the false climate-and-energy crisis, “No rational person or group could be this obtuse for this long – they know they are lying; they’ve been lying since the very beginning.”

AN OPEN LETTER TO BARONESS VERMA, BRITISH UNDERSECRETARY FOR ENERGY
By Allan MacRae, October 31, 2013
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/10/31/blind-faith-in-climate-models/#comment-1130954
[excerpt]
So here is my real concern:
IF the Sun does indeed drive temperature, as I suspect, Baroness Verma, then you and your colleagues on both sides of the House may have brewed the perfect storm.
You are claiming that global cooling will NOT happen, AND you have crippled your energy systems with excessive reliance on ineffective grid-connected “green energy” schemes.
I suggest that global cooling probably WILL happen within the next decade or sooner, and Britain will get colder.
I also suggest that the IPCC and the Met Office have NO track record of successful prediction (or “projection”) of global temperature and thus have no scientific credibility.
I suggest that winter deaths will increase in the UK as cooling progresses.
I suggest that Excess Winter Mortality, the British rate of which is about double the rate in the Scandinavian countries, should provide an estimate of this unfolding tragedy.

…AND EUROPE
Pervasive cold has been gripping much of the European continent, too, compounding the ongoing energy crisis.
According to the Slovenský hydrometeorologický ústav (SHMÚ) on Facebook, record cold has swept Slovakia.
Lows of -5.5C were registered in the mountain valleys, but unprecedented October cold was also noted in the East Slovak lowland. The Walnut Station, for example, logged -1.1C, while at many other stations, records have been broken, concludes the FB post.
And as with the Western U.S., the mercury is forecast to plunge even further this week.
Looking at the latest GFS runs, departures will sink some 16C below the seasonal average for many.
Here’s the picture for Italy and the Balkans on Monday, October 11:

THE COMING REAL PANDEMIC OF THE VACCINATED
Drs. Trozzi and Alexander explain ADE and other dangers of the ‘vaccines’, and warn of the coming wave of deaths among those who have received these experimental gene therapies.
Dr. Mark Trozzi is an ER doctor with 25 years experience. He took a leave of absence early this year to fight Covid tyranny full time. His website is drtrozzi.com.
Dr. Paul Alexander is a world-class clinical epidemiologist who was trained at McMaster University, Canada’s top university for epidemiological research. Dr. Alexander was fired from his position at the university for speaking the truth about the harms being caused by the Covid ‘vaccines’.
“78% of the deaths in the U.K. are among the ‘double-vaccinated.”
– Dr. Mark Trozzi
“If we vaccinate our children the deaths we’ve seen in adults so far we will now see in children.”
– Dr. Paul Alexander
Watch and share this very important interview. The next fear-mongering tactic coming down the pipe is a ‘wave of pediatric cases’, but in actual fact children are in no danger from Covid whatsoever. Sadly, many are likely to die as a result of the bioweapons being falsely represented as ‘vaccines’.

AW simply needs to open a Patreon account and ask WUWT followers to fund it to defray his cost and time (as well as CtM and the mods) for running and moderating it. Patreon is how many Conservatives with YouTube channels with hundreds of thousands to millions of followers and are still getting paid for content (via a Patreon subscriptions) as YouTube pulls their ad monetization because they don’t like the message.

For the sake of American forests.
Make Drax coal again.
Or natural gas!
I can’t wait for your essay…you may need to ask Ghalfrunt, Simon, Lyodo, Nick…for some help to get it over a page.
I can already imagine your first sentence…we are facing an existential crisis and the world is not happy unless you pay…oops typo pray to us.
Well griffy you must be learning some facts here at WUWT.
Natural gas combustion does release a lot less CO2 as the USA have proven with their switch from coal to gas power generation .
Stick around and you might come to realize that the climate emergency is an over hyped scam .
Graham
All UK green organisations are behind the campaign to stop Drax burning imported woodchips – good to see this taken up by a wider public.
Wood burnig is air poisoning, a bad fact left behind in the 70th. But had a rebirth with the Green Movement as declared as “Carbon Neutral”
Griff, mate,
Where were the greens, including yourself, when people like us were saying to was a crazy idea, sure to cause more CO2 emissions (not that CO2 is a pollutant), was a terrible idea?
All UK green organisations are 97% bonkers
Make Drax coal again
Must see Michael Moore’s Planet of the Humans. The bit about biomass will make you weep. And that silly old man McKibben comes across very badly indeed, at one point all for wood chips, in the street being challenged , not so much.
Seen it
I liked the solar powered gig with a diesel generator round the back

Make a subscription for ad-free. $5 a month. I’m sure there are many that would support you and the efforts of climate realism.
I’d be on board with that! 🙂
We believe the upcoming essay contest will help to engage a younger set of climate realists
There’s that word belief again. Younger sceptics may be out there but I don’t give much for the chances of them standing up in the neo-mediaeval 21st century with all its crazy [woke] ideologies from race and sex to climate change and calling the alarmists out.
Heretics are burned at the stake in public on Twitter etc. They are cast out as unpersons to all but fellow sceptics. Who is unaware of that?
I really do hope you’re right and it does indeed galvanise younger people. But having seen XR and IB etc I do have my doubts.
All the best with it.

Lack of self-awareness. I went to the wikipedia page and was greeted with plea for money, to keep wikipedia “independent,” followed by a hard left hit piece on Naomi. I’m an editor over there, but I’ll never give them a dime.
Having previously donated to Wikipedia, I have recently received direct solicitations. However, I’m not going to donate again unless they clean up their act and remove the bias from their entries that are politically influenced.
You might try adding this to the top of wikipedia pages and see if you get banned too:

Google and Youtube are NOT unbiased benevolent truth-seekers. Screen output simply goes to those who result in the most profit to them. Allowing them to determine the “What-is-truth?” answer is a serious error of judgement.

I didn’t knew that Harry was that great.
But you have a point.
Considering that Harry S. used Japan as atom bomb guinea pig Trueman show,
though the USA and Japan had already been negotiating about Japans surrender for weaks (using Vatican as intermediary )
makes him for sure one of the greatest,on the same level as F J Biden.
And as Trueman was a democrat his chronicle innocence makes it mandatory thing to place him among the greatest.

The UK’s Ehergy omni-shambles are getting worse
“Omni Energy switched unprofitable customers without express consent
With wholesale prices at record highs, customers are paying less for gas than suppliers can buy it, meaning households that use a lot of energy are costing suppliers such as Omni large amounts of money. Since the beginning of August, a total of 10 suppliers have fallen into insolvency, and Omni is hoping to avoid the same fate.
Ofgem, the energy regulator, does not permit suppliers to switch customers without their consent, except as part of a takeover of all or part of a business.”
https://www.theguardian.com/money/2021/oct/08/omni-energy-switched-unprofitable-customers-without-express-consent
Only three months ago ‘households that use a lot of energy’ were Omny Energy’s most profitable customers. So much for loyalty to the good customers !
Perhaps you could set it up as a formal debate. Potential essayists apply and you allocate them to make either the pro or con case for global warming. The allocations should be blind, applicants treated anonymously. It’s a pity such debates are out of fashion. There’s nothing that quite makes you refine your own argument than to make the case against it. Of course, there’s always the risk that you’ll change your mind. However it would be really good to have some global warmists present the case against this view.
Warmists simply won’t show up, as usual. They are interested only in stamping out any dissent from their incorrect view.
I check in here most every day, yet know nothing specific of your troubles with the internet censors. But your circumstances sound like a flagship legal case for the larger issue of censorship. Essay or not, this will have to be addressed if you are to “help the world to understand that the sky is not falling.” Maybe the ACLU will take up the freedom of speech angle for you. (Just kidding – but they did represent Nazis back in the 60s.)
I’ll donate a bit. I actually wrote an applicable essay 15 years or so ago, triggered by Sam Donaldson stating for a fact that the world had never been hotter and was only getting worse fast. It persuaded the few who read it, but I’ve seen better over the years. But I have not seen anything to defeat people’s susceptibility to this combination:
“I check in here most every day, yet know nothing specific of your troubles with the internet censors.”
Me, too. I would like to hear more about how Google is trying to screw WUWT. I had no idea Google was cutting into your revenue.
Me as well. Considering the number of readers and the amount of ads on this site, I thought revenue wouldn’t have been a problem. It would be good to know more about the censorship problem spreading like wildfire in the “free” world.
But your circumstances sound like a flagship legal case for the larger issue of censorship.

Anthony, the last time I tried to donate, a phone number was REQUIRED, and thus, no donation. Is that still the case? If so, please remove or make it optional. Thanks.
OK, fake phone number works. Benjamin’s on the way for a good cause.
I have never been asked for a phone number and always use PayPal.
Winners can remain anonymous, but must be verified by WUWT staff.
=========
WHAT?? A secret told to one other person is no longer a secret.
WUWT is cutting its own throat. Having seen its own revenue fall to near zero it fails to consider the chilling impact on would be authors.
Try and submit an anonymous article to WUWT. You cant. It isnt permitted. So why bother? Why risk it? Why risk the same fate as WUWT?
If WUWT truly wants wide ranging submissions then allow fully anonymous article submissions.
Only winners need to be identified by WUWT. I imagine that it’s quite difficult to give a cash prize to someone if you don’t know who they are.
Bitcoin among many provides anonymous payments.
WUWT has no special legal protection against accident, data breach, or legal action revealing peoples names.
We are talking people’s careers with a huge legal liability is someone’s name is revealed without their permission.
I expect Anthony carries commercial liability insurance against such a mishap.
However if someone does suffer a loss they would be forced to sue Anthony’s insurance provider, which can be awful difficult if you just lost you job and live in a different jurisdiction.
So why require people to submit their real names if they want to publish anonymously?
In any case it is rather straight forward to mask your true identity, email and phone with free tools on the internet. And the virtual identity so created will fully pass captcha and 2 part verification.
So whatever the purpose might be for collecting identities there is no way WUWT can actually be sure that the author is a real or virtual person.

My entry as follows –
On Climate Change
by Mr.
Summer > Autumn > Winter > Spring.
That is all.
The End.
As 1500 words are requested, you have some repetitions to add 😀
1500 or less…
1500 or fewer?
Gaia repeated that 4.5 billion times already. Seems repetition falls on deaf ears.
My global warming file of Proverbs, analogies, factoids, quotes, smart remarks, …is way over ten thousand words, so I’ll have to pare it down a bit to meet the 1500 word limit.
I’m convinced that we have been well marginalized by the troughers in academe, gov and associated establishments in terms of presenting the science. We’re even in Wiki as anti-science deniers/shills.
I’ve recently used arguments from history and from artifacts of earlier climates (a 5000 yr old white spruce stump in situe at Tuktayuktuk) in the barren lands on the NW Arctic shore of Canada. Several hundred km south is the treeline (also white spruce) and another couple of hundred km south of that, their are white spruce of the size of the Tuk tree that grow in an area that’s10C warmer.
The meaning is obvious to a 12yr old whom I explained it to. I explained polar T enhancement and estimated that the world averaged ~5°C warmer 5,000 yrs ago, 3 times the 1.5°C that the Lysenkoist consensus is scaring the world about for their global socialist governance bosses.
There are numerous indisputable examples of this kind. I’m looking forward to the usual “woke talking points’ sociologists who frequent here to argue this example.
Just donated. Keep up the great work. If I was wealthy like Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos, you would not have any financial issues.
“we never receive a dime from the fossil fuel industry,”
Unlikely. The source of the loot that pours into the Donors Capital Fund that distributes it to the Heartland Institue that puts coin your pocket remain furtively anonymous. We may never know for sure, but the “ fossil fuel industry” would be implausibly remiss if it wasn’t chipping in. So pull the other one.
fossil fuel industry” would be implausibly remiss if it wasn’t chipping in.
That’s your delusional worldview speaking. It can’t possibly not be so since we’ve incanted this litany so many thousands of times. But most fossil industry research funding of course goes to mainstream alarmists like you. You stand among us as the one who truly is funded by the fossil fuel industry. The hypocrisy is therefore total. Look at the sponsors of any of the climate conferences that you attend. Does your self-deceiving brain filter out the logos of all those oil companies funding right-on academic climate research?
If Heartland’s “sponsors” logos were out on display and not hidden behind veils of smokescreen you might have a point.
What’s your point?! If it’s the “money corrupts” idea, ‘your’ side of the issue is an order of magnitude more corrupt.
Wokies believe that the crimes, lies and sins they commit are what everybody else also does. This well-known psychological transference isn’t because wokies are without imagination. Rather it is part of the designer-brained education that most receive.
Sceptics are the 3% or so that transcend this diabolical mind washing. Odd and very revealing that the obedient minions, all armed with the same official talking points into same order, think one has to receive a paycheck from some group to disagree with foolishness. Thinking for yourself is not a concept acceptable to their handlers.
Isn’t it literally the opposite
How do we submit our essays?
I wrote an article. I want to submit it to WUWT but I can’t find your email address anywhere.
Here is my article.
The article notes: 1) massive funding climate science got since Obama; 2) No attempts made with this money to validate a “greenhouse gas effect”. 3) one particular article (Keating, 2007), in a peer-reviewed journal, confuses heat capacity with a ‘greenhouse gas effect’.
It would be much easier if we could submit our essays as html.
Lukewarmists take note.
Look at the top of the page where you will see a box “Submit story”.
Back Radiation Is Bollocks by Willis Eschenbach.
To be fair, “back radiation” was not invented by Willis. There are lots of far more prominent “climate scientists” and institutions spreading that nonsense. Understanding how “back radiation” (which of exists!) can not heat anything, is like a little IQ test. And as with any IQ test, it is hard to imagine how anyone could possibly fail on such simple questions. But people do..
“To be fair, “back radiation” was not invented by Willis. “
I know that but he is the one who continually pushes this back radiation bullshit without a shred of evidence that it has any effect whatsoever.
If you criticise him he gives you abuse or deletes your post and lots of WUWT posters rally to his defence and you end up with a downvote that looks like griff’s.
If WUWT is a truly sceptical website it should be challenging the lack of evidence supporting the GHE not arguing how effective the GHE is in raising the temperature of the planet surface or what the ECS should be. That is simply a discussion between climate change alarmists and lukewarmists.
It’s time to quash sophistry.
Anyone willing to leave their comfort zone? Be true to yourself! We are all playing the same game, the difference is just the tools we have. Yes, Willis is an asshole, so am I. The point is Willis is an incompetent asshole, which marks the difference.
It is all about competence. We would need to sort this out in a kind of survival of the fittest, which science should be all about. Who would doubt I will be the lone survivor? 😉
The spectrum of a-holes from the very top DAVOS, to the woke, has an untraviolet catastrophe ( you know the UV thing before Planck ).
Planck solved that with ‘help’ the famous constant h. The world was never the same again.
Today H-yperinflation, a catastrophe for the woke, will be solved with a HELP!
Then starts some actual thinking!
What helps? Well, crash economic programs, in quanta, never mind gradual ‘recovery’ or ‘tapering’ by the FED.
Yes, both you and leitmotif fail that IQ test and serve as useful idiots to discredit other skeptics.
How hard is it to understand that anything that delays cooling retains heat?
Instead of noting that the effect is harmless, and indeed beneficial, you persist in spouting discrediting nonsense.
I think you are the idiot, Rich Davis. Only an idiot would confuse “cooling slower” with “increasing temperature”.
You accept the GHE without ever asking whether anyone has tried to measure the effect of the GHE.
You are a useful idiot to the lukewarmists on this blog.
But “back radiation” does not delay cooling, or retain heat. It does nothing at all! It is just an entropic process where every molecule emits and absorbs radiation according to its temperature. It even happens in your body. It is never a source of energy. It will only even out differences in temperature.
For instance the “GHE” partially does even turn negative with an inversion, as the air is warmer than the surface and emits more radiation. That has led some to argue CO2 would rather cool the antarctic, which would explain why there is no warming. It is not true either. However what you should ask yourself is, how a GHE can turn negative despite the atmosphere providing “back radiation”, and actually plenty of relative to surface temperature. How is that possible?
The irony of the WUWT stance is that it rejects the claim that the CAGW effect of the GHE is settled science and then endorses the lesser GHE hypothesis and claims that that science is settled.
If you do not agree with the lukewarmists you are a Sky Dragon Slayer.
Isn’t Tim Ball one of those? Hmmmm?
I’m loving my downvotes. It proves my point.
Lukewarmists are warmists who haven’t come out of the closet yet.
I had to install AdGuard since FF and Edge were killing my 6-cpu PC. I can leave sites through, but WOW, WSJ and all MSM have a real hissy fit when they detect. I don’t even get to the Paywall!
Even works on android, no idea what FaceBook would do..
And to think of the $89 TRILLION that Davos and Mark Carney want to flush through the worlds’ central banks!
There are some clowns who still see BlackRock as a fossil fuel hedge fund, and miss that $89 TRILLION gorilla under the carpet.
What is derailing this insane green lurch to Climate Church is the hyperinflation hitting true believer’s (who dismiss science) right now. Davos does not have much time – the Great Reset looks like the Great Whimper!
In times like this profound questions begin to grip former believers, and Davos et al, fear that most of all. Then profound answers, such as massive development crash programs become the only game in town….
What is the closing date to submit the essays?
The week before extinction.
Web advertisers are no doubt already noticing that the value of their ads is withering since their audience on Google censor-approved sites is shrinking by the day.
“…fails to support the theory of catastrophic man-made global warming aka the “climate crisis””.
≠===========
Anthony, only 25% of the population respond to analytical arguments such as you have outlined. The other 75% respond to emotional arguments. That is why the polar bear is so successful as an icon for climate change.
Climate crisis is an emotional trigger, not an analytical argument. The climate discussion has moved on.
It matters not one wit that the theory doesn’t support AGW. What matters is the reaction driven by what people believe.
Spot on!
Thinking rationally is far, far more taxing than just rolling with how you “feel” about something.
Marketers have known this for centuries.
“Free” is one of the most emotive strings that pull acceptance / buying actions.
Smarter buyers investigate how anything can be offered for free by an organization that has fixed costs.
(Like solar panels providers)
Isn’t that the basis of an essay. You could argue the question is no longer meaningful. I think it is close to fact. The next phase will be to see how it unravels as the weather gets colder and random energy extraction is recognised as a humungous waste of resources. Look at the Afghan war. It was being won for two decades then lost in two weeks! People dying of cold across the northern continents in a few months could change a lot of minds about fossil fuels.
Many years ago I was in a school debate for the affirmative on the proposition –
The USA is dying!
The negative side argued the USA was dead. The strategy was something we had not contemplated and our argument had to change midstream from dying to something like – being still alive but on life support.
Watch as the Woke respond to their portmonae, their wallet, which is all they actually believe in.
Hyperinflation hits the wallet, hard.
Time for profound questions about nature and economy, as the wallet empties….
First things first: As serious blackouts rise, a governmental committee in London (that boris doesn’t listen yet) says for many months: Only with PERMANENT INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION will the electricity networks operate without local and global blackouts. https://nationalpreparednesscommission.uk/2021/07/national-resilience-preparing-for-future-challenges/
While you can “cooperate” as much as you like, if your ultimate source of power is sunshine and breezes, you’re basically screwed.

Okay, I did see “Godspell” too many times at the theater (much more fun than a movie), but if you were there….. 🙂
Can I do something with my photos that shows how important WARMTH is to plants and insects, especially since we depend on both organisms to do things that provide us with food?
Great initiative!
The critical thing is to test essays out on some brainwashed zombies. The key will be to induce these slaves to emotion to ask questions. People have to wake themselves up by asking questions. It is our Duty to lead the sheeple to ask the questions that will set them free from their brainwashing.
The ability to question makes us human. The right to question makes us free. This shall be my opening line. As it is directed to scientifically ignorant people, I will try to tap in to emotions (bit of a challenge since I am a bit of a hard nosed non emotional, non conformist type) and induce the readers to come to their own conclusions. Enlightenment can ONLY come from within.
Remember, we are writing to convince those who think differently to ourselves. The target audience is emotional and not logical.
Still no mention of the nobel prize in physics on WUWT? A nobel prize for climate models that have been 100% wrong in their predictions. It deserves a comment I think.
The increase in type 2 diabetes is the ultimate argument. If we had a climate crisis we would have a crop crisis. We dont, obviously.
“If we had a climate crisis we would have a crop crisis.”
True. In fact it is the opposite. Record crops year upon year.
Lukewarmists give alarmists the credibility they don’t deserve.
WUWT seems to have more than its (dave) fair share of lukewarmists.
When are lukewarmists going to challenge the claimed catastrophic effects of the GHE or the ridiculous ECS claims which are based on groupthink and cargo cult science by the media and alarmist websites and publications instead of agreeing with them to a point?
Meanwhile, BBC One will screen a film drama, The Trick, on October 18, based on Climategate 2009 where Phil Jones et al at the CRU UEA are shown to be hacked by climate change deniers to discredit the settled science of AGW.
“With time running out against an unseen enemy, The Trick looks at the potentially devastating consequences to humanity from climate change denial; how a media storm undermined public confidence in the science and how the concept of ‘truth’ took a back seat causing us to lose a decade of action. The film also charts the unjustified persecution of Phil Jones, his wife Ruth’s fierce support of her husband and the fight for the ultimate exoneration of himself and the science.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2021/the-trick
I seem to remember it differently.
Don’t know about you but I would be very wary about supporting the roll of the GHE in the settled science when the only difference between warmists and lukewarmists is “How Much?”.
Maybe WUWT needs a new direction?
I made WUWT aware of the screening of The Trick a few days ago but no response so far from them even though I supplied my email address. Maybe WUWT considers making heroes out of the CRU UEA crooks an OK thing or maybe I made too many complaints about Willis and his back radiation bullshit
We are going to get about 90 minutes of how Phil Jones and his wife et al were persecuted and destroyed by climate deniers hacking their emails intent on discrediting the science of man-made climate change.
And all on the National Broadcaster of the United Kingdom, BBC One, for 67M people and 150M worldwide in English and 27 other languages worldwide.
Just before COP26, too.
Oh, well, I tried.
WUWT should be hammering down on this sort of rubbish if it is seriously opposed to disinformation on AGW.
Obviously it’s not.
Sent in my small part. Best of luck.
Did you pack it in ice?
I would like to donate, can I send a check? address? I am in Michigan, I donated before.
