GET YOUR OWN SIDEBAR WIDGET – INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:

This sidebar widget can be used for any website or blog by anyone free of charge.

There are only two requirements for its use:

1. It links back to this page so that others may find how to use it.

2. It is not modified or sold for any commercial purpose

Here is the HTML code to place in your WordPress or website sidebar:

<a href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/widget/">

<img title="Click to get your own widget"

src="http://wcw.intelliweather.net/imagery/wcw/world_climate_widget_sidebar_166x223.gif"

alt="Click to get your own widget" width="166" height="223" /></a>

Simply cut and paste the code into Notepad (or other text editor) to clear any formatting then paste into your website sidebar section as HTML.

Or you may also simply copy and paste the entire widget image from above. The image URL for the widget image is:

http://wcw.intelliweather.net/imagery/wcw/world_climate_widget_sidebar_166x223.gif

FOR MAC USERS:

If you want to add the image to Mac OS X Dashboard, open the link in Safari:

http://wcw.intelliweather.net/imagery/wcw/world_climate_widget_sidebar_166x223.gif

Select “Open in Dashboard” under the file menu.

Click on the image.

Click the “Add” button.

I make no guarantees on the timeliness of update or 24/7 availability of the widget. Typically it is updated once a month in the first week of the month.

ALSO AVAILABLE – the Our Climate iPhone App:

Great Idea, Anthony…….I use Google gadgets on my sidebar and and its addition there would be useful. It would also create awareness for the general user.

Have been reading wuwt for nearly a year now since I found it on andrew bolt’s blog here in Australia
Like your widget and have added it to my web page
keep up the great work

Could full image be a little bigger?
I think that time bars should show the number of the year, if not all at least every two of them.
Below the text line of number of sunspots, could you add the date?

The purple line can be confused for a a trend line for temperature. It confused me. I’m confused.

And why not also SST and OHC?

Annual Sea temperatures around the British Isles?
I’ve been looking for this on the web and keep running into stuff with a AGW agenda and not giving the facts, just interpretations.
I’m told October is the warmest but cant find information to back this statement up.
Any ideas would be welcome

I am trying to duplicate this graph with this web site tools:http://www.woodfortrees.org
Anyone succeeded to do it?
I want to add it to my blog http://simonfiliatrault.blogspot.com/ but would like to tell people how to duplicate the result from raw data.
Thanks

Would like to see the baseline being used for the anomoly so that new viewers understand it is not based on the entire climate history of the planet.

I hope somebody can make this into an Apple OS X widget.

A suggestion for an addition, but it would make your widget even more political.
Countdown timers to the END OF THE WORLD as per various “noted persons”.
Gordon Brown, PM Great Britain, says we have 50 days.
In January 2006, Rush Limbaugh started a ten year countdown clock for Al Gore. On his clock, we have 6 years, 3 months.
If you have an interest in putting music to the item, I suggest
http://www.amazon.com/1000-Mass-End-Time-4/dp/B00004UFGW/ref=sr_1_7/176-6755399-4876919?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1255958619&sr=1-7
It is a mass written for the “End of Time” i.e. the end of the world. In Anno Domini 1000 . All the “learned people” have been getting it wrong for over a thousand years.

I asked, “Any idea how to get this into Dashboard on OS X?”
Anthony replied: “Does it have a feature to make a link to a web page? if so use that.”
Dashboard is apparently an application that downloads widgets from Apple’s own site, here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/?r=dbw
To add a widget, one must be an Apple Developer: “Apple Developer Connection (ADC) members are eligible to submit products for possible listing on the Mac OS X Downloads website.” See this page:

Anyone here competent to do this?

I’m a registered (and experienced – 20+ years) iPhone and Mac developer – would love to help you produce an iPhone app – usually do corporate stuff, so this would be terrific fun.

No… Dashboard has been built into the Finder starting with v10.5 (Tiger).
It should activate when you hit “F12” on your keyboard.

Ack… Let me clarify my last statement, because what I meant to say and what I did say are two completely different things. I was trying to be brief and to finish the posting before heading out on an errand and what I said came out wrong.
Yes, Dashboard can download “widgets” from Apple’s site. Those widgets can do a lot of things, but the functionality you are looking for is built into Dashboard … you don’t need to download anything.
Just follow the steps I laid out earlier and a “web clip” of the “World Climate Widget” will appear on your “Dashboard”, which is toggled by hitting F12 (on some laptops, I think it might be a lower numbered Fn-key).

Works well in my blog here: http://agbjarn.blog.is
I had to scale it down a bit so it is now 140 pixels wide and 188 pixels high. A bit smaller, but looks good.
Thanks.

I am surprised that nobody so far has commented on the relative scaling of the axes for CO2 and temperature. The CO2 line is drawn such that temperatures would have to rise more than 0.5 C / decade in order to have the same slope as it. This rise is much higher than the rise that the IPCC expects. (0.15 to 0.2 C / decade would be more appropriate but would have not have had the visual effect that you presumably desired.)

If you use the right scaling factor , there is a good match between UAH and CO2 at about 100ppm/Degree C
I tried this on Woodfor trees:-

Sorry 200ppm/Degree C

Why not call it the WUWT-World Climate? We know it is a Widget, no need to spell it out!
If you could fit global sea level and global; ocean heat content, that would complete the picture.

What is the baseline for the temperature anomoly? 0.42 deg above what?
David.

John Edmondson
October 19, 2009 12:42 pm

Also using Hadcrut over the full CO2 range
http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/hadcrut3gl/from:1940/to:2009/plot/esrl-co2/from:1940/to:2009/scale:0.0057/offset:-1.9
According to the Met Office this 200ppm/Degree C slope is about to change to 20ppm/Degree C over the next 40 years. A whole order of magnitude faster. I think not?

This is a great idea Anthony.
Please look into making it available as a mobile app for iphone, and a google gadget

October 19, 2009 12:57 pm

Edmondson I got close also with this one on woodfortrees.
