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:

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:

Anthony, can I suggest that when the reader clicks on “click here for more information”, that you should provide as part of that information, definitions of sunspot # and some commentary on solar flux. I know how the sunspot number is calculated but many visitors to blogs that host the widget will not. I have no idea what the importance of solar flux is. Some commentary would be nice such as giving the typical minimum and maximum values (is 71 high or low? what is the range from peak year to quiet year? etc.)
REPLY: absolutely, that’s in the works, bear in mind this is early Alpha right now. – Anthony
Could somebody tell me what I have to do to publish the widget in my blog (blogspot), please?
love the widget!
a temperature trendline would be very helpful.
can’t wait for the iphone application so i can use it while discussing the subject with my warmist friends.
Anthony, you may want to consider pulling the Solar Flux and Sunspot numbers from http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpdir/latest/SGAS.txt rather than http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpdir/indices/DSD.txt. DSD is data one day old – SGAS is relatively current. Just a suggestion. By the way I added your widget on the sidebar of my solar data page as an alternative to what I produce. I really like it!

REPLY: Thank you, that is high praise. Most appreciated. – Anthony
Anthony,
I live in Central England and decided to ignore all the verbiage around global warming/cooling and just look for data. I went to the British Met Office website and, after a bit of rummaging, found
http://hadobs.metoffice.com/hadcet/cetml1659.dat
This lists the Monthly Mean Central England Temperatures in Degrees C from 1659 to date
This can also be found on
http://hadobs.metoffice.com/hadcet/data/monthly_
format.html
As well as data for each month, these sites also provide the annual temperature for each year.
In 1659 the temperature for the year was 8.83 C and in 2008 was 9.96 C.
In 1779 the temperature for the year is shown as 10.40 C, and if the folks of that time could cope with that, then I reckon that we who are living in Central England now can probably manage also.
For the less numerate, this data can be seen in graphic form on
http://www.climate4you.com/images/CentralEngland
TempSince1659%201100pixel.gif
This shows three graphs for the period 1659 to date , being Annual (J-D), Winter (DJF) and Summer (JJA)
So, as far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing to worry about.
Finally, thank you for your site – a beacon of sense in a mad world.
Any ETA for the iPhone version?
And do you think after their withdrawal from the USCoC over Global Warming, that they will let you put it on the App Store? Ha!
Al Gore is on the board there you know…
really love this widget., but is’t updates everyday..
The hypothesis below may be of interest:
Hypothesis: The opening 11,000 years ago of the Bering Strait not only increased temperatures but also introduced an extra stabilising factor into global temperatures. Whereas prior to this the Arctic ocean had acted with destabilising feedback from the sea ice and its albedo, since then there has been some form of stabilising feedback – perhaps one in which the strength of the MOC has been inversely proportional to global temperature or alternatively/additionally one in which increases in global temperature increase the amount of Southern Ocean water entering the South Atlantic.

Anthony: your widget appears to have been stuck on the Nov. 13 Data for a few days. For example, yesterday’s sunspot count was 30 but the widget read 0; the flux number was 77 but the widget read 74.
It appears that this widget hasn’t updated since October. Any info on that problem?
are you still beating your puppy?
you fools are what Dick Cheyney called “stump broke ponies”.
stump broke to the politicians and corporate big $… look…. just follow the $ and see that by and large, those deliers are the one with the most ot lose. and they will fight and recruit igniramouses galore to help them. Even a Nobel Prize does not insulate you from ignorance. I have known Nobel winners who are still very non-reflective…. remember, Hitler had “god science” on his side. Keep your eyes and ears open, wake the #$%@ur momisugly# up and realize what the science is saying!
Any significance to the content of this email from the list?

Is there any way to put this into a Windows Vista or 7 Sidebar Gadget?
The widget still appears to be stuck on data almost 2 weeks old. Today’s sunspot number is 14 (it’s been in the 30’s for a few days) and flux is 76, not 74.
Están muy interesantes los Widgets.
Any way to create a vista/windows 7 sidebar gadget of this?
How about showing the smoothed actual Sunspot numbers for Cycle 23 until now?
And why not show the NASA Sunspot prediction curve, so that we can compare actual to Government predictions.
The widget is now only one day out of date. Yesterday’s sunspot#/flux was 13/76 (as the widget shows) whereas today’s is 0/76. Seems there’s an irregular time lag, but 24 hour lag is better than a week and a half. Thx.
REPLY: I’m sorry about that. the code broke, and then Climategate broke, and then…
Maybe you should feed the data directly from (what I take to be) the original source. Also what could be done is to include the day for reference by solar data, if keeping it current remains problematic.
I’m not sure that “solar flux” means anything to the general public.
Excellent tool, by the way — I’m not attempting to criticize, only hoping to help you fine-tune it. When they click on “info about the widget” you should take them to a page briefly describing the significance/context of each element of the widget (such as why “flux” is important, and what a 73, versus a 17 or 102 signifies), and the source of data. On that page there could be a link to this discussion page, info about the development of the widget, and instructions for acquiring it.
Any chance of getting this widget on Andriod?
The widget is 3 lagging by 3 days again. Sorry to bug, just FYI. Today there are no spots, but widget says 13
Seems to be up-to-date this AM.
It would be better if you can do it in degrees F.
Why hasn’t the widget updated the CO2 levels for October? It is still showing September ppm when October’s values were released in the first week of November.
By the way, October CO2 ppm are down to 384.
There should be a note cautioning that the CO2 scale was chosen arbitrarily to make it look like the temperature tracks the CO2.
