Great job Anthony!
To add the widget to as a Vista gadget I used freeware software from the company below. It worked really well and can be used for Mac OS’s as well.

Thanks for the upcoming iPHONE widget!
RECOMMENDED READING:
The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A FINAL WARNING
by James Lovelock
To fully understand the climatology debates, read James Lovelock’s final book…he is an Earth scientist, not an astrophysicist, and he has data to support his platform – unlike the astrophysicists who have been wrong in their predictions all along because they are not using Earth-based data, only theoretical predictions.
While the climate debate is fueled by the desire of green(back) driven politicos like Al Gore and many in Congress, its effects are real and to be understood as these effects relate to overpopulation of the planet – manure from humans and agricultural animals is a over-arching problem that surpasses the carbon emissions Gore and others like to speak of. They are out to make money, Lovelock is out to help the Planet. A big difference. See what Lovelock has to say.
Could you explain the meaning of Solar Flux number. Looked on internet but couldn’t find a good one. 75 high, low, what’s normal?
For MAC users? Can someone please direct me to the windows widget download?
Great little gadget to push your bias! Using temperature from the lower troposphere will work for some, but it should be averaged with land and ocean temps to be meaningful.
At first glance, the arguments you make here seem science based, until one realizes you are starting with some kind of religious faith that AGW is wrong, which makes you exactly as bad as the people you try to disprove!
For instance, you pervert the conclusions of ice core records- any fool can see CO2 lags temperature in the record we have, but any fool who can read a graph can see that the CO2 concentrations we have now are far higher than the rather remarkably stable record over a million years or so. That says nothing about the effects of CO2 when they exceed the available “sink” of the ocean. A million years is a drop in the bucket and does not address those times in which the CO2 WAS higher than even today, and during which the ocean level was much higher, for example.
Your approach is not one of having an open mind, but of fighting with those you perceive to threaten your view of the matter- which ain’t good science.
[REPLY – I think we are all aware that CO2 varies about 100 ppm from ice age to optimum. Many of us agree current levels of CO2 are c. 1/3 anthropogenic. But most of us don’t think overall feedbacks are positive, therefore CO2 is no threat becuase there is no amplification of the effects. ~ Evan]
Copenhagen Disgrace
It’s outrageous that the document “Copenhagen Diagnosis” being distributed to all delegates by the organisers of the Copenhagen summit on climate change was co-authored by the great data fiddler and very dishonest Michael Mann!
Michael Mann has been ostracised by his peers. Why? Because he fudged widely accepted data on global temperatures to produce his dishonest “hockey stick” used by the gross exaggerator, Al Gore.
For many years, temperature data for the last 1,000 years has been analysed by experts who have agreed on the variations shown which include the Medieval Warming and the Little Ice Age. Mann’s massaging of the data intentionally did away with these to produce his rigged “hockey stick” chart.
In 1996, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) “Second Assessment Summary for Policy Makers” chart on global temperatures included the Medieval Warming, the Little Ice Age and late Twentieth Century warming. However, in 2001, the IPPC uncritically adopted Michael Mann’s fraudulent data and in their 2001 Climate Change Report included a totally different chart using Michael Mann’s rigged figures and showing his ridiculous “hockey stick”.
Following widespread condemnation of Michel Mann’s dishonesty(a), subsequent IPCC reports have included charts omitting the “hockey stick” without explanation. This is also disgraceful, as the 2001 IPPC chart based on rigged data together with al Gore’s hyperbole, were crucial in putting so much unjustified fear and emotion into the whole Global Warming debate. It is clear that the IPPC authors knew that the rigged “hockey stick” data was wrong and sent a very misleading case to the public.
At the Copenhagen Summit, Saudi Arabia has called for an independent investigation into “Climategate”, the scandal over hacked e-mails that threatened to undermine the global-warming negotiations. The emails came from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU), headed by Phil Jones (since stood down) and widely used by the IPCC. In one email Phil Jones says: “I’ve just completed Mike’s [Mann] Nature [Magazine] trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e. from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s [Briffa] to hide the decline [in temperatures].”

I would very much like to see the R squared on that linear regression. I’ll bet that is is pretty small. It does not apear to be a very good correlation.
Hmmm, often I see these CO2 graphs from the measurements at Mauna Loa, but ooh aah err, isn’t Mauna Loa a VOLCANO, giving off vast amounts of CO2.
Is a volcano the best place to measure CO2 ?
CO2 is not evenly distributed throughout the World.
This is bogus surely ?
See the following book on CO2 .

Any projected release date on the iphone version?
The widget’s showing October 2009 for the Global Temperature Anomaly; I think you mean it to read November 2009 with the uptick of .50°C.
Just a thought but I’ve recently noticed that each time solar activity increases a bit the widget shows a tiny shift upward in the CO2.
When the solar activity is lower we seem to get tiny shifts downward in the CO2.
Can anyone produce a graphic showing whether there is any clear link over the period that the widget has been on display here ?
It can’t be that simple not least because natural ENSO type variability in SSTs has a role but the widget might be revealing solar effects on a much faster timescale than the underlying and likely much larger ocean effects in the background.
Not sure if you have seen this. Seems that the “top” countries are pushing for a six year re-examine period. Me thinks Climategate is involved here

Perhaps the best explanation of the deciet of the climate warmers. Please see if you can run this!

I love the widget. Can you make it though so when you click on it in come up bigger like the example one for September so it is easier to read? Could you also have some explanation of terms like sunspot and solar flux? My weather page readers would like that. Keep up the good work and have reading a lot of your stuff here and on other blogs. Keep um honest and keep um running. Here’s my web page: http://home.roadrunner.com/~sherwoodweather/ Wideget is on the left side of page.
It seems to me that there is a correlation between the slope of the CO2 concentration and the temperature. How do I get the raw data to check this out?
I just managed to post the widget to my facebook profile. What I did was click on the [Applications] button at the bottom left of the page, then [Browse More Applications] . In the “All Applicatons” page, enter “html” into the search box. “Profile HTML” was the second item listed. I installed that application, and then pasted the code from the instructions into the application. Viola! I have the widget in a box on my fb profile, and anyone who clicks on it will come to this page. A real facebook developer could probably create a widget fairly easily – but that would not be me 🙂
Is there a widget correlating sunspots to volcanic activities yet?
For those looking for a Google Gadget version, I was able to get it to work as follows:
Get the “Code Wrapper” widget from
http://www.google.com/ig/directory?type=gadgets&url=hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/105629041657992777031/code-wrapper.xml
then on iGoogle page, copy and paste “HTML Code” from this site into “embed code” field for this widget.
I just did a quick convert to a windows gadget that auto installs if anyone’s interested.
[snip – untrusted URL, root URL appears to be bogus, possible malware]
The News category on the Our Climate application is nothing but articles from the climate fear crowd. The other categories are well done. Can the News section be made to present more objective information?
Any chance of getting the graphs and figures and numbers updated on the actual page above? The temperature anomaly graph stops at January 2011 and it is November. The widget asserts that the current (as of October) anomaly is 0.11C (and has a somewhat compressed graph) but it would be good to be able to see the full graph and running average updated.
I note that the CO2 ‘arrow’ points up yet October at 393.22 is actually a drop on 392.29 the previous month.
