UPDATE: Watts has toned down his momentous hype. He apparently has a healthy sense of self-importance that leads him to make grand pronouncements. That sound you hear is air deflating from the climate skeptic sphere. Either Anthony Watts is in possession of big-time climate news or he’s over-dramatizing a piece of news that he thinks is big:…Continue Reading…
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross famously coined the five stages of grief: 1) Denial, 2) Anger, 3) Bargaining, 4) Depression, 5) Acceptance Anthony Watts appears to be stuck at stage 2. Oh sure, he’s still very much in denial over this, but make no mistake, he’s also fuming and furiously spinning. It is highly doubtful that any amount of peer review–when…Continue Reading…
This is rich: So after being bombarded with all the news stories about how offensive this term is, and noting that some of the same people doing reporting lambasting Perry over the name of a ranch called “niggerhead” have absolutely no trouble at all calling people like me and the readers of WUWT “deniers” (Think…Continue Reading…
Jeepers, Anthony. Your language is right out of Andy Griffith and Dennis the Menace, but your storyline is pure Morano. Gee willickers, for some real cussing, sit down and enjoy this classic.
Over the years, I think I’ve written more articles on the research produced by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) than any other agency. I’ve been in the field with many USGS scientists, whose work has taken me deep into the Florida Everglades and across the windswept prairies of North Dakota, among other places.

Anthony Watts, the proprietor of the well known climate skeptic blog, WUWT, seems to have a double standard on what constitutes an insult to ethnic groups. Watts is making a big deal out of some recent comments by Timothy Wirth, a former U.S. senator and now the president of the UN Foundation, who reportedly said this…Continue Reading…
Anthony Watts bites down hard on sour grapes after reading the big news yesterday in USA Today. More on that in a minute. So Dan Vergano breaks the story and offers this helpful background: The study, which appeared in 2008 in the journal Computational Statistics and Data Analysis, was headed by statistician Edward Wegman of George Mason University…Continue Reading…
The curmudgeons and scolds are braying at WUWT over this Australian rap video. How crude! How offensive! How naughty! How…unsurprising. Once upon a time, lots of people got all riled up over this guy and his swiveling hips. Imagine. These were bad boys, too (and one of my favorite all time bands). Anyway, for Anthony or…Continue Reading…
Well, I have no idea if that’s true. But Anthony Watts needs to stop crying crocodile tears about being called a “denier” if he’s going to put up posts like this one. Here’s the headline: Charles Manson becomes an advocate for global warming You climate skeptics get the point? What about you, Anthony?
It would be so entertaining, wouldn’t it? Can someone please cut through the BS for me and explain what is going on with their dueling posts on this Berkley Earth Temperature Station business? Romm’s latest contains not one but two “bombshells,” a “wow” and a “double wow.” He also says that he meant all along to…Continue Reading…
