Hi there Everybody,
First let me want you all happiness and good cheer, wherever you’re. I wish to thank everybody for his or her participation and the commentary at WUWT this previous yr, for with out you, this could simply be a distant and unknown nook of the Web.
We’ve completed rather a lot this yr. We’ve added distinctive and related AI generated however user-directed photographs as a function for our head-post illustrations, which provides WUWT a particular potential as an example and poke enjoyable at a few of the points and folks we cowl. We’ve added different new options such because the Failed Local weather Prediction Timeline. We’ve had contests for essays on local weather change. We’ve added new graphics to the sidebar as an example the state of temperature for the U.S. and the world you gained’t see elsewhere. We now have just lately up to date the Every thing Local weather reference web site to be a part of WUWT – it was initially a separate URL however we had troubles protecting it managed and dealing correctly as a result of inside WordPress points. We’ve added a web page displaying that extreme climate is just not actually getting worse regardless of what the media tells you. We’re preventing again towards the assumption that local weather associated doom is simply across the nook… with details, and we’ll proceed to take action.
We handed the 500 million views mark this yr – no different local weather associated web site can declare this. Many haven’t stood the check of time, disappeared, or have turn out to be inactive. We’re nonetheless right here. Lots of our hostile screeching detractors at these web sites have disappeared as properly.
THANKS
I additionally want to sincerely thank these of you which have contributed funds to WUWT in sums each large and small. I thank these of you recognized and unknown, who’ve saved us afloat. Regardless of the fevered fantasies of our detractors, we’ve but to get a single penny from “large oil.” Hell, we will’t even run Google Adwords anymore to generate some compensation as we’ve got been banned as a result of we publish issues which can be counter to the alarmist local weather narrative and Google determined to hearken to indignant fools, as a substitute of realists. But we persist, regardless of the efforts to starve and silence us with search engine and social media suppression.
I’d prefer to thank our detractors as properly, it’s due to your inane pigheadedness and resistance to logic and details that we’ve got the inspiration to maneuver ahead. Even a lot of our pretend commenters are worthy of a thanks, besides in fact, “Griff,” who chickened out after we went to a registration requirement to remark. What I’ve discovered is that almost all of our detractors are merely cowards.
After which there’s the truth that one in every of these nameless cowards doxed me this yr. I’m preventing on that entrance too. I can’t say extra presently, however up to now the regulation is in my favor.
Most significantly, I would really like thank the many individuals who maintain the positioning operating every day with upkeep, updates, and visitor contributions. Each Charles Rotter and Eric Worrall deserve particular thanks for his or her tireless efforts at updating and bettering the positioning. I thank Willis Eschenbach for his common information pushed investigations. Behind the scenes, I thank Jim Secola who has been whittling away on the 1000’s of damaged hyperlinks and lacking photographs in older posts.

THE FUTURE
This coming yr can even be a yr of progress and alter. I wish to provide you with a peek into the long run.
- I’m establishing an Web TV studio. I’ve been working slowly on it for a couple of yr. The problem for me is to make it work with my listening to points whereas making it look skilled like I did throughout my a few years of dwell tv climate. The studio can be for weekly dwell broadcasts and for making educational movies.
- With the brand new studio, there can be a daily weekly dwell interactive broadcast at WUWT to debate the problems. That can be a subscriber primarily based occasion. A subscriber primarily based weekly publication can also be within the works.
- Alongside these strains, I’m engaged on a 24/7/365 dwell “ClimateTV” channel that may run movies, graphics, information, information gadgets, and leisure. I’ve achieved some check runs and it’s trying good. There’s nonetheless way more work to do earlier than I launch. This can be free and public, although we might run promoting on it.
- We can be updating the “Reference Pages” – they’ve been damaged, primarily by WordPress cache points which makes any repair disappear rapidly, however our resident author and programmer Eric Worrall has give you a plugin that may clear up this long-standing downside that forestalls us from displaying dwell info. Our aim is to turn out to be the “one-stop-shop” for all local weather info, particularly the issues you’ll be able to’t discover elsewhere.
- Eric Worrall is engaged on a WUWT App, each for Android and Apple telephones. This can be made obtainable to everybody without spending a dime. The problem was to make one which neither Google or Apple can “shut down.” We’ve acquired that discovered. I’ve examined it and it’s a nice begin, we simply want a bit extra tweaking earlier than launch in early 2024.
- We can be including new subjects to the Every thing Local weather part – be at liberty to make options.
- We’ll do a web site overhaul, to go to a extra trendy theme that’s higher for velocity and search engine marketing. Our present theme is over six years outdated and it’s creaking underneath the load. It has no replace path.
- I wish to do a month-to-month “state of the local weather” report, very like NOAA does, however from a perspective of sensibility. If funds allow, I’ll ship out press releases every month to all media retailers. PRNewswire is just not low-cost.
- I’ve designed and prototyped a unbelievable alternative for the NOAA MMTS temperature measurement station that’s inexpensive, automated, correct, and most significantly largely immune from native website biases as I outlined in my 2022 Corrupted Local weather Stations report. I’ll want folks to fund stations and check it on location. Something the federal government can do by contract, could be achieved higher by folks with dedication. NOAA has turn out to be the “DMV” of floor temperature measurement. Extra on that later.
FINALLY – A REQUEST FOR SUPPORT
Doing all this not solely takes time and selfless dedication, it takes funds. Since we’ll by no means get a dime from “large oil” nor even “large tech” now that Google has prevented us from operating promoting, I’ve to beg. I hate doing this and it has been awhile since I’ve requested. With out my asking, a lot of you could have turn out to be common contributors through a month-to-month program with PayPal, whereas others have despatched bigger one-time sums to maintain us going. I thank each one in every of you.
