Wattsupwiththat
Watts Up With That? (WUWT for short) is a weather and climate commentary site (blog), created in 2006 by California meteorologist Anthony Watts, that reports on anthropogenic global warming-related issues from a standpoint skeptical of environmentalism. The tagline of the blog is "News and commentary on puzzling things in life, nature, science, weather, climate change, technology, and recent news." The blog features a regular list of contributors, including Indur Goklany, and guest authors, such as Judith Curry, Christopher Monckton and S. Fred Singer.
Watts Up With That? often features content related to Watts' climate and temperature data projects, including his Surface Stations temperature data research project, his urban heat island transect project, and his Stevenson screen paint experiment.
In November 2009, the blog was one of the first websites to publish emails and documents from the Climatic Research Unit controversy. Because of its high traffic numbers, the blog played a key role in the resulting controversy.
The site receives more than two million visits per month and has been described as the "world's most viewed climate website." Observers and critics have noted the blog's influence and role in the debate over global warming science on the Internet.
WUWT won the Bloggies in 2011, 2012 and 2013 for best science blog, and in 2013 for best weblog overall. It was recognized by The Times as one of the top 30 science blogs of 2009. It was voted the "Best Science Blog" in the 2008 Weblog Awards.
