This site is a source of rumour, Conspiracy-Pseudoscience and, as such is an unreliable source of information or news. Apparently one major goal of this site is to debunk human influenced climate change, based upon unproven and inaccurate claims. See: ***** ***** Untrustworthy.

By far the most-read blog on things of scientific interest with a focus on climate change but including other items from astronomy, space exploration, and other topics of particular interest to engineers and scientists, who form the basic readership. I've been reading this blog for many years and am constantly struck with admiration for the wide knowledge of many of the commenters. It is true that the site has its share of trolls, attention seekers, and particularly political conservatives whose hatred of socialism colors their commentary. I am basically liberal so that annoys me, but I am also a scientist and appreciate the scientific views that can be found here and almost no other place on the Web. (although Jo Nova in Australia, James Delingpole, Matt Ridley, and Christopher Booker (sadly now gone) in England, Marcel Crok in the Netherlands, and a few other points of light in the present hysteria) are also excellent sources of information.

Excellent evidence-based science site. All data and processes disclosed so you can check for yourself. It's rather sad to read previous comments that promote consensus views or those with a social bias that have no place in a scientific discussion.

I have delved deep into the claims of articles here a dozen times. and Every Time I see dishonesty. I follow the links, the links are either - to disreputed "Journals", -Or- more reputable journals that get wildly Misrepresented. Time lines are cherry picked to make specious claims that the climate is not really warming. It's not that I -disagree-, it's the dishonesty in the way the claims are represented and the "support" is Mis-represented. Its Reliably wrong about everything. There's been evidence that the "popularity" of this site is inflated by just clicks and sock puppets, and "award winning" is a fabrication.

He's funded by Heartland Institute who's funded by Exxon to contradict ethical and consensus science on anthropogenic climate change. He has zero academic degrees, zero peer-reviewed research. The one thing he's good at is is fooling readers into doubting experts and scientific consensus that Exxon fears will thwart their billions and billions of dollars of annual profit.

Blogger Anthony Watts is a popular source of climate contrarian memes funded by Heartland Institute (known for their disinformation ***** ***** ).  Although some commenting is permitted, Watts does not fully correct or remove his mistakes and allows them to propagate.  It's not just that what he writes is untrustworthy, I don't even trust him to read correctly: in hxxp://wattsupwiththat.com/2016/01/21/failed-math-in-1997-noaa-claimed-that-the-earth-was-5-63-degrees-warmer-than-today/ he ignores the disclaimer in what he's basing his blog entries on.

The content of this AGW denier site is not trustworthy.  The glaciers are disappearing, the earth is warming, and man is responsible.Dangerously irresponsible, and funded by the Heartland Institute, if you believe the offal published here you are obviously part of the problem.

Mr. Watts - a paid-for climate change / global warming denier - has no education in climate science [1] and continuously demonstrates this through factual errors [2], inability to change his mind when confronted by opposing evidence [3], and trying to profit off of misinformation. [4] The scientific consensus on the topic is clear and this page is a waste of time and money for those gullible enough to see it as a reliable source of information.

A science website, largely concerned with climate change. Unlike many opinions from trolls, this is in fact a scientific website and not pseudoscience; it simply takes a different view of interpreting the data and exposes manipulated data. Contrary to popular opinion, there is no such thing as "settled science" and the peer review process involving climate science has been exposed as corrupt. Scientists that look into climate have had their funding pulled if they conclude anything other than climate change being catastrophic and solely caused by humanity. Many papers have only been reviewed by scientists that all share the same opinion. This is a public peer review science website with essays and opinions posts. Commenters include everyone from laymen to respected scientists, all who participate in working on the science. Many papers posted to the website have been disproven by the commenters. That is the very essence of science. People against this website are dogmatic believers in a religion, not science. And they prove that with every downvote.
