The Weblog Is Retiring

After writing this weblog since July 2005, I have decided to retire it.  It has been a very effective venue to present a wider range of viewpoints than were typically available elsewhere during the earlier period of my posts. In recent years, of course, a range of excellent weblogs that serve this purpose have appeared [e.g. see the long list of weblogs (cataloged by their different perspectives) at the right hand side of  Watts Up with That.  Most of them also permit Comments, which I stopped doing several years ago.

I want to spend more of my time on research papers.  The time I have been using to prepare the weblog posts can now be used effectively on peer-reviewed research papers. I also am completing the third edition of my modeling book, which will require significant time.

The past weblog posts will remain on-line for the indefinite future.  I very much appreciate all of the excellent input from the readers of my weblog! I plan to continue to publish and will be using that venue to present my views.

With Best Wishes to All of You!

My Climate Science Weblog Will Be Offline Wednesday August 19 2009

Climate Science will be offline Wednesday August 19 2009 in order to convert over to a new version of Word Press.  This important upgrade is courtesy of Anthony Watts [of Watts up With That]. Anthony is contributing to an improved understanding of climate science in many ways, and this is just one of his thoughtful contributions!  Thanks Anthony!
