Today is our sixth birthday. Here, with reverse chronology set to annoying, are all the Cliscep posts that attracted at least a hundred comments. I’m not saying they’re the best posts but, as system admin and interested lurker, I think it’s an interesting metric to track.
Nice to see Brad Keyes, the current record holder, commenting earlier today!

Climate Scepticism 
A useful reminder there of what this site owes to past contributors, and of some very interesting articles in the past. I wonder if it might be an idea to resurrect, maybe once a month, an article from the past, and give it some prominence? (I know they are all readily accessible, but I’m guessing many people concentrate on recent articles and comments). Given the quality of much that has appeared here in the last 6 years, I’d like to think it would be of interest to recent visitors.

Having decided that it was my duty to report the quantum of global warming that has transpired during the period of Cliscep’s machinations, I attach a plot of the last 6 years’ lower tropospheric temperature as reported by UAH, May 2015 – May 2021. The opening value was +0.14 K (the baseline is now 1991-2020).
The
closing
value
was

+0.08 K, for a net global warming over the 6 years of -0.06 K, or -0.01 K/yr. At this rate, at the centenary, etc, etc
(Apologies for the garish colour scheme; having realised that I was not restricted to black and white, I tried to get into the party spirit, and failed.)

A spectacular mountain range of averaged data, signifying not much. What if we were celebrating our first anniversary, would/should we have worried?
Actually I like the use of high-confidence colour, but why advertise blueberries?
