Anthony Watts Biography

Anthony Watts is one of the most popular and richest Rugby League Player who was born on September 12, 1986 in Gold Coast, Australia. Watts founded Watts Up With That? (WUWT) in the year 2006. The blog has material that challenges the consensus of scientists regarding climate change, such as assertions that the role of humans of global warming minor and carbon dioxide isn’t an important factor in warming. The blog hosts a variety of guest bloggers, including Christopher Monckton and Fred Singer along with Watts. It is one of the most well-known climate denial blogs and is said by climate scientist Michael E. Mann as the most popular, surpassing Climate Audit. The blog in 2010 had nearly half of a million visitors per month. Columbia Journalism School writer Curtis Brainard wrote in the journal that “scientists have repeatedly criticized [Watts] for misleading readers on subjects such as the reliability of the U.S. surface temperature record.”

The Heartland Institute published Watts’ preliminary report on weather station data, titled Is the U.S. Surface Temperature Record Reliable? Watts has appeared as a paid speaker at the International Conference on Climate Change the Heartland Institute have sponsored since 2008.

In 2009, Watts was involved in popularizing the Climatic Research Unit email controversy, wherein emails of several climatologists were published by a hacker. Watts argued that the emails showed the scientists were manipulating data, and while a series of independent investigations cleared the scientists of any wrongdoing, public accusations resulting from the event continued for years. The scientific consensus that global warming is occurring as a result of human activity remained unchanged throughout the investigations, however, the reports may have decreased public confidence in climate scientists and the IPCC, and conclusively altered the Copenhagen negotiations that year.

Watts was an elected participant on the Chico, California school board between 2002 and the year 2006. The year 2006 was the last time he was an applicant for county supervisor to serve as a member of Chico in the Butte County Board of Supervisors however, he decided to withdraw his candidature due to concerns about his family and work.

He was a part of KHSL-TV which is which is a CBS affiliate in Chico, California in 1987 He also founded a business called ItWorks in the same year. He reverted to his initial surname “Willard” to avoid confusion with the NBC’s Today Weatherman Willard Scott. He left KHSL in 2002. quit KHSL to concentrate exclusively on ITWorks full-time. Watts has been the main meteorologist at KPAY, which is a Fox News affiliate based in Chico, California since 2004 as well as the president and director of IntelliWeather Inc, a subsidiary of ItWorks since 2000.

In 2007, Watts launched the Surface Stations project, encouraging volunteers to take photographs of weather stations in the U.S. Historical Climatology Network to record their condition. By 2009, around 650 volunteers had reported on around 70% of the 1,221 stations, and suggested most were below “good or best” reliability. In March 2009 The Heartland Institute published an illustrated report authored by Watts, in which he argued that the surface temperature record in the United States was inaccurate and that the actual temperature was lower than reported. Watts presented pictures from volunteers participating through his website to show that many surface weather stations were situated near artificial heat sources such as pavement and air conditioners, but did not show any comparison of the data from these sites and the data from well situated stations.

Watts helped with the setting up of a radio show at his school of high-school in Indiana and then enrolled in courses in meteorology and electrical engineering in Purdue University, but did not graduate nor earn the degree. The year 1978 was when Watts was able to begin his radio broadcasting career, as a meteorologist on-air for the WLFI-TV station located in Lafayette, Indiana.

Watts says that he approached Heartland in 2011 to ask for help finding a donor to set up a website devoted to presenting NOAA’s data as graphs that are easily accessible to the public. Documents obtained from the Heartland Institute in February 2012 revealed that the Institute had agreed to help Watts raise $88,000 for his project. The documents state that $44,000 had already been pledged by an anonymous donor, and the Institute would seek to raise the rest. Watts has written that, aside from the help in funding this project, the Heartland Institute does not pay him a regular salary or fund his blog.

In March 2011 Watts visited the Berkeley Earth Temperature project (BEST), and said “I’m prepared to accept whatever result they produce, even if it proves my premise wrong.” In October the project released data and a draft of their paper which produced results supporting the existing scientific consensus. Watts said that its methodology was flawed, complaining that the BEST study analyzed a larger period than his own research, and that it was not yet peer reviewed. Richard A. Muller, founder of BEST, later said their study directly addressed Watts’ concern about the condition of weather stations; “we discovered that station quality does not affect the results. Even poor stations reflected temperature changes accurately.”

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) investigated the matter. While acknowledging the suboptimal conditions of many stations, NOAA concluded in 2010 that any bias had been nearly eliminated by their models, which compared stations over regions and time. To the very limited extent that there was any measurement bias, it was in the opposite direction of what Watts expected: stations that were considered poorly situated reported slightly cooler temperatures.

Around 22 July 2012, Watts heard that the BEST project was about to release further material, and decided to release a paper he and Evan Jones had been working on for about a year. On 27 July he blogged that WUWT was suspended until noon on 29 July: “major announcement coming”. The New York Times published a summary of further draft results from BEST, including an announcement from Muller that their study now showed that humans “are almost entirely the cause” of the warming. Shortly afterwards, Watts announced his own team’s draft paper which said that previously reported temperature rises had been “spuriously doubled”, and made the serious accusation that NOAA had inflated the rate by erroneous adjustments to the data. Climate scientists and other bloggers quickly found flaws in the paper. Steve McIntyre, whom Watts had named as a co-author, stressed that his involvement had been “very last minute and limited”. He agreed with criticisms including the point that Watts had failed to correct for time of observation bias, and noted that independent satellite temperature measurements were closer to the NOAA figures.
