Rajan's Take: Climate Change: Sceptics winning the climate debate through power of blogging! WUWT the case study.

Financially, it was an unequal battle with the odds stacked highly against sceptics. The sceptics used no-cost social media, particularly blogs as their communication weapon. The rest was history. Leading the charge was the blog WUWT administered by Anthony Watts, a former TV meteorologist. In 5 years, the blog received a whopping 124,746,322 hits. This made WUWT not only the world's most viewed climate science blog but also the worlds most popular science blog.

Acknowledging the power of climate sceptics, the University of Colorado is holding a Communications Seminar using WUWT as a case study.
