Now there’s a birthday present for you! Congrats!
Fantastic!
Congratulations!
ClimateProgress is the first on my list anyway. I check it out a few times a day.
Joe:
Congratulations and well-deserved!
Congrats But (or And) . . .
Al Gore and the IPCC get the Nobel Prize. Barack Obama wins “best candidate for President” in November of 2008. Andy Revkin gets a big award from CJR. Climate Progress is chosen by Time Magazine as one of the 25 best blogs of 2010. All the major bona fide scientific organizations in the U.S. join together and write a letter to Senators about the reality and urgent importance of climate change. AND YET . . .
We are still completely addicted to our use of oil and coal and to the broader status quo! We (all of us) are still largely staying within our comfort zones and not doing the sorts of things that will be necessary in order to bring about wise change wisely and effectively.
(To be clear, I congratulate Climate Progress and you, Joe, for the great and hard work, and for the well-deserved recognition, and for the clarity you provide to audiences on these important issues. I always look forward to reading Climate Progress and occasionally commenting. But, we aren’t moving the needle nearly as much as it desperately needs to be moved. In the overall mix of things — i.e., the various climate and energy blogs and initiatives and events and stuff — something big is missing. In my view, we all need to “wake up”, ask why our efforts are falling short, and make the necessary changes. Here, I’m talking about the entire combination of things, not focusing on Climate Progress.)
That said, congrats for the well-deserved recognition, and welcome to newcomers!
Sigh,
Jeff
Congratulations – keep up the good work. No need to qualify the moment.
Time magazine should also note that in addition to your expertise and leadership, you have designed a blog format offering very current news, providing trusted sources, and open to comment and dialog.
I have learned much. Thanks Joe. Keep it going!
I repeat…..best blog on the planet?..”Climate Progress!”
Congratulations! Well-deserved for your fearless hard work JR!
Yup, ditto @Andy, a nice half-century bday gift and well deserved!
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” Gandhi
Climate Progress is just past the “ignore” stage and is being fought but only by a few true believers. When the attacks come from the major players and institutions (Scaife, Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, Fox, etc.) the change to winning will be breathtaking.
Keep getting noticed! Keep on making inroads!!
Congrats, and a slightly belated happy birthday!
You guys deserve it! – The rest of the list is a bit iffy however. Congrats. Happy birthday and manny thanks for all your great work!
That’s great! The more people hear about you and read you, the better!
Hey, not just in the top 25 but almost at the top of the list! Fantastic!
Climate Progress is definitely the best climate blog, and I’m glad Time recognized it. Plus it’s on the most important subject facing all of us.
You’ve inspired many of us to dig in our heels, study, and keep fighting, which is doing the world- and us- a great service.
Addictive!
Go Joe.
Congratulations for the recognition from Time.
Thanks Joe, for all your effort and dedication to this blog, it is important and necessary work. This site is my #1 source for global warming news! Happy Birthday too!
Top 5 mate…..

Joe knows! Congratulations, now lets get busy and clean up this place!
Hey, man, where are your Screaming electronic Yellow journalistic Zonkers, man. I got the Munchies bad, man, and if this is a one-stop shop for Climate Change, then y’know, you gotta have ‘em, man. And, some papers, too, don’t want to run out, y’know what I’m saying.
[Actually, he was being modest. Climate Progress was in Time's Top 5 for 2010.]
Congratulations Joe. Well deserved for your hard work. I typically read your blog a couple of times a day too.
Highly deserved honor.
Well done.
Way to go, Joe!
Joe, Time had it wrong, you are #1 in my book, those other two are not in your league.
Apparently im only aware of the blog filed under the 3rd position. Never heard of the rest
Well deserved award. Congrats
Congratulations. Well deserved.
Only one point, Joe. You must cast away your anti nuclear religion. Our only hope is generation IV nuclear, or IFR, right?
Congratulations, Joe.
I first came here when Time named you one of their “Heroes of the environment” in 2009, and have returned every day since then. Here’s to hoping some – many – Time’s readers will now go the same way!
Jorleh, @ 28. I do not speak for Joe but to get my vote the cradle to grave costs of Nuclear must be factored into the kW costs. Including insurance. All these years wind has been forced to compete with free dumping fossil. If Nuclear can be competitive great. I also want to see a price on carbon of course. There are small nuclear power plants that might be competitive, (ships, subs), but too much possibility of security breach with hundreds of these around. Plus waste disposal still on the tax payers dime. Just like CO2 from the Fossil Big Boys.
And the really nice thing is that it is true! Keep up the good work!
You set an example for tireless championing. Thank you for carrying this torch and helping me carry it, too. You’re my hero, Joe!
