Anthony in the comments notes that it's a site trawling for links. I've removed the link accordingly. My moment of glory gone!

Bish - you've beaten WUWT to 11th place!!!!
Not that this was a competition, nor a ranking site - but it still is nice ... congrats!
What a fine broad list, with generous comments on every blog. It will drive the extremists crazy! 'Mustn't listen to anyone else', 'the science is settled', 'we held a seminar', '97%', etc etc
Very Late Heads Up..
At a seminar tommorrow at Reading University.(Walker Institute)

Why scienitists must talk to the media!

I can't make it, I have my three year old all day..
remeber this is the man that 'scooped' the 10:10 'No Pressure' video,and thought it was very good.
contact the organiser: Kathy in that link.
Bish,
Note the title of the website. It's adword flypaper stuck on a topic...thousands of these sites exist.
Sorry to be the fly in the ointment, but I got the same email you did. I chose not to post on it since the list is just a list with advertising stuck on it, nothing more.

Thanks. I've taken the link down.
There's even an acronym for these sites: MFA - Made for Adwords
As Anthony says, the web is full of stuff like this
Re Barry Woods' comment - the Walker Institute website lists two research partneships:
"We are working with the Queensland Government to better understand the risks to agriculture, water resources and businesses from a changing climate."
and
"We are working with Indian scientists to improve forecasts of the Indian monsoon and to assess how it will be affected by climate change."
We're doomed, we're doomed!
What a pity. It is so informative to provoke zealots by saying a kind word about one of their forbidden sites that I was looking forward to their attacks on what turns out to be a phony site. Maybe the calm, cool, and collected faction of the climate debate could create more such sites, as Red Rags to draw out the ire and the bile of the agitated, hot-headed, and conformist faction? What more joy than to see a Gore, a Pachauri, a Romm, a Trenberth, a Monbiot, or a Schmidt, not to mention any one of a dozen 'environment correspondents' from the BBC/Guardian/Independent school of fawning obedience, getting stuck into a Red Rag Site (RRS). That might give more thoughtful people a little more peace, and maybe even help more people see the CO2 campaign in all its dismal turpitude.
Philhippos - what irony!
Walker Institute website lists:
"We are working with the Queensland Government to better understand the risks to agriculture, water resources and businesses from a changing climate."
Well if they are about, they could join the bucket and spade brigade in good old sunny QLD.
While they're at it, they could listen to the old folks.
They may even learn from them that the climate always changes.
There is no need to better understand the QLD climate.
What is needed is better planning for the next major flood.
It's not a risk - it's a certainty.
"It's the climate, stupid" as a recent president almost said.
