It appeared about 3:15PM EDT. I expect his may be an attack, since it is a climate skeptic site. BTW, WUWT is an award winning science web site hosted on wordpress.org. These people know what they're doing. I see that you guys are insilicon valley, which is why I saidI trust them more than you.

Oh, wait, you already were redirected from WordPress to the site's own domain. That domain does not have a site-specific certificate, so you can't use HTTPS on that site (at least as of this moment). From clicking the "Advanced" button on the error page:
wattsupwiththat.com uses an invalid security certificate.Emoñe’ẽ ko mbohavái ejeregua reheve 👍 0
The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.pressable.com, pressable.com
Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

The site is hosted on WordPress.com, and that home page is covered by a valid WordPress wildcard SSL certificate (*.wordpress.com).
Do you get errors with other WordPress sites, such as
https://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/
If possible, please try to extract the encoded version of the certificate that Firefox finds untrustworthy. To do that, click the "Advanced" button and see whether you have a SEC_ERROR code that is a link you can click to get the certificate.
More info:
I get redirected via a 302 move permanently response
A server check gives the site A grade for both records.
It looks like it's just WUWT - my site on wordpress (us-issues.com) works fine. (Mine is on wordpress.com, and I think WUWT is on wordpress.org, but I don't think that should make a difference.)
BTW, I tried IE and it doesn't work there either.
Hi Bob_Shapiro, a valid comparison requires a domain name that contains one word followed by .wordpress.com, otherwise the site would use a different certificate. Did the the link I provided earlier work for you?
https://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/
Does this one?
