The Climate Discussion Nexus

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter, starting with those jostling to replace Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as head of the Liberal party suddenly backpeddling frantically from the carbon taxes they long championed, alarmists clinging to the Paris Agreement as it sinks like a stone, a victory for whales against wind power, faux scientific panic over Africa splitting apart, and moving on to another attack on gas stoves and more babbling about how heat causes snow, alarmists thinking it should be OK to destroy art if your motives are like their motives, a sudden renunciation of the "blame game" on wildfires, at least in California, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp item on the Global Wildfire Information System showing that such fires are getting less damaging not more worldwide, evidence that Greenland really was green hundreds of thousands of years ago with much lower CO2, and that willows love the stuff.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter, starting with the fact that winter seems to have much of the Northern Hemisphere firmly in its icy grasp despite propaganda about global heating, and the financial implosion and literal combustion of EVs and their batteries, and Canadian politicians fleeing carbon taxes as if someone else had spent a decade promoting them, and moving on to "climate whiplash" making San Francisco foggier and less foggy, both terrible of course, and Mark Carney running for the Canadian Liberal leadership just as his international net zero banking house of cards collapses, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp item on NOAA's precipitation record, particularly for Los Angeles in the winter, Patric Brown blowing another whistle, this time on Extreme Event Attribution, and news that birch likes CO2.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with the climate-alarmist vultures swooping on Los Angeles with data-free claims about drier winters and unprecedented fires, instead of focusing on massive progressive government failures, the stubborn failure of winter to vanish, sea sponges sneezing slowly for hundreds of millions of years due to climate change, Ottawa having a record moist year that's just more weather, a silly call for scientists finally to abandon "neutrality" and become climate zealots, and "don't do us any more favours" news from the CO2Science.org archive that Brussels sprouts like CO2.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with data-free claims that 2024 had just about the worst weather ever, the fact that Britain is having a tough winter, the popularity of cli-fi among alarmists who find actual data just isn't scary enough, a call we endorse for more honesty and straight talking on "climate policy and action", the crumbling of Mark Carney's Net-Zero Banking Alliance, a study out of China showing that tropical cyclones aren't getting worse, if anything they're getting less severe, and "what's up doc?" news from the CO2Science.org archive that carrots are thanks to good old CO2 or the good new kind.

In this "Fact Check" video from the Climate Discussion Nexus, Dr. John Robson examines instant claims that the fires in and around Los Angeles were caused, or made far worse, by man-made climate change, and finds them unsound.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with the predictable ignominious collapse of the supposedly vital talks on plastic and the environment in Busan, South Korea, and moving on to Canada's "Captain Carbon" flying about constantly along with various other climate hypocrites, the cucumbers of climate death, Scientific American remaining climate-obsessed, and wrapping up with an installment of our #GreenBlackout series on what's in the IPCC's endless summaries, a Washington Post "Fact Check" on Donald Trump's Energy Secretary nominee Chris Wright of Liberty Energy that was shallow and wrong, and evidence that cantaloupe loves CO2 even if some of us don't love cantaloupe.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with spuriously precise tallies of what various sectors contribute to human GHGs that go way past 100% and moving on to Australia's energy transition to shortages and blather, the "Fire department effect" with exploding lithium batteries, freezing weather in the "Hottest Year Ever(TM)", journalists too lazy to Google "snow in Saudi Arabia" but telling us all about what it means, sudden enthusiasm for geothermal among the herd of independent minds, Javier Vinos on the hopeless performance of climate models, condescending elitists condescending about their condescension on science, and wrapping up with an installment of our #GreenBlackout series on what's in the IPCC's synthesis reports, a new study revising ocean temperatures upward in the early 20th century and saying it too is proof of man-made warming, a UK journalist finding that the Met Office doesn't just report data from badly sited monitoring stations but from a hundred non-existent ones, and evidence that Kentucky bluegrass may be neither blue nor in Kentucky but it sure loves CO2.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with why the failure of COP29 was predictable and moving on to alarmists trying to stifle debate on BSky, people convinced peak oil is upon us despite the evidence, a journalist who bathed in oil in Azerbaijan and was apparently surprised at getting sticky, a Guardian journalist mocking Jaguar's move to produce DEI not cars, the bankruptcy of Northvolt making fools of EV-subsidizing politicians, some bad weather the press didn't blame on climate because it was cold or smoggy, Oxford and the UN trying to prevent open debate on climate, and wrapping up with an installment of our #GreenBlackout series on what's in the IPCC's Technical Summaries, the fact that your country is warming at twice the average rate because the land is warming faster than the oceans, a rigged panel on attribution science, faux scary numbers on melting Greenland ice, and evidence that canola too loves CO2.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with the failure of COP29 because climate alarmists are wildly impractical people and moving on to Azerbaijan as a petrostate underlining how dependent on fossil fuels humans are, the absurdity of peddling low-carbon plane rides, Canada's redesign-the-whole-economy-just-like-that politicians being unable even to create plugs for EVs, wind farms gobbling subsidies, Canada's Climate Change minister flinging billions around like pocket change while maintaining we skeptics are lavishly funded, Germany as the disastrous test case for the green energy transition, Gavin Schmidt and Zeke Hausfather commendably admitting the science is not settled, and wrapping up with a new #GreenBlackout series on the IPCC concealing global greening due to rising atmospheric CO2, the pointless war on farming to stop harmless nitrous oxide, a failed piece of lawfare, a new computer model that shows humans contribute little to warming, and Tony Heller finding a ferocious storm that hit the Great Lakes in, um, 1835, before we had climate while, for better or worse, rising CO2 also means more green beans yum yum.
