Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., beginning with the usual suspects pouncing on Hurricane Helene as proof of climate change because a tornado hit during tornado season, moving on to solar flares that could devastate electronic communication as one more issue being ignored in the CO2 panic, the politics of climate, a columnist channelling dead artists in a failed lunge for credibility, Everest rising, the German economy falling, imaginary American climate refugees, bad climate journalism, and wrapping up with another of our #CheerfulCharts, on Moore's law, hurricanes then and now, and bell peppers also loving CO2.

Dr. John Robson checks in from Baku, Azerbaijan on the third day of COP29, and worries that everyone seems to be saying exactly the same thing not just on major issues but on minor points, and none of them seem to be worried about the arid, unproductive conformity.

Dr. John Robson checks in from Baku, Azerbaijan on the second day of COP29, and voices a growing suspicion that it's two conferences in one, an outer colourful freak show and an insider meeting where you're lucky to get a video briefing.
