  • Is Climate Change A Religion?

    In this "Fact Check" video from the Climate Discussion Nexus, Dr. John Robson asks whether global warming has become a religion or even a cult, with so many activists claiming God Himself is a climate alarmist.

  • Memorandum Of Gooblahoy

    Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with the supposed Memorandum of Understanding that would let Canada pivot from climate mania to building oil pipelines that was no understanding and barely a memorandum, the arrival of winter once again surprising the smart set, Scientific American claiming the oil industry actually wants to pollute the Earth horribly, moving on to more government prattle in place of productivity in Canada, zealots thinking government subsidies prove something is competitive, New York turning on BlackRock for not being green enough, Canada winning the "Fossil of the Day award" at COP30, a real story about toxic Chinese mines polluting Asian rivers and groundwater, and wrapping up with another installment in our #DOEDeepDive look at this summer's "red team" climate report from the U.S. Department of Energy, this time on how unreliable calculations of "radiative forcing" are, especially since it seems the Earth is radiating more heat than it used to and nobody knows why, and from the CO2Science.org archive Knobby Club Rush (no really) also liking CO2.

  • Dirty 30

    Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with the revealing hypocrisy of COP30 being a polluting event staged amid real pollution that the delegates ignored, and being futile which delegates also ignored, the shocking discovery that Chinese bamboo tissue paper isn't greener than the Western wooden stuff because... China burns so much coal to power its economy, people thinking retrofitting a parking lot will fix the weather, winter returning in winter, and more green-tech pie-in-the-sky, moving on to the Sierra Club shedding members as it turns into the red green show, alarmists cherry-picking bad weather, the failed Canadian pivot from climate zealotry to "climate competitiveness", New York not making it on the green energy transition either, and wrapping up with a long-term ocean cooling trend, the first installment in our #DOEDeepDive look at this summer's "red team" climate report from the U.S. Department of Energy, and from the CO2Science.org archive Sheep Fescue, which sheep don't like though golf course designers do and which itself likes CO2.

  • Peak Oil Doesn't

    Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with the International Energy Agency putting down its climate zealotry and backing away at least on "peak oil", a lot of other alarmists now claiming they were always secretly non-hysterical despite appearances, the end of The End Of Winter As We Know It (again), and moving on to the way that harsh anti-conventional-energy policy tends to lower the quality as well as the amount of investment, zealots wanting to decarbonize Canada's failing health-care system, having at least some protestors show up for COP30, snobs clinging to alarmism, and wrapping up with a #HaveItBothWays installment on drought in Britain, climate fingerprinting framing humanity, and from the CO2Science.org archive Myrtle Spurge, a plant not a comic character, enjoying CO2.

  • Finally A Real Tipping Point

    Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with an apparently real climate tipping point, away from hysterical alarmism, including the collapse of the "Dairy Methane Action Alliance", moving on to someone blaming slumping oat milk sales on climate doom-and-gloom rhetoric, the New York Times fiddling graphics to save climate policy while destroying it, and wrapping up with a #HaveItBothWays installment on warming in the Antarctic Peninsula, Grok declaring that there's no climate crisis, and from the CO2Science.org archive Water Fern, which is Mosquito Fern if you hate it and Water Velvet if you like it, disregarding your views and slurping up the CO2 regardless.

  • The Gates Of Perception

    Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with Bill Gates' sudden insight that things like malaria are worse than tiny temperature increases, especially for the poor and vulnerable, excessive hype about Hurricane Melissa, fine English wine and Inside Climate News noting that a Chinese-financed hydroelectric dam in Indonesia threatened a rare orangutan, moving on to more evidence that the failure of the green energy transition is no longer a taboo subject, the difficulty many alarmists have with scale, including just how big the Earth is (including a hare-brained scheme to fix the weather by burying wood), and wrapping up with a #HaveItBothWays installment on "debris flow events" in the Swiss Alps, the Antarctic Peninsula not warming fast or at all, and from the CO2Science.org archive fenugreek allegedly tasting like maple syrup and certainly liking CO2.

  • Coral Blimey, Mate

    Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with Bjorn Lomborg again cancelling the often-scheduled but never held funeral for the Great Barrier Reef, alarmist clutching at Hurricane Melissa with unseemly relief, and the unreasonable cost of EV charging points, moving on to Carbon Carney's ongoing shameless constant jet travel, another EV battery fire, Scientific American insisting that the Earth warming for non-CO2-related reasons just made CO2 worse, the Atlantic blaming Trump for deforestation in the Amazon while COP30 was busy deforesting the Amazon, and claims that climate change is making people crazy (they speak for themselves) and hurting sparrows and killing South Korean fishermen, and wrapping up with a #HaveItBothWays installment on accelerating sea level rise, scientists surprised that Arctic ice had stopped melting getting over it and claiming they secretly saw it coming, and from the CO2Science archive encouragement to make more and more buckwheat pancakes because that stuff, which is not wheat, does like CO2.
