The Climate Discussion Nexus

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with the Earth passing the first of an endless series of catastrophic climate tipping points that might be reversible or not even exist, this one dooming coral eventually unless it recovers, the actually doomed subsidized EV industry, global heating causing snow on Everest utterly unprecedented in the last, um, six years, Mark Carney spewing carbon as he flies hither and yon promoting the views behind his vaunted GFANZ that just collapsed, and climate cancel culture, moving on to a plan from people who claim to love nature to make solar power work by turning night into day and some zealot who thinks if Russia got a bit warmer Putin would be in huge geopolitical trouble, and wrapping up with a #HaveItBothWays installment on rainfall in the Sahel, a strong argument that the all-time temperature record of 134F in Death Valley in 1913 didn't actually happen, and from the CO2Science archive evidence that European Larch has a boring name but 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 Britain's Met Office exhausting the alternatives then doing the right thing and withdrawing data they just invented from weather stations that closed years ago, more delusions about alternative energy and basic biology, early snow and more "experts say", moving on to the crawling pace of Canada's EV charging stations, the Earth becoming less reflective which increases warming for reasons unrelated to CO2, climate obsessives, and the Canadian government thinking the solution to failed climate ambitions is more ambition not better planning, and wrapping up with a #HaveItBothWays installment on plants moving uphill due to warming or downhill instead, another climate science scandal via Roger Pielke Jr. and from the CO2Science archive evidence that a plant with the displeasing name of Sticky Snakeroot likes CO2 more than people like it.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with the chattering classes in the West making excuse after excuse for Communist China including on climate, fatuous praise and concerns for Mark Carney's "climate competitiveness", more on Carney's high-flying hypocrisy and vacuity, moving on to the Philippines protecting the most "climate resilient" corals when you'd think they'd protect the vulnerable ones, real progress cleaning up the Chicago River by focusing on real pollution, claims that you can't run a marathon if it's 86F, Michael Mann stepping down or being pushed as University of Pennsylvania "Vice Provost for Climate Science", and claims of exceptional drought that happens a lot, and wrapping up with a #HaveItBothWays installment on plants spewing methane, the models exaggerating Greenland ice melting, and from the CO2Science archive evidence that a plant with the absurd name of Darwin Woollybutt might not like CO2 very much.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with the way in which alarmists peddle the failure of Arctic ice to set another record low for the 13th straight year as something extraordinary, the hypocrisy of Carbon Carney jetting about lecturing people including on climate, the claim that Earth has now breached seven of nine critical we-are-all-going-to-die thresholds without any ill effects, more left-wing enabling of Communist China, more journalists no longer caring about whales, and wrapping up with a #HaveItBothWays installment on the salinity of the North Atlantic and the AMOC, the fine print on a study of climate change devastating crops that says it won't but we must cut emissions anyway, and from the CO2Science archive evidence that while the Sydney Blue Gum is not blue, it does love 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 way in which Arctic ice is rebounding from its 2012 low no matter how often alarmists and heir models tell it not to, or shout that it isn't, it can't be, and the stampede to attribution science with its sure-fire rubbish findings, people obsessed with climate and their expensive follies, moving on to more of the Canadian government pivoting on climate but not, journalists who think plant food kills plants, more grudging honesty about alternative energy costs, more stubbornness about the active hurricane season that wasn't, and wrapping up with a #HaveItBothWays installment climate and North Sea cod, the fact that the total ferocity as well as total number of North Atlantic hurricanes is low this year, and from the CO2Science archive evidence that the stay-at-home Narrowheart Lovegrass is not pining for lower CO2.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with the clickbait Nature study in which weather attribution wizards pin heatwaves on specific companies so they can be sued not so we will understand climate better, moving on to some honesty about alternative energy costs, more lunacy from experts say, European record wildfires all the way back to... um... 2003 and Bryce rubbishing McKibben, and wrapping up with a #HaveItBothWays installment on climate change and malaria, stunning news that the massive Pacific Northwest heatwave of 2021 labelled "impossible" without climate change was just like one in ... um... 1941, and the CO2Science archive evidence that the rock-star-named Weeping Lovegrass is not crying over CO2.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with the impudent way journalists put some variant of "experts say" in a headline where "random leftist who thinks like me says" would be more honest and accurate, the UK having the "hottest summer ever" if you believe data from a hundred non-existent stations and Canada's pivot away from climate zealotry and right back toward it again, evidence that tidal gauges have it right and satellites have it wrong on sea level rise, and from the CO2Science archive evidence that the Emblic tree, once hailed by Buddhists, takes a wise attitude to CO2.
