In this "Fact Check" video from the Climate Discussion Nexus, Dr. John Robson shows that a major Canadian bank gave clients easily disproven advice about climate and particularly hurricanes and suggests they listen to CDN not Greenpeace.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with the absurdity of treating warmth in summer as usual, let alone scary, the Canadian government trying to pivot on climate without turning, and the hypocrisy of climate zealot Jeff Bezos's lavish jet-set wedding and its celebrity guests, moving on to an absurd response to UHI, climate panic hurting the unborn and the pundit who agonized over whether to tell her kids the world is burning (it's not), and world ends, women, children and lunatics hardest hit, AI saving climate while destroying it, the US grid crumbling and climate change threatening human survival... in one million BC because of cold, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp on how much money climate alarmists really have while claiming skeptics are venal, and the totally unsettled science on clouds and climate.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with the Canadian government discovering that we don't want EVs and spewing word salad about making us buy them anyway, then praising Climate Home News for wondering if sustainable fuels really are but condemning them for missing the main point, and people worrying about climate anxiety, then moving on to a failed New York Times prediction about vanishing US beaches 30 years ago, Canada's vanished hydrogen highway, blather about heatwaves, evidence that attribution science is all attribution and no science, the zealots lurching toward COP30, and a major finding that the classic isotope test for human contributions to atmospheric CO2 misses a major natural source, and Roger Pielke Jr. asking what scientists thought would happen if they politicized their own fields, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp on tornado alley, a stunning finding that Antarctica set all-time modern-era low temperatures that were dismissed as just weather, and CO2 benefitting Common Water Hyacinth where it belongs and where some say it does not.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with ludicrous claims that we know climate change will make it harder to find submarines using sonar in 2080 to the computers saying one thing and actual records quite another about whether May 2025 was the second-hottest on record and green hydrogen breaking the bank in Australia, and hopes that government will rush in where corporations fear to tread on Net Zero, plus an honest article about dramatic climate variability in the past, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp on the how futile the IPCC's own models say cutting CO2 emissions would be, a study saying the hockey stick has no blade, and CO2 benefitting Eastern Purple Coneflower aka Echinacea purpurea. So give those herbal remedies some carbon love.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with Antarctic sea ice hitting a record high that climate alarmists tried to melt with a glare, Europeans turning on Tesla, carbon-free rum, claims that both Pakistan and Greece are no longer suitable for tourism (the latter having just set an all-time record for visits), moving on to when U.S. states really set their June heat records, bad political hygiene by alarmists, a tribute to Stompin' Tom Connors over spending $200 trillion on pointless green technology, and the claim that if CO2 is helping plants grow they're still sickly, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp on the decline in unusually hot days in the US, a silly story about ice melting on the Arctic "continent", and CO2 benefitting the "Dragon's Blood" tree which could use a break as it's stuck in Yemen's civil war.

In this "Fact Check" video from the Climate Discussion Nexus, Dr. John Robson contrasts the professed climate concerns of the rich and famous with their jetting and yachting to Jeff Bezos's extravagant Venice wedding and concludes that they aren't hypocrites, they're a privileged elite who expect to swan about to exotic locales trailing clouds of carbon while you walk to whatever shabby uninteresting place you're going.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with climate alarmists charging forward as their positions crumble, the coming of standard summer heatwave hysteria and with it panic, and yet more melting ice sheets, moving on to a plan to restore the credibility of universities, normal science where the unexpected is welcomed, the backlash against rising energy prices and the weird alarmist love of bureaucracy, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp on flooding in the US, the slow start to hurricane season, and CO2 benefitting "Hairy Crabgrass" which is a plant not a Hollywood Western sidekick.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with the surprising and commendably rapid decision of the Canada Pension Fund Investment Board to ditch its Net Zero by 2050 pledge, the unstoppable alternative energy revolution stopping when the subsidies are withdrawn and Michael Mann getting another sockdolager in court, moving on to foolish alarmist claims about the past from agriculture to the Medieval Warm period to unprecedented modern heat, the Washington Post declaring that we're all doomed but not shutting up even though they say it's too late anyway and the end of the Billion Dollar Disaster disaster, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp on indoor air pollution, the mystery of declining cloud cover, and CO2 benefitting barnyard grass whether you like it or not.

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with the surprisingly surprising news that Communist China has been putting cyberwar "kill switches" into green transition hardware and the New York Times being obsessed with climate and insurance, moving on to what's really wrong in California, how cheaper alternative energy in Ontario is costing ratepayers a fortune, yet another EV subsidy down the drain, and another one, a New York Times writer thinking evidence on climate doesn't convince the dopey public, the nonsense about 2024 being the hottest year "ever", and wrapping up with a #LookItUp on the non-transition, Roy Spencer's new paper on the Urban Heat Island effect in the US, and CO2 benefitting purple foxglove which you should look at but not touch.
