    World Off Fire

    John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with more hysteria about wildfires even though as of August 5 every single continent was below the 2012-25 average for fires and North America, Africa and South America were at record lows for that period, the Canadian government being bad at fighting fires then blaming climate, claims that smelly seaweed in Mexico is a new and climate-related problem, and National Geographic not realizing hippopotamus bones in Britain from 120,000 years ago mean it was hotter then, plus an obsession with carbon emissions from ancient Amazonian civilizations, and the alarmists' new obsession with there never having been earthquakes until Henry Ford invented climate, plus climate alarmist realism falling flat, and wrapping up with an installment in our #CanaryInAClimateWorld series on Ian Plimer and the vexed question of natural warmings, a real forest scientist who makes actual predictions about fire based on real data, and the impact of more atmospheric CO2 on Japanese cedar even though it's not cedar and isn't from Japan.

    EuroHeat

    John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with more hysteria about European heatwaves this summer that misrepresents history, more hysteria about wildfires that ignores it, including claiming smoke from them is a new and ominous development, someone blaming the fall of Rome on climate but not, amazingly, on our climate impact, more folly about geoengineering the climate, a story about giant octopodes hunting dinosaurs that mangles science, moving on to news that fire season in Africa is getting shorter but somehow we don't get credit though we'd sure get blamed if it got longer, and the Economist getting albedo wrong, and wrapping up with an installment in our #CanaryInAClimateWorld series on Richard Lindzen on the oversimplification of climate orthodoxy, more research that says European heat can't be explained by CO2 because of the big increase in incoming solar energy, and the impact of more atmospheric CO2 on ivy.

    Wildfire Frenzy

    John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with how wildfires aren't increasing but the hysteria about them keeps getting worse, EU methane reductions being too good to be true, and the Toronto Star admitting 1936 was hotter, followed by EuroNews misinformation about a cold spot in the Atlantic, evidence that all kinds of outfits knew RCP8.5 was not fit for purpose but kept using it, more permafrost hype, Roger Pielke Jr. puncturing heatwave hype, and Australian climate policy being akin to prostitution according to one of its architects, and wrapping up with an installment in our #CanaryInAClimateWorld series on two researchers independently showing how crucial the sun is to temperature, research on why Europe is warming faster than CO2-driven models can explain, and the return of woad due in part to more atmospheric CO2.

    Real Problems

    John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with a discussion of real environmental problems that get neglected because of the obsession with climate and carbon, and real environmental achievements that get ignored for the same reason, plus the ongoing delusion that if climate change is a serious problem it must be cheap and easy to fix, news that science found a whole new continent under the sea but already knew everything about oceans and climate and still does, June 2026 being one of the coolest months in the last three years despite all the hysteria, climate Karens in Canada, and alarmists turning on Microsoft instead of wondering what it now knows that it once didn't, moving on to another kooky geoengineering scheme, to ward of solar "geomagnetic storms" from space instead of protecting infrastructure here on Earth, and Adam Smith shooting down the argument that EVs are a strategic industry even if they're not popular, and wrapping up with an installment in our #CanaryInAClimateWorld series on Nobel laureate Dr. John Clauser being too harsh for our taste on climate alarmism but absolutely right about the beauty of science, more data on Canadian Arctic sea ice not melting, and from the CO2Science.org archive evidence that sweet potatoes, which are neither potatoes nor yams but relatives of Morning Glory, also grow bigger and better if there's more CO2.

    French Fried

    John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with alarmists rushing off to American hotspots when Europe cooled, without dealing with issues from declining cloud cover to the weird lack of AC in Europe, governments moving at the speed of silt on health and the environment, and wrapping up with an installment in our #CanaryInAClimateWorld series on Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore's concern that environmentalists have abandoned science, the puzzle of why French authorities shun air conditioning as "far-right", allowing seniors to perish in the name of virtue-signalling, and from the CO2Science.org archive evidence that Morning Glory grows even faster if there's more CO2.

    Hell Niño

    John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with news outlets saying there might be a strong El Niño and it definitely will be made worse by climate change and definitely will make climate change worse, breaking news that Arctic ice in Canada actually isn't melting, plans to end El Niño by switching off the sun, and wrapping up by starting a new series on #CanaryInAClimateWorld with an essay by Dr. Angus Dalgleish on the strange parallels between COVID and climate orthodoxies, more evidence that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is not about to stop overturning, circulating etc., and from the CO2Science.org archive evidence that Yellow Indian Grass, the "state grass" of South Carolina and Oklahoma and a "tallgrass", grows even taller with more CO2.

    Climate Misanthropy

    John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with Heatmap objecting that AI giant Anthropic is buying into carbon removal because they (Heatmap) fear that if it worked it might make emissions reduction less urgent so on global warming success is failure, moving on to evidence that climate alarmism is losing steam, the sermon on the carbon from an increasingly irrelevant church, and wrapping up with the "carbonate budget" of tropical reef islands showing complexity not decline, a test clickbait headline on warming cutting rice production while actually boosting it, and from the CO2Science.org archive evidence that St. John's Wort finds CO2 a remedy.
