Nothing To Show
Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter, starting with the extraordinary lack of results, other than red ink, from the Biden Administration's massive spending on climate change measures, and the way people believe the next government promise no matter how badly the last one failed, including Canadian politicians trying to bury their support for a carbon tax while promising to save us from the weather some other way, moving on to dull journalism on climate, alarmists pretending last winter didn't happen, loony plans to "decarbonize" the air and water, dismal radicals trying to ruin Valentine's Day, a new paper from James Hansen that summarizes stale orthodoxy as bold and new, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp item on deaths due to natural disasters, a strange finding that Europe is getting brighter (literally) for reasons models can't explain, and that CO2 can indeed bake a cherry pie.

When Climate Panic Met Woke Imperialist Bureaucracy
Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter, starting with the strange insistence that without ludicrous USAID spending the whole global fight against climate change will collapse, the ongoing grip of winter outside the palace of red tape dreams, and the ongoing deflation of the hydrogen balloon, and moving on to more weird weather the models can't explain, more feeble excuses for them, more proof that climate variability is natural, some unexpected frankness on the shortcomings of EVs and the huge footprint of their batteries, and the coming collapse of climate alarmism under the combined weight of hypocrisy and indifference to facts, and wrapping up with a handy compendium of said facts, a #LookItUp item on Arctic sea ice volume, a dramatic drop in global temperature as the Hunga Tonga effect fades, and chickpeas that love CO2.

What Carbon Tax?
Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter, starting with those jostling to replace Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as head of the Liberal party suddenly backpeddling frantically from the carbon taxes they long championed, alarmists clinging to the Paris Agreement as it sinks like a stone, a victory for whales against wind power, faux scientific panic over Africa splitting apart, and moving on to another attack on gas stoves and more babbling about how heat causes snow, alarmists thinking it should be OK to destroy art if your motives are like their motives, a sudden renunciation of the "blame game" on wildfires, at least in California, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp item on the Global Wildfire Information System showing that such fires are getting less damaging not more worldwide, evidence that Greenland really was green hundreds of thousands of years ago with much lower CO2, and that willows love the stuff.

Climate Change Brings Record Snow To Sunshine State
Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter, starting with more examples of climate alarmists blaming whatever just happened on global warming, even if it's record snow in Florida, and outrage over Donald Trump withdrawing the U.S. from the useless Paris Agreement a second time, and moving on to Davos apparently being a capitalist plot not a serious forum for stopping climate change, an admission that cold is bad, a host of municipal "climate emergency" declarations that led to no action, more evidence that the Holocene Climatic Optimum was much warmer than today, another reason to distrust tree rings as temperature proxies, the Canadian government dumping carbon taxes for a tangled mass of inefficient regulations, at least rhetorically, patronizing videos that purport to refute climate skepticism with a pat on the head, existing electric grids being unable to deliver imaginary new power, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp item on the NOAA saying climate change isn't making hurricanes worse, climate change not making Antarctica calve more giant icebergs, and cassava loving CO2 which is good news if you love tapioca or um cyanide.

It's Continuing To Look A Lot Like Winter
Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter, starting with the fact that winter seems to have much of the Northern Hemisphere firmly in its icy grasp despite propaganda about global heating, and the financial implosion and literal combustion of EVs and their batteries, and Canadian politicians fleeing carbon taxes as if someone else had spent a decade promoting them, and moving on to "climate whiplash" making San Francisco foggier and less foggy, both terrible of course, and Mark Carney running for the Canadian Liberal leadership just as his international net zero banking house of cards collapses, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp item on NOAA's precipitation record, particularly for Los Angeles in the winter, Patric Brown blowing another whistle, this time on Extreme Event Attribution, and news that birch likes CO2.
