Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with the Guardian claiming climate change will destroy capitalism, which they hate, but they're still unhappy, Scientific American thinking big banks see climate doom coming when they don't, moving on to the U.S. government hurling cash at failed battery recyclers and feeble climate museums, Heatmap saying Trump's tariffs are destroying electricity demand and the oil industry, which they hate, but they're still unhappy, a preposterous claim that climate change could ruin your vacation because suddenly weather is unpredictable, another vague lurid prediction of ocean current collapse, a cold spring, a lack of fierce tornados, American scientists supposedly losing faith in the public (small world), and the usual guff about the green energy transition being profitable, and wrapping up with a #LookItUp on Canadian Arctic ice records before 1979, Mediterranean rain washing out the models, and evidence that cotton also loves CO2.
