Real Problems

from The Climate Discussion Nexus

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.To support the Climate Discussion Nexus, subscribe to our YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_egd..., our Rumble channel (https://rumble.com/user/ClimateDN), our newsletter (at http://www.climatediscussionnexus.com/) and our podcast on Spotify, like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and Gettr, and make a monthly or one-time pledge at http://www.climatediscussionnexus.com...
