The Electric Koolaid Climate Test

from The Climate Discussion Nexus

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.
