Episode Description

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with spuriously precise tallies of what various sectors contribute to human GHGs that go way past 100% and moving on to Australia's energy transition to shortages and blather, the "Fire department effect" with exploding lithium batteries, freezing weather in the "Hottest Year Ever(TM)", journalists too lazy to Google "snow in Saudi Arabia" but telling us all about what it means, sudden enthusiasm for geothermal among the herd of independent minds, Javier Vinos on the hopeless performance of climate models, condescending elitists condescending about their condescension on science, and wrapping up with an installment of our #GreenBlackout series on what's in the IPCC's synthesis reports, a new study revising ocean temperatures upward in the early 20th century and saying it too is proof of man-made warming, a UK journalist finding that the Met Office doesn't just report data from badly sited monitoring stations but from a hundred non-existent ones, and evidence that Kentucky bluegrass may be neither blue nor in Kentucky but it sure loves CO2.
