Wildfire Frenzy

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 how wildfires aren't increasing but the hysteria about them keeps getting worse, EU methane reductions being too good to be true, and the Toronto Star admitting 1936 was hotter, followed by EuroNews misinformation about a cold spot in the Atlantic, evidence that all kinds of outfits knew RCP8.5 was not fit for purpose but kept using it, more permafrost hype, Roger Pielke Jr. puncturing heatwave hype, and Australian climate policy being akin to prostitution according to one of its architects, and wrapping up with an installment in our #CanaryInAClimateWorld series on two researchers independently showing how crucial the sun is to temperature, research on why Europe is warming faster than CO2-driven models can explain, and the return of woad due in part to more atmospheric CO2.
