The Carbon Is Flying

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne..., starting with the strange and hypocritical political habit, especially in Canada, of hopping on airplanes and spewing carbon to meet the same people and babble the same cliches over and over again... including about climate change, the discovery that the government of California had a "let it burn" policy in place before the devastating LA fires it then blamed on carbon not letting them burn, and the apparent pivot from attacking fossil fuels because of climate to attacking them because of plastic pollution, moving on to the famous Memorandum of Understanding between the Canadian federal and Alberta provincial governments being incomprehensible as well as futile, New England warming faster than other places just like other places, efforts to get us excited about COP31, the British MoD warning staff that the Chinese EVs it leases are probably wired for espionage sound, the New York Times actually admitting that the hugely popular paper predicting huge economic costs from climate change by 2049 was retracted because it was rubbish, then whining that Zillow no longer puts wacky climate risk scores in real estate listings, and wrapping up with another installment in our #DOEDeepDive look at this summer's "red team" climate report from the U.S. Department of Energy, this time on emissions scenarios and the carbon cycle, Roger Pielke Jr. wrapping up the 2025 hurricane season by noting that such storms are not getting more common or more intense, and from the CO2Science.org archive a Christmas tribute to Silver Fir and the CO2 it cherishes.
