John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with more hysteria about European heatwaves this summer that misrepresents history, more hysteria about wildfires that ignores it, including claiming smoke from them is a new and ominous development, someone blaming the fall of Rome on climate but not, amazingly, on our climate impact, more folly about geoengineering the climate, a story about giant octopodes hunting dinosaurs that mangles science, moving on to news that fire season in Africa is getting shorter but somehow we don't get credit though we'd sure get blamed if it got longer, and the Economist getting albedo wrong, and wrapping up with an installment in our #CanaryInAClimateWorld series on Richard Lindzen on the oversimplification of climate orthodoxy, more research that says European heat can't be explained by CO2 because of the big increase in incoming solar energy, and the impact of more atmospheric CO2 on ivy.
