Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with California's state government moving from wrecking its economy with radical climate policies to wrecking it with radical anti-plastic policies, Honda pivoting away from EVs no matter how much money the Canadian government throws at car firms to make them, or batteries for them, or whatever, and the surprising news that one single hurricane contains more energy than humans produce annually, a lot more, plus it requiring about 1/3 of America's total land mass to house enough wind turbines to power that economy, and moving on to the Canadian government, flush with debt, deciding to blow $90 billion (or more) on a high-speed rail line from one elite hub to another that will trash the environment and property rights, May frost warnings in Ottawa despite global heating, a sudden frenzy for heat pumps, the Canadian government's weird determination to make food more expensive and hunger worse and the eerie resemblance between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's high-falutin' verbiage and Herman Hesse's "Glass Bead Game", and wrapping up with another installment in our #DOEDeepDive into last summer's "red team" climate report from the U.S. Department of Energy, this time on how the climate scenario wizards conjure the "Social Cost of Carbon" out of thin air, data that tropical cyclones in the Western North Pacific are not get worse no matter how often the usual suspects claim otherwise, and from the CO2Science.org archive evidence that heather, which now grows widely outside Scotland (though is mercifully no longer used much to flavour beer) finds CO2 just bonny.
