Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with this weird story out of Illinois where the legislature mandated the extinction of hydrocarbon energy and now everyone's stunned that a major power plant is literally leaving the state, plus yet more meetings that will suddenly save the climate, Bloomberg Green peddling a US battery boom that's only struggling because people hate having the things burst into toxic flames, the Canadian government going in another circle on the Memorandum of Misunderstanding, and people discovering that the fertilizer they wanted to get rid of to save the climate is now hard to get because of the Iran War and it's terrible, moving on San Francisco subsidizing electric heaters in daycares to save the planet, worries that an El Niño could improve American weather and make people doubt climate change is ruining it, claims that a 1.5C temperature increase will slaughter coral even though we supposedly already had it and it didn't, and the Iran War supposedly causing condom shortages as well as energy and everything else, and wrapping up with another installment in our #DOEDeepDive into last summer's "red team" climate report from the U.S. Department of Energy, going deeper into the studies that wrongly said climate change would harm agriculture, more evidence that hurricanes are declining (so does CO2 get credit?) and from the CO2Science.org archive evidence that Hairy Bracken and Woolly Bracken are hard to tell apart but both like CO2.
