John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter (climatediscussionnexus.com/newsletter/), starting with more hysteria about wildfires even though as of August 5 every single continent was below the 2012-25 average for fires and North America, Africa and South America were at record lows for that period, the Canadian government being bad at fighting fires then blaming climate, claims that smelly seaweed in Mexico is a new and climate-related problem, and National Geographic not realizing hippopotamus bones in Britain from 120,000 years ago mean it was hotter then, plus an obsession with carbon emissions from ancient Amazonian civilizations, and you getting a smaller house if you can't afford energy bills in your current one and it being progress, moving on to claims that people are now sleeping less due to hot summers and always have been, which overlook the Urban Heat Island effect and are just made-up models anyway, and the alarmists' new obsession with there never having been earthquakes until Henry Ford invented climate, plus climate alarmist realism falling flat, and wrapping up with an installment in our #CanaryInAClimateWorld series on Ian Plimer and the vexed question of natural warmings, a real forest scientist who makes actual predictions about fire based on real data, and the impact of more atmospheric CO2 on Japanese cedar even though it's not cedar and isn't from Japan.
