Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter ( https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne... ), from the snow that just won't disappear to the lavish sums climate alarmists throw around to clouds computers just can't model to the chirp of doom in Chicago to the climate policy crisis to the pending extinction of RCP8.5 to the seas tr...

Looking At The Sun 10.06.2022

Climate alarmists downplay or dismiss the role of the sun in climate change, attributing most or all of it to CO2 and to man-made CO2 at that. But in this Climate Discussion Nexus "Backgrounder" video Dr. John Robson explains that a technical dispute about satellite readings of solar output since 1979 is of enormous importance here because if one side is right, temperature fluctuations over the la...

Call Me Tedium 02.05.2022

Dr. John Robson comments on key items from the latest Climate Discussion Nexus weekly "Wednesday Wakeup" newsletter ( https://climatediscussionnexus.com/ne... ), from the latest excruciatingly dull IPCC report that a bunch of journalists managed to summarize without reading to Canada's former Environment Minister getting a new job with the UN denouncing companies' climate policies to the absurd en...

Big Trouble In The Little Ice Age 19.04.2022

Climate alarmists downplay or dismiss the Little Ice Age, like the Medieval Warm Period before it, because its existence shows first that temperatures fluctuate naturally and always have, and second that much or most of the specific warming since 1850 has nothing to do with human beings. But in this Climate Discussion Nexus "Backgrounder" video Dr. John Robson shows not only that abundant evidence...

A Flooded Condition 02.03.2022

Far too many people have been "conditioned" to react to bad weather by thinking "climate change". But Dr. John Robson explains that, just as Pavlov's dogs learned to salivate at the sound of a metronome (no, not a bell) even though there was no inherent connection between that device and the appearance of food, people have come to associate storms, droughts, wildfires and so on with global warming...

The Fatal Policy Flaw 02.03.2022

Overwhelmingly, climate alarmists say we must meet our "Paris targets" to avoid disasters. But Dr. John Robson explains that their own computer models say meeting Paris will make no difference to temperature by 2100. Some activists and politicians may not know it... but the scientists do, and it's wrong of them not to speak up about the fact that the Paris Accord, like Kyoto before it, means massi...
