As P.J. O’Rourke said “Beyond a certain point complexity is fraud…. when someone creates a system in which you can’t tell whether or not you’re being fooled, you’re being fooled.” As with “capacity values” in the electricity system. But now the whistle has blown.

This week we ponder the New York Times insisting Tom Cruise's climate-hectoring-postmodernist bomb 'Digger' "is a secret masterpiece", the Thwaites-of-the-week scare, EVs bringing "bi-directional charging to the masses"... in theory, the energy lack of transition, and more.

Then the AMOC-of-the-week as 14 Reuters says “An Atlantic Ocean current system weakened by global warming could recover over time if the climate cools, a study by the Danish Meteorological Institute showed on Wednesday” but we're all going to die anyway.

The green energy transition may be a disappointment in Western countries, with high prices and unreliable power causing a political backlash. But it’s going great in China, at least in alarmists' minds, with high investment, futuristic power and none of that silly democracy.

The Green Red show keeps on broadcasting as climate alarmists hail the reelection of far-left demagogue “Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva” in Brazil as a “reprieve for the Amazon” while silently retracting the claim that global warming was destroying it.

John Clauser is a prince of mainstream academia. But he can’t be all bad because he's refreshingly free with his unpopular opinions on climate change, and presents an intriguing challenge to a key claim about the energy imbalance.

The British the Stern Review of 20 years ago is a key reason from 2006, like Al Gore’s movie, that we can’t have nice things anymore. It was completely wrong, but alarmists are celebrating it on its anniversary.

From the CO2Science.org archive... Ladder Brake? Who comes up with these names? An actual ladder brake looks nothing like the tropical fern Pteris vittata, which won't help if you fall off the roof. But it will produce foliage given heat and lots of CO2.

We don't know exactly how much Earth warmed since 1860 because nobody was recording temperature to 2 decimal places then & most places nobody was recording it at all. Worse, we now find that where they were in Australia the government has mangled the data and won't come clean.

As people debate whether Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is a sincere climate zealot, a sellout or just a huckster, we find that the government is giving massive subsidies to buy heat pumps from, um, firms the PM holds shares in. So he's sure doing well by do-gooding.

This week brace for "heat storms" now apparently "scorching the earth" and cooking us all, saunter away from giant African land snails spread by climate change, skip Scientific American's 2-minute doom, and more.

On Oct. 14 we noted that by October the cumulative burned area in Canada had fallen “well below the ten-year average for this time of year”. Just a day later, the Canadian federal government issued an “update” that instead attempted to portray the place as a constant blaze.

Completely neutral Canadian Renewable Energy Association polling finds that “Canadians recognize that more electricity will be needed to meet future demand” but “affordability was Canadians’ top priority for new electricity supply.” Why? Didn't you say renewables were cheaper?

When Heatmap emailed us “Half of companies with net-zero commitments call scope 3 their biggest barrier.” We thought duh what? Then “Probably the other half said ‘What’s scope 3?’” Evidently it's the carbon emissions you don’t emit but get blamed for anyway. And can't measure.

More than five years ago we made a video on the tropical troposphere explaining that the lack of warming in that part of the atmosphere was a big problem for climate models. Now it turns out it's an even bigger problem than we thought.

Alarmists disappointed by Atlantic hurricanes had high hopes for climate disaster from the super giant worst-ever El Niño building up in the eastern tropical Pacific. Then it too let them down, fizzling ahead of schedule.

From the CO2Science.org archive, Lactuca sativa, or common lettuce, is a staple of the modern diet. And to us it goes best between bacon and tomato in a classic BLT. But however you enjoy your leafy greens, with more CO2 you'll enjoy more and bigger ones.

In a piece of irony painful to both, President Trump has brought about a massive increase in conventional energy prices in the U.S. that climate alarmists long dreamed of in vain. And neither side is remotely happy with the result, let alone the cause.

Tom Cruise, normally a massive box office draw, has made a hectoring movie about climate that looks to become the biggest money loser in Hollywood history. It seems the public appetite for bad propaganda is limited.

This week we contemplate why so many greens can't resist antisemitism, what PM Mark Carney means by "national interest" and "building at unprecedented speed, scale and expense", climate activists with deep pockets and government funding, and more.
