The New York Times says “Mary Peltola, the Democratic Senate candidate in Alaska, is a complicated officeseeker. She is pro-gun, pro-oil and pro-gas, but also pro-environment and pro-fish." Why's it complicated? Because they're in the climate cult.

We read in Phys.org that “Penguin poop is melting Antarctic snow by keeping algae green”. And we ask: Haven’t penguins lived there for millions of years? Answer: yes. But it wasn't until we invented climate that they destroyed it. Go figure.

The Manhattan Contrarian reports that the data are in on Hurricane Isaias, which briefly raising the hopes of alarmists everywhere that they wouldn’t look like, well, alarmists. It wasn't major. But apparently if they can’t find a brutal storm they’ll make one instead.

Krameria erecta is found in the US Southwest and Mexico where it positively thrives on extreme heat and dryness. For those living in the sorts of places where Littleleaf Rattany grows, you are in for more of it. Heat, dryness and more CO2 are just what this plant is hoping for.

We bin most stories on how the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation will collapse unless it doesn't. But when New Scientist “if the vital AMOC ocean current fails” hails “an ambitious plan to give us a warning” we bother heckling their view we can compute ocean currents.

As the chattering classes go gaga over Mark Carney approving possible approval of a pipeline approval process, Peter Menzies warns of “That sad, skeptical moment when you realize the sluggish pace of Canada’s fast lane” where deeds are so rare people stoop to celebrating words.

Those with even fairly short historical memories will recall that the “Green New Deal” was meant to do for the US economy what Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal” supposedly did in the 1930s. Like plowing crops under. Colour us skeptical.

On energy poverty & darkness there’s an issue we want to address because of a National Geographic promotion of “The Best Dark Sky Destinations in Europe for Stargazing”. It’s that “light pollution” actually is a thing, unlike “carbon pollution”. And one we can and should fight.

This week’s climate canary is Andrew Roman, a Canadian lawyer who spent his career working on energy and environment-related litigation. He surveys the global scope of climate litigation, its apparently limitless funds, and its total absence of common sense.

It seems a lifetime ago, though technically it was only July, when a cluster of forest fires in Canada brought, of all things, forest fire smoke down through Ontario into the US northeast. Notice how quiet it’s been lately instead? Guess what changed. Yup. The fires went out.

Curlytop Knotweed is Polygonum lapathifolium L. in Latin, but also Persicaria lapathifolia. And in English it has even more names (many including "smartweed") and some medical value. Whatever you call it, and to eat or admire for pretty pink flowers, more CO2 means more of it.

Scientific American “Today in Science” tells us that “El Niño has stymied storm formation even more than forecasters expected”. How it is possible to keep reporting that scientists are surprised that their predictions fail without ever admitting that the science is not settled?

An item from the Canadian political insider Hill Times starts “As wildfires rage” and then endorses censorship to make sure nobody checks whether they really are raging.

This week we ponder simultaneous heat and frost warnings, experts saying that "climate denial" is the new hate, the fate of Canada's energy industry, a new California climate law on fashion brands, losing those "persnickety" coffee trees to global warming, and more.
