I believe the “new green toolkit” from the. Royal College of Physicians includes this directive:
“If the patients voicing eco-distress seem like capable and functioning adults, tell them that Justin Panopticon’s Climate & Economy daily news service will make them feel connected to others searching for truth and not lies. Tell them that they should become paid subscribers to C&E at a level commensurate with their income level.”
Thank you for the ringing endorsement, Martin. 😆
One thing I’ve been wanting to comment on for quite some time is the over-the-top and outright false claims and statements of ‘extremetemps’, that are discrediting ClimateandEconomy.
The constant barrage of hyperbolic commentary, ‘insane’, etc., and the deluge of misleading misinformation ‘hottest in history’, etc., discredits an otherwise either reasonably strong, or strong regular roundup of climate-related information on ClimateandEconomy.
The entries from ‘extremetemps’ seem to increase when the offering is not as strong, and this skews a grounded approach to reporting the stark realities of climate change happening now.
Because of this, I never recommend ClimateandEconomy or include it as a source of information or a resource, because the people I typically talk to are new to understanding climate change, and could easily get confused with the deluge of misinformation and misstatements from ‘extremetemps’.
I’ve been wanting to communicate this observation for a while now. You have a good thing going. I hope you capitalize on its strengths.
Paul, this critique of Maximiliano Herrera’s (@extremetemps) work is weirdly similar to one I have recently responded to on Facebook… but perhaps there are two people out there who have it in for poor Maximiliano.
Maximiliano is widely used as a go-to by other meteorologists and by major news outlets like the BBC, Washington Post and Guardian. He is also used as a Consultant by Guinness World of Records. I find him entirely credible.
If his language sometimes sounds hyperbolic, then it is because a.) English is not his first language and b.) He is trying to keep tabs on and report a literally unprecedented barrage of temperature records.
If there are specific inaccuracies of his which you wish to draw readers’ attention to then that is fine – no one is perfect – but I find his work invaluable and will continue to cite him, not least because the records he reports are often not reported anywhere else or take time to work their way into the mainstream press. He has his own website, too:
https://www.mherrera.org/temp.htm
Paul – or whatever your non-MI5 name is – weren’t you the guy who came over to my house for a free, casual get-together with some decent folks from around the way, went into a cabinet where we keep our napkins, made a face and then immediately left, screaming “I am going to tell everyone to never come into your house for any reason! The napkins are a month out of date!”
Now, now, Martin. Maybe Paul has a point. Wouldn’t want to scare the newbies with actual data.

Sure the weather service doesn’t calibrate any of their temperatures at all and they are all wrong thats why Vegas and Death Valley temperatures are completely wrong. They break record lows and record highs and its ony 2 months into summer. But again most people don’t understand geologic time let alone the exponential function to compute whats going on on a complex interconnected system such as Mother Earth. Methane and co2 have nothing to do with record high temperatures and almost non existent north pole. I will go back to my bicoin and ai that will save us all before they fry.
