With regard to global warming, perhaps one of the best updates ever -- concise and clear,

Climate change
hysteria has been dialed up to 11 over the last year or two. Greta
Thunberg, the Swedish teenager who knows little or nothing about the
subject, apparently will continue being nominated for a Nobel Prize
until she wins one.
But, hype aside, what is actually going on with the
Earth’s climate? The original post is here.
Anthony Watts (the link)
offers seven charts that show the effects of the last decade of alleged
global warming. The first one has to do with the beneficial effects of
increasing CO2–plant food–in the atmosphere.
From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has
shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising
levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published
in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25 2016.
The greening over the past 33 years reported in this study is equivalent
to adding a green continent about two times the size of mainland USA
(18 million km2)…

We constantly hear that temperatures are setting new records, but in
reality, according to NOAA’s United States Climate Reference Network,
average temperatures in the U.S. in 2019 were cooler than they had been
at the start of the decade. The two peaks were, as usual,
naturally-occurring El Nino years:
The alarmists’ models were created by activists to predict
problematic levels of warming. That was the whole point. Unfortunately
for the alarmists, enough time has now gone by that we can say,
definitively, that the models are wrong. They grossly exaggerated any
mild warming that has actually occurred. And a model that produces wrong
predictions is worthless.
Much more at the link: five more graphs and great summaries.
