Donna Laframboise is interviewed on SunTV about her new book. 7:40, but well worth your time.
Click image for the video.
Tom Harris at ICSC writes: Toronto-based researcher Donna Laframboise deconstruct the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on Charles Adler, Sun Media TV. Ms. Laframboise is the author of “The Delinquent Teenager Who Was Mistaken for the World’s Top Climate Expert“, a book that describes how the IPCC includes green lobbyists and others too biased, or too misinformed to have any place on such an important UN body. Ms. Laframboise maintains noconsensus.org, a website that argues that there is no scientific consensus on global warming.
Concerning her book, “The Delinquent Teenager Who Was Mistaken for the World’s Top Climate Expert“, Amazon Books writes: “This expose, by an investigative journalist, is the product of two years of research. Its conclusion: almost nothing we’ve been told about the IPCC is true.”
If you haven’t got the book yet, now is the time. A free Kindle reader for PC and Mac is available too.

Got the book and read it quickly –it’s quick work with easy style and good structure. Am now re-reading for detail and confirmation of the sometimes-stunning points she makes. I had little respect for IPCC back in 2009 when Climategate broke and Copenhagen showed Pachauri to be a clown; but Donna’s book really finished the job. Without the research and back-up her claims would seem ludicrous; but with them, she has broken a very big story. I don’t see how IPCC can survive these allegations, nor should it.
Hoser;
Try Merkin. As in ‘I’m a Merkin’. Only works with a Merkin accent though!
Merkin? You must be from Maryland. Maybe Balmer.
This is all a waste of time. The AGW liers know they are frauds. And the MSM are knowingly protecting them.
The problem is that there is no one with the political Will to demand or propose criminal prosecutions. Many $billions have been wasted on a co-orginated, planned and deliberate fraud, and no one has the guts to demand these people be brought to account.
Until we start protesting in the streets demanding jail sentances for these criminals, the AGW hoax will go on, and the MSM, academia and politicians will just ignore us. The GOP and other “conservative” parties around the world will throw us a bone every now and then, but none of them are prepared to bring the fraudsters to account – because the entire MSM, academia and political class will turn on them.

As a Brit I find Yank or Septic (Cockney rhyming slang : septic tank – yank) works quite well.
‘Cousin’ is quite good for a Brit too (comes from the revolutionary war; when the rebels were known as Cousin Johnathan to the Royal Navy and British Army).
Of course; the use of ‘American’ helps disguise the inability of the non-yank to work out a canuck accent !
This book finally prompted me to download the Kindle app for my iPad and buy the book last night. I’m only 4 chapters into it, but it reads very well and promises to be quite enlightening. I expect I’ll learn things I don’t know, and I’ve read up plenty on the problems and issues with the IPCC and their sloppy, biased work.
Donna L. ,
Clear your schedule. Based on that Sun interview then you are going on a world tour.

Anthony thanks for posting this interview with Donna L
No problem watching it here in Australia.
Great job Donna.
Australia’s Prime MInister, Julia Gillard, has introduced a carbon tax in Australia, having relied on the IPCC’s ‘climate bible’. She, together with her Climate Change Minister, Greg Combet, and all her watermelon colleagues, should be forced to read “The Delinquent Teenager”!
Like many other North Americans (about 1/10th at last count), I was born north of the USA border in that quaint corner of the continent spelled C eh N eh D eh N eh. We are polite and thoughtful, and often skeptical – like La Framboise, McKittrick, or McIntyre.
Mervyn- why read the book? They can see a delinquent teenager in their own respective bathroom mirrors, every day.

The only head of state sceptic I know of is the President of Czechoslovakia.
You might add the Prime Minister of Canada. 60 scientists wrote an April 6, 2006 letter urging withdrawal of Kyoto to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper which stated in part:
http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/financialpost/story.html?id=3711460e-bd5a-475d-a6be-4db87559d605
“Observational evidence does not support today’s computer climate models, so there is little reason to trust model predictions of the future. Yet this is precisely what the United Nations did in creating and promoting Kyoto and still does in the alarmist forecasts”
“It may be many years yet before we properly understand the Earth’s climate system. Nevertheless, significant advances have been made since the protocol was created, many of which are taking us away from a concern about increasing greenhouse gases.”
“If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist, because we would have concluded it was not necessary.”
“Climate change is real’ is a meaningless phrase used repeatedly by activists to convince the public that a climate catastrophe is looming and humanity is the cause. Neither of these fears is justified. Global climate changes all the time due to natural causes and the human impact still remains impossible to distinguish from this natural noise.'”
The name I like the best for citizens of my good old USA is ‘gringo’.
It has a certain charm.

The Australian Prime Minister needs instead to be forced to read the next election vote tally out loud and in public. As do our own Merkin (love that word) politicians who attempted to shove this UN IPCC nonsense down our throats.
Did she say that some of the references were derived from “student faeces”?? Sums up the IPCC report, I suppose…. 😉
.
Oh good, I now know how to pronounce Rajendra Pachauri. I learned something from the video. 🙂
And Canadians, you’re *too* polite. Seriously, you can be too polite, its true.
Did not Frank Lloyd Wright suggest that citizens of the US be known as Usonians?
Ending, perhaps, in testimony to a congressional committee, along with other IPCC critics. It would play well in Peoria. IPCCers should be invited too, to explain themselves. Choo-choo would be a hoot.

Not to be a curmudgeon or anything, but the title, “Big Al,” was taken by Alex Lifeson 30 years ago…
____________
OK, How about “Wierd Al”? Maybe Yankovich will share it.
I bought my iPad a couple of months ago. Got the Kindle app. Since then have downloaded eg Watermelons, The Hockeystick Ilusion, and The Delinquent Teenager amongst others. To quote Antonia “aaagggghhh!” In my despair I cling to the tentative hope that many of the millions of iPad users will do much the same. Sunlight is the best disinfectant….
I have been yelled at SO much that the IPCC is an august scientific body, it makes me sick. People assume that there are thousands of climate experts out there. There are actually rather few, probably way less than 100 and only a handful that are honest scientists who let the cards fall where they may.
It’s like helicopters after a bad hurricane with flooding. People assume that there should be helicopters everywhere rescuing people. There are, in fact, a limited number of helicopters in the world. A finite number. You cannot have more than there are. The IPCC would lead us to believe that there are thousands of climate scientists.
Also, sure we have helicopters attached to many hospitals, but we cannot pull them all away to a disaster and leave the rest of the population without. There will still be the normal number of accidents and heart attacks that need to be handled. Thus, usually only the military can spare some helicopters and even then they keep some back as they cannot leave the country undefended.
She held herself well. Great video. Thanks for the link.

Wonder if Rex Murphy a journalist, should be added?
Doug you forgot David Suzuki, sorry I just could not resist. Needed some balance, HE HE, EH—http://www.quebecoislibre.org/08/080315-3.htm

Yes, I agree. See the following four minute video:
