Anna Rose’s “Madlands – A Journey to Change the Mind of a Climate Sceptic” got featured on Photoshop Disasters. (After looking at the cover, it is easy to see why- Anthony)
At least they don’t have Hurricanes rotating the wrong way – ala Al Gore.

If you can judge a book by its cover, the book itself isn’t likely to be much better.
Australia seems to be quite a hotbed of anti-scepticsim these days. We have Lewandowsky try to paint us all as nutters with shoddy surveys full of fake data, and Anna Rose trying to convert us.
I expect pods in the back of a truck next.

The guy in the boat…is that Sir Real?
Superb!
We appear to have a generation (20+ year olds) of ‘communicators’ of climate science (you know who I’m talking about, both male and female) who seem to think they are much better liars and propagandists than they are.
Why do they think people are so easily duped?
Please don’t tell me the world is full of dimwits and the clueless.
The best and most accurate part of the front cover is the comment “a real page-turner” – after reading the review above (aka William) I should imagine the quicker you turn the page to get to the rear cover the better.
Cover done by a primary school child, because the writer wasn’t up to that stage yet.
And Billy.. “Please don’t tell me the world is full of dimwits and the clueless.’
Sorry dude, but yep, theres an awful lot of that type floating about..
down here (Australia), they have somehow got into political power.
What a facile coward – at least Nick Minchin had the confidence and grace to listen to all her so-called experts including the tiresome Oreskes – none of whom had any science to spruik by the way.
But the cowardly little advocate of the “church of climatology” simply stamped her foot and refused to even speak with people she obviously knew were far more than her intellectual equal and actually might have some scientific knowledge.
For the love of Mike – Oreskes is such a scientific “heavyweight” she thinks Beryllium is a HEAVY metal.
You have to ask?
She has undoubtedly been getting back-pats & warm congrats from her cozy circle of like-“minded” friends – innumerate 20-something liberal arts grads who fancy themselves educated and informed.
Mencken still said it best: “An intellectual is someone who has been educated beyond their intelligence.”
“And now for the unveiling of the winners of the Al Gore Climate Change Communication Challenge. First up, we have a poster by Ms. Rose’s kindergarten class!”
*clap clap* “…photoshop…” *clap* “…ah come on, my dog could’ve..” *cough* *clap*
Remember, everyone is a winner when science defeats skepticism!
Now just so all of you individuals acting in a parental capacity are aware of it, all our participants will be receiving two awards but they will only be keeping one of them. One is the Certificate of Accomplishment signed by Al Gore himself that they can keep, and the other is a free carbon credit the children will be sending to Al Gore to offset the production of their Certificate. Isn’t that marvelous?
Aw now, I am not so sure they did such a bad job on the Photoshopping. I went to the video with Morano, and if possible, I think Anna looks much better in the book cover. Your thoughts?
The subject aside, if I saw that cover on a book I’d expect it to be a joke book. Really.
The subject NOT aside, I guess it is.
I found a copy of “Madlands” incorrectly shelved under “Biographies” in a bookshop last week. Tutting to myself, I reshelved it. Under “Science Fiction/Fantasy”. Fixed.
Hey Hooper, we’re gonna need a bigger boat…
I’m sorry, did I miss a joke about “climate sceptics” someplace?
I understand the internet has become a cesspit but I’m skeptical about our stance being filled with wild infections…
“Australia seems to be quite a hotbed of anti-scepticsim these days”
Because those Academic climate change fanatic loons can basically say what they want in Australia now virtually unchallenged. It’s full steam ahead for the Climate Change Global Warming Reich.
The Austalian Marxist/Facist Govt is now trying to censor any freespeech critism of their Loonie Carbon tax and Global Warming Policies, even here in New Zealand.
We’ve got enough Fanatic Academic Loons of AGW/CC as it is here. At least we can still refute their garbage under freespeech. Unlike some aspects of it in Australia!

Well, I first mentioned my recollection and then searched the video and watched it only after posting my comment. Yes, I was wrong. No, it doesn’t make my blood boil. The way she sold herself will leave viewers unimpressed. Morano won. That’s perfectly fine with me.
BTW, she’s calling us “mad”.
That’s projection.

You need not wear a lifejacket….if you are an airhead….

Maybe she could soften up the skeptic by firing up a cigar with him?
This is the new version of the Green Boat. Save the forests by using your legs like a duck, reducing the need for wooden paddles. It also provides a good heat sink keeping your metabolism low due to hypothermia. Given the water temps at those latitudes, almost certainly earning your nomination to the Darwin Awards!
And they went to sea in a seive, they did.
In a seive they went to sea.
The cover photo proves that CAGW enthusiasts do not have a leg to stand on.
Now the reprint can be stamped with “Award Winning”
WUWT has sunk to a new low – mocking that nice young woman with the amputated legs.
We should all be ashamed.
The original TV show was a badly edited farce. I assume the book is no different.
