Joanne "Jo" Nova(real nameJoanne Codling) is anAustralianwriter, speaker, former TV host,anti-sciencepresenter and a professionalwingnut.[1]She maintains a blog which regularly regurgitatesdebunkedclimate denialmyths, making her the poor Aussie'sIan PlimerorAndrew Bolt.[2]The site also has on its header the highlyironicphrase "Tackling tribalistgroupthink." She has also written a handbook called "The Skeptic's Handbook," a brief pamphlet that reads like it was copy-pasted from another denialist site without the slightest whiff of actual research and peppered with pretty pictures.[3]The handbook concentrates on a few of the greatest hits, including: Satellites and weather balloons showing no warming (they do); theOregon Petition"debunking" thescientific consensus(it doesn't); carbon dioxide lagging, not leading temperature change (ignoring Milankovitch cycles and feedbacks); the carbon dioxide effect being saturated (it isn't); and bad weather station siting (relying on the self-debunked work ofAnthony Watts).[4]
In between regurgitating debunked climate myths, she often posts nonsensical fiscal arguments; then breaks into a general bitching session about anything including the denial crowd pleaser, theGore bash fest.
She downplays the funding she and other denialists receive from theHeartland Instituteand theScience and Public Policy Institute.
