Donna Laframboise on the IPCC lying about climate change

This episode was recorded in 2020.

Donna Laframboise is a Canadian investigative journalist, writer and photographer. She has previously worked as a columnist for the National Post and the Toronto Star, and served as the past vice president of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.

She is known for her critical reviews of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and its reports for the United Nations.

Her book, on which my conversation with her is based, The Delinquent Teenager Who Was Mistaken for the World's Top Climate Change Expert, exposed two major issues:

Reliance on non-peer-reviewed literature: She found that a significant portion of the scientific literature cited in the IPCC's influential 2007 Fourth Assessment Report came from sources that were not peer-reviewed.
Use of non-scientist contributors: Her investigation revealed that many of the authors and reviewers for the IPCC reports had affiliations with activist organisations.

Donna explained why the IPCC should not be trusted with anything to do with climate science.
