The German government’s chief climate advisor “is a menace,” writes Canadian journalist Donna Laframboise.
(Excerpts) – “Schellnhuber is no ordinary scientist. He is, instead, a political actor – a mover and shaker at the very highest levels of international politics..”
“His public pronouncements reflect this reality. Sticking to his own narrow field of scientific expertise is not what this man does. He doesn’t tread carefully, striving to avoid exaggeration. Rather, he is a full-blown activist – the kind who seems to forget that politicians are answerable to ordinary voters rather than to self-important experts.
“For years, Schellnhuber’s public remarks have been filled with talk of “dangerous and catastrophic climate change,” tipping points, and predictions that 6 billion could perish if the climate overheats.
“In 2003, he authored an article for the UK Guardian that characterized the use of fossil fuels as “a lifestyle of mass destruction.” He suggested that wealthy Westerners should feel guilty “for eco-crimes that sink distant island states” via an “SUV culture out of control.” In his view, the least we should do is establish “a UN supervised adaptation fund worth several trillion dollars.”
“Despite the long list of pompous pronouncements in that Guardian piece, not once did Schellnhuber explain why his physics training gives him special insight into economic, social, or political questions.”

“Canadian journalist Donna Laframboise has been watching the climate[alarmists] world since 2009,” says Andrew. “What she sees isn’t pretty.”
“A note about the nofrakkingconsensus blog:
“This blog is not about fracking – a procedure used to harvest natural gas. When she started blogging on climate matters back in 2009, Donna hadn’t yet heard of hydraulic fracking. She began by designing the NOconsensus.org website and later named her blog NoFrakkingConsensus as an expression of exasperation. (At the time, actors in a popular sci-fi TV show[Farscape] uttered the epithets ‘frak’ and ‘frakking’ with feeling and often in place of the F-word.)”
