Into the Dustbin: Rajendra Pachauri, the Climate Report & the Nobel Peace Prize Kindle Edition

Rajendra Pachauri, who chaired the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for 13 years, is a non-stop train wreck. The IPCC is supposed to be an objective scientific body, but Pachauri wrote forewords for Greenpeace publications and accepted a ‘green crusader’ award during his tenure. He was an aggressive policy advocate even though the IPCC is supposed to be policy neutral. In 1996, an Indian High Court concluded that he’d “suppressed material facts” and “sworn to false affidavits.” Contrary to longstanding claims, he earned only one PhD rather than two.

This book’s first essay, The IPCC and the Peace Prize, describes how Pachauri improperly advised IPCC personnel that they were Nobel laureates after the organization as a whole was awarded half of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. The misinformation fallout continues to the present day, with scores of scientists improperly claiming to be something they are not.

The remainder of the book is a newly-edited, lovingly polished collection of blog posts originally written between February 2010 and August 2013. Discover Pachauri as a detective might – accumulating piecemeal knowledge about the world’s most prominent climate official until a shocking portrait emerges.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Donna Laframboise is an investigative journalist. As a former vice president of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, she is committed to free speech and to what librarians call intellectual freedom - the right of citizens to receive information from multiple points-of-view.

The Princess at the Window, 20th anniversary edition, includes a new Foreword that examines the hostile reaction to a 2016 documentary film about men's rights. Calling award-winning director Cassie Jaye "a shining example of how feminists ought to behave," Donna says the story of The Red Pill movie reveals how close minded, punitive, and tyrannical the women's movement has become.

Donna is the author of two books about the world's most important climate body - a UN organization known as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In that context, she has been described by Germany's Der Spiegel as the IPCC's 'sharpest critic,' has testified before a committee of the British House of Commons, and has addressed audiences in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland, and the UK.

Her IPCC exposé, The Delinquent Teenager Who Was Mistaken for the World's Top Climate Expert, has been translated into German and Norwegian, and is available in Australia from Connor Court.

Donna blogs at BigPicNews.com. She is the author a 2016 report commissioned by the London-based Global Warming Policy Foundation. It explains that half of all published scientific literature may be wrong, including the climate research on which governments have been basing trillion-dollar decisions.

Donna holds an undergraduate degree in Women's Studies from the University of Toronto. She has been a weekly columnist for the Toronto Star and the National Post, and has served on the editorial board of the latter. Her recent work has appeared in venues as diverse as the Wall Street Journal and VancouverDesi.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bias by IPCC and its head
    Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    A sad tale about the bias of the IPCC and how the greens have jammed things down the throat of the public. Very informative book regarding IPCC biases.

    This book is a collection of essays published between February 2010 and August 2013 centered around Rajendra Pachauri, the head of the IPCC climate report. After the IPC shared the Nobel Prize, he told everyone who helped write the report that they were a Nobel Prize winner, which of course they were not. When the IPCC got the Nobel, it mean just what it said, the IPCC got the Nobel prize, and not the individual authors and editors. Thus they were many people who for about 5 years were going around claiming that they had won a Nobel Prize. It took the five years to get the IPCC to correct the error. Mr. Rajendra Pachauri as the head of the IPCC would be expected to be non partisan and as neutral as he cold be regarding what is called global warming. However, he has taken sides and signed up as a supporter of green causes.

    All in all, this collection of essays and posts expose Mr. Rajendra Pachauri as very much of a partisan in the debates about global warming. This certainly calls into question his objectivity, and thus the objectivity of the IPCC report is for no other reason, that he is an avowed environmentalist who has publicly chosen sides on this issue.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2013

    This really tells the story of the exaggerations, 1/2 truths & outright lies spread by the IPCC & its chairman, Rajendra Pachauri.
    Donna Laframboise has done it again with another expose of this organisation & its leaders.
    Statements & reports published by them, (backed up by references & footnotes if any proof is required) about falsely named Nobel Prize winners, & exaggerated Peer Reviews ect..
    If anybody has any doubts about Climate Change reports & how they are written & verified, especially regarding Rajendra Pachauri, then this book is a "Must Read".

    5.0 out of 5 stars CO2 Is Not The Enemy Energy Poverty Is
    Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Into the Dustbin exposes the corruption within the IPCC. The fact government is using the findings of this corrupt institution to base their energy policies on is beyond belief. The poor are hurt the most by the anti fossil fuel policies that government enacts based on the false prophecies of doom and gloom in the IPCC's Climate Reports. The people responsible within the IPCC for knowingly generating false prophecies of climate change doom and gloom should be held accountable for all the harm they have done to the poor and to nature. Harm caused by anti fossil fuel policies that "skyrocket" energy costs the poor cannot afford to pay for. Harm down to nature by the destruction of tropical rain forests to grow biofuel crops and to the thousands if not millions of birds and bats killed by Wind Turbines.

    3.0 out of 5 stars All great stuff but a bit bitty
    Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I read Donna's 'Delinquent Teenager' with delight. It confirmed everything I knew and much of what I suspected about the IPCC. So the dustbin was a Must Buy. It was a bit of a disappointment, a collection of her blogs over several years, with Pachauri as the target. It tended to get repetitious after a while, and I longed for a decent editor to take the work by the scruff of its neck and shake it into shape. It is full of interesting horror stories about the man and his methods, and piles up an impressive case as to why elections are good and appointment by committee is bad, but when all is said and done, there is nothing to beat a good story line. This is too staccato a piece.

    2.0 out of 5 stars This book is a personal attack on one scientist, not a critical review of climate science.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Donna has a personal dislike of Rajendra Pachauri, not without some good reason.

    There are some legitimate issues with the IPCC processes and some criticisms of data and conclusions of the IPCC that can be made. However the author of this book confuses her crusade against Rajenda Pachauri with legitimate critique of climate science. This book appears to be part of a larger crusade based on emotions and personalities, not on the nitty gritty details of scientific inquiry. Climate science is imperfect and deserves to be reviewed critically. This book isn't worth the time it takes to read it. This is not a useful addition to the careful consideration of climate change data & analysis.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just the facts, ma'am , just the facts.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I am so impressed with Donna's writing. She is the perfect journalist. Passionate and committed, of course. You would have to be to do the massive amount of research she does. But she does not rely on empty rhetoric. She writes in a highly contested area, and her work will inevitably be closely scrutinised and savagely attacked by equally passionate vested interests. However, like all top journalists, she will prove to be untouchable because she never makes an assertion without it being supported by the facts. I don't read her work for literary style and rhetorical flourishes but for the facts. This book is not pleasant to read, but it is essential if you are to understand the origins of the irrational and vicious wrangling that pollutes the climate debate.

    Tells you all the stuff you needed to know about the IPCC but were afraid to ask. I think Donna has become a bit obsessive about Pachauri though, but possibly with good reason. At least someone (Donna) is watching and doing the research. Recommended.

    Great book, great author. Has diligently prepared and researched her material. Another book that should be compulsory reading for all journalists and TV presenters. There has been far too much sycophantic pandering to so called climate "experts" who are unable to look out of their own windows but instead rely on their own made computer cartoons! Well done, Donna!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2015

    What this book does is to throw into question the legitimacy of the IPCC. If this lady is right the IPCC is a completely corrupt and fraudulent organisation. This in turn means that Catastophic Golbal Warming is an enormous foolish scare similar to the great fear over the bug which was going to destroy all our computer records at the turn of the century. I must say that she writes with authority and she knows what she is talking about. It's an important book.

    Laframboise has been writing for years about the pitiful track record of the IPCC and of its chairman. Considering the importance of these guy's influence in our daily lives, this stuff should be all over the newspapers and TV. Instead, she is the only one writing about this. A must read for anyone considering paying a higher gasoline price to "save the planet".

    The main problem with the book is that it is not a book. Instead, it is a compilation of posts from her blog. The style is disjointed, not pleasant to read. I hope she will one day take the time to write a real book. This stuff is NYT bestseller material.
