Donna Laframboise: Thank You, Truckers! | Tom Nelson Pod #343
Independent journalist/photographer. A career challenging dogma re climate, feminism, Canada's legal system. Grew up working class (dad: auto mechanic, mom: never finished high school). Never been politically correct, never been a member of the media inner circle.Donna Laframboise discusses her latest book, 'Thank You Truckers Canada's Heroes,' which chronicles the 2022 trucker convoy in Ottawa against COVID-19 mandates, highlighting the misrepresentation by mainstream media and the heartwarming solidarity among ordinary Canadians. She explains the hardships faced by the truckers, the public's overwhelming support, and the subsequent mistreatment by the government, including the freezing of bank accounts and severe penalties for non-violent protesters. Additionally, Laframboise provides insights into her previous investigative work on the IPCC's climate change reports and raises concerns about the current media landscape and political dynamics in Canada.00:00 Introduction to Donna Laframboise01:15 Media Coverage and Public Perception01:50 Writing the Book: Thank You Truckers04:23 Impact of the Trucker Convoy05:25 Freezing Bank Accounts: A Civil Liberties Issue08:12 Distrust in Media and Government09:05 Class Divide in Journalism11:44 Protesters' Motivations and Stories16:07 Support from Ordinary Canadians19:19 Mark Carney and Canadian Politics24:19 Climate Change Skepticism27:03 Crowdsourcing the IPCC Report28:53 The Delinquent Teenager Book31:10 Current Projects and Book Promotion33:29 Heartwarming Stories from the Freedom Convoy38:55 Legal Battles and Government Response46:35 Comparisons and Broader Implications52:05 Concluding Thoughts and Reflectionshttps://x.com/NOconsensushttps://thankyoutruckers.substack.com/Donna’s books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00EZWIV7S/allbooks?ccs_id=07ceaeb3-071d-4bb2-91cc-106c0fa6753c=========My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Andy May: “Orwellian firing of a journal editor” | Tom Nelson Pod #339
Andy May discusses the firing of Dr. Marty Rowland for publishing a paper co-authored with Marcel Crok that argued carbon dioxide and current climate conditions are not problematic. The paper, despite being highly cited and based on peer-reviewed literature, faced political backlash and criticism, notably from figures like Michael Mann, leading to Roland’s dismissal. May criticizes the politically driven nature of climate science, highlights the importance of documenting diverse views, and warns against the suppression of scientific debate.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:55 Debate and Criticism of the Paper01:29 Dr. Rowland's Perspective and Response02:16 Journal's Reaction and Further Criticism03:33 Political and Social Implications07:26 Personal Reflections and Optimism08:57 Suspicions and Allegations14:51 Peer Review and Scientific Integrity17:28 Climate Models and Predictions20:04 Weather Forecasting and Long-term Predictions22:31 El Nino, La Nina, and Volcanic Activity25:11 Historical Climate Patterns26:40 Future Climate Predictions27:00 Ice Caps on Other Planets27:34 Suppression of Scientific Research29:25 Einstein's Peer Review Struggles31:01 The Iris Effect and Climate Models33:43 Ocean Temperature Limits40:18 Exxon's Climate Change Research47:59 Concluding Thoughts on Climate SkepticismHere is the full May and Crok paper (PDF): https://andymaypetrophysicist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Carbon-Dioxide-and-a-Warming-Climate-are-not-problems_Final_Submission_no_logo.pdf‘Shut out’: Journal fires editor after publishing research refuting ‘warming climate’: https://www.thecollegefix.com/shut-out-journal-fires-editor-after-publishing-research-refuting-warming-climate/More on the firing of Dr. Marty Rowland for publishing May & Crok 2025: https://andymaypetrophysicist.com/2025/08/17/an-orwellian-firing-at-the-american-journal-of-economics-and-sociology/https://x.com/Andy_May_Writer=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summarieshttps://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
