Jo Nova wins Dauntless Purveyor of Climate Truth Award 2023
What an honor. I am just so humbled to win the Dauntless Award of 2023.
I mean apart from the towering giants of the Climate Skeptic world who have already won it, to be on the same page as Walt Cunningham, one of the three Apollo 7 astronauts, who risked their lives for science, is a career highlight.
Walt Cunningham helped make NASA what it is, and he could have said nothing, but he became an outspoken skeptic of the way NASA was abusing the trust of the public, and abusing science.
He was a fighter pilot and a physicist who flew on the first manned launch after the tragic fire that killed all three astronauts on Apollo 1. Sadly the world lost Walt only weeks ago.
Other Dauntless winners include Dr Jay Lehr (who helped set up the US EPA fifty years ago and then spent decades working to undo that) and legends like Marc Morano (Climate Depot), Professor Fred Singer, and Christopher Monckton. People who I have learnt so much from.
In the video below, Craig Rucker announces the award from 25.20. From 28 minutes Heartland and CFACT went to so much trouble to make a mini documentary of yours truly. From 33 minutes I accept live from Perth Australia, the other side of the world. Isn’t technology great?

Redpill the world — The NASA heroes the media buries
In 2013 I wrote about Walter Cunningham and pointed out four Apollo Astronauts then were outspoken climate skeptics, yet the ABC, BBC and mass media would not even pick up the phone to call them and ask “why?”
This is a great RedPill moment to share with people who still think journalists are still journalists, instead of obedient propaganda hacks and weak minions of the powers that be.
Where were the real reporters who interviewed Buzz Aldrin or Harrison Schmidt (2 of the 12 men who walked on the moon), or Phil Chapman (Apollo 14) and Walter Cunningham (Apollo 7)?
I asked Walt Cunningham then about journalism. He replied:
No one in the media has ever asked if I was a “skeptic,” although it has always been rather obvious.
I have been writing and speaking on the climate and environment since about 2000.
The frequent reaction to my writings is: “What can he know about climate science? He’s just an astronaut.”
Check the comments on Larry’s article on our interview.
I was a founder of an environmental concern organization back in 1970. I also spent 5 years on the board of NREL.
Don’t miss the first ten minutes of the video above — a tribute to the excellent men we’ve lost in the last year, not just Walt but also Jay Lehr, Tom Wysmuller, Pat Michaels, and Tim Ball.
I was booked to do a podcast with Jay Lehr in May this year, sadly he too died a week or so after Walt Cunningham in January. I will do one with Tom Nelson soon instead, details coming.
CFACT generously offered to fly me to Florida to accept the award, which I would have been delighted to do, however the US still requires full vaccination for entry. Hard to believe, but true.

Hi PSI Readers and PSI Editors,
Why does Jo Nova have to publicize her own achievements here at PSI? As she describes what Walt Cunningham who stated “I have been writing and speaking on the climate and environment since about 2000.” which he has done without recognition.
I can write the same thing about PSI Editors and Readers which Walt wrote about the “media”. There are irrefutable observations (data) which did not exist much before 1985. However, the international atmospheric data has existed more than two decades earlier and for all those years the air temperature has never been observed to be less than the atmosphere’s dew point temperature being measured at the same place and time. Hence the air (atmospheric) can never be less than that measured to the nearest degree. It’s that simple; too simple maybe.,
Have a good day

Hi Jerry,
Why don’t you have a look at this: https://joannenova.com.au/ once a while.
The lady you mentioned in your comment does a great job in promoting the truth in this nauseating environment of “climate change” BS / Propaganda.
Cheers, JaKo

I would suggest she doesn’t have to, she chose to.

Hi JaKo and Andy,
At https://joannenova.com.au/ Jo has a monthly archive which begins September 2008. And the following is a portion of her post of 1/6/2012 before there was PSI.
“John “O’Sullivan puts his house on the line — more than any skeptic ought to be asked to do. UPDATE 2014: Claims made that “Michael Mann Faces Bankruptcy as his Courtroom Climate Capers Collapse” on Feb 22, are incorrect. See here for more information. This post below is two years old, and many things have changed. Jo”
I do not remember when I discovered Jo’s website, I do remember how she had publicized the PSI founders’ first book and I remember that I faithfully read, and sometimes commented about that which I read. Just as I am now doing at PSI.
JaKo you asked: “Why don’t you have a look at this: https://joannenova.com.au/ once a while.[?] So I’m quite familiar with some of what she has done for John’s and PSI’s causes. And Andy, I ask again: Why does Jo Nova have to publicize her own achievements here at PSI?
Have a good day, Jerry.
