Joanne Nova

Nova had a five-part debate on AGW with Dr. Andrew Glikson, first on Quadrant Online, and continuing on her own blog. In 2012, she appeared in the ABC Television documentary I Can Change Your Mind About ... Climate with her partner David Evans, in discussion with Nick Minchin and Anna Rose.

She self-published the book The Skeptics Handbook, which rejects the scientific consensus on climate change and promotes various falsehoods about climate change. The book argues that temperatures have not increased, and that greenhouse gases do not contribute to climate change. The book promotes the myth that there is already so much CO2 in the atmosphere that adding more will not have an impact on temperatures. The book was widely distributed in the United States by The Heartland Institute, known primarily for promoting pseudoscientific views on climate change and the harms of smoking. In 2009, Nova self-published a sequel, Global Bullies Want Your Money, and in the same year she wrote a paper for the SPPI titled Climate Money. That year, she gave a presentation at the Heartland Institute, titled "The Great Global Fawning: How Science Journalists Pay Homage to Non-Science and Un-Reason."

From November 1999 to February 2000, Nova was the host of the first series of Australian children's science television show Y? She was a regular guest on ABC Radio. She is a director of GoldNerds, a gold investment advice business.

Joanne Nova is an Australian writer, blogger, and speaker. Born Joanne Codling, she adopted the stage name "Nova" in 1998 when she was preparing to host a children's television program. She is prominent for promoting climate change denial.

Nova received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Western Australia. Her major was microbiology, molecular biology. Nova received a Graduate Certificate in Scientific Communication from the Australian National University in 1989.
