Climate Auditor Challenged to Do Climate Science - Revkin - Dot Earth Blog - NYTimes.com
What is novel about all of this is how the blog discussions have sidestepped the traditional process of peer review and publication, then review and publication of critiques, and counter-critiques, by which science normally does that herky-jerky thing called knowledge building. The result is quick fodder for those using the Instanet to reinforce intellectual silos of one kind or another.

1) The era of the peer reviewed publication as arbitrator of "Truth" is over as far as I can see. The information age is upon us and anyone with an opinion and insight can comment on anything and a billion eyeballs can make the determination/review the work. In this case Mr Mcintire is just a bull dog that will not let go of this issue until we get to "truth". For that he is to be commended.From the comment section: Climate Auditor Challenged to Do Climate Science - Dot Earth Blog - NYTimes.com
Calling for SteveMc to contribute directly to scientific literature is nothing but an excuse used by people who wish to ignore him because they expect the 'gatekeepers' from the old boys network to stop him from publishing.
