ABC News Watch: Missing Voices: IPCC more like a weblog than an academic report

[Ross McKitrick, professor of economics at the University of Guelph] "The IPCC “peer review” process is not like the one academic journals use, in which reviewers actually have the authority to recommend rejection and require changes; instead it is more like a limited, voluntary public comment process. Since the IPCC gives Lead Authors the sole right to determine content and accept or dismiss comments, it is more like a weblog than an academic report."
