C3: How Bad Are Peer Reviewed Journals? Geophysical Research Letters' Editors Calais & Diffenbaugh Reveal How Bad
The climate science peer review journal process has become just a total joke, with editors and reviewers constantly embarrassing themselves and their respective publications. The latest examples of biased hackdom include Eric Calais of Purdue University and Noah Diffenbaugh at Stanford, editors for the AGU's Geophysical Research Letters.[English Major] Chris Mooney | Unequivocal: Today’s Right is Overwhemingly More Anti-Science Than Today's Left
The real problem is therefore not mistakes. It’s attacking established knowledge, and spreading clearly refuted falsehoods, for political reasons. And clinging to them, sinking into denial. That is what we are actually talking about.Call for an Open Debate on Climate Science.

On the left, we eat alive our own allies when they make false claims...We don’t follow the leader—any leader. This is part of our inherent disunity (often a political liability) and anti-authoritarian psychology.
[Tim Ball] I watched the politicization of climate science and the deliberate misdirection. The scientific method was thwarted by creating a hypothesis and instead of allowing other scientists to disprove it the IPCC was set up to prove it and attacked those who dared to question. I was one of those scientists who was derided as a global warming skeptic until I pointed out all scientists must be skeptics and the world had warmed since 1680 – the nadir of the Little Ice Age. Indeed, overall it had warmed since the last Ice Age that bottomed 20,000 years ago.
In 2002 CO2 continued to increase while temperatures declined so they switched from warming to climate change. Now we were climate change deniers, with all the holocaust connotations of the word, but the reality is I have spent my career telling people how much the climate changes naturally...I continue to be a target evidenced by two lawsuits filed within nine days of each other, one by Andrew Weaver, and the other by Michael Mann. I understand that these suits would have no traction in the United States because of Freedom of Speech. This is, in my opinion, the most valuable, albeit occasionally troublesome freedom Americans have. Canada’s protections do not go far enough.
