If anyone needs a clear, concise, and irrefutable example of how peer review in climate science is biased for the consensus and against skeptics, this is it.
Pal-review at work: Spencer and Braswell rebuttal published after just SIX WEEKS | Australian Climate Madness
Whereas a sceptical paper could take up to TWO YEARS (e.g. Lindzen and Choi). I guess it’s all a question of who you know and what side you’re on, right?
Do Tropical Storms correlate with CO2? In a word — No « JoNova: Science, carbon, climate and tax
Records of actual tropical storms or proxies for storms show:

Global energy levels haven’t changed since records of that sort of thing began.
Global frequencies haven’t changed either.
Neither Australian or US extreme storms are becoming more common
US Tornadoes are not getting worse either.
Long term studies show it’s not about CO2, and not much about temperature, but more about La Nina’s and El Nino’s.

Anthony Watts has an interesting post about the temperature record for England which is getting much warmer than the records for Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Remarkably, it is even diverging from the Central England Temperature record.
