Journal editor "apologises" to warmist for publishing sceptical paper | Australian Climate Madness

So because a warmist scientist considers the paper has flaws, a journal editor chooses to resign and apologise. Let’s turn the situation around for a moment: I would assume that Spencer and many other sceptical scientists would have a few issues with some of the consensus boys’ papers too, but I don’t see any editors rushing to resign because of that, do you? No, of course not.

Roger Pielke Jr.'s Blog: Retraction, Remote Sensing and Due Process

[omniclimate] Roger - if "post-publication discussions of a scientific paper in the media or on blogs" can now "be used as the basis for subsequently re-evaluating the scientific merit of that paper within the scientific peer review process", it just means that blogs and the media are now to be considered on-par with peer-review as ways to evaluate the scientific merit of a paper.

IOW all people that support Wagner's resignation are telling the world that the old complaint against skeptics "your article hasn't been subjected to peer-review!" is not valid any longer. A blog or an interview will suffice.

Methinks only Gavin could come up with such a spectacular own goal.
