Warmist Revkin on climate science: "you can end up with kind of a group-thinky process"

Reliable Sources in an Age of Too Much Information - NYTimes.com

In the special arenas within a problem like climate change, you have pretty small groups of scientists working on problems like Greenland’s ice or Arctic sea ice or ocean acidification. In all those instances, you’re talking about probably a few dozen people at most for whom it’s their full-time preoccupation. So you can end up with kind of a group-thinky process….

That’s why you can also have people come in from the outside and help with other aspects of assessing the work, the statistical rigor of it. They don’t necessarily have to be in the field. They’re just people who are good at gauging statistics. If someone says something is significant – in the rigorous use of that term – someone from outside can look at that question, even if they don’t know anything about, for example, sea ice. It should all be in the paper in terms of the calculations that were made.
