What has been the result of failing to initially suppress and then to constrain the growth of the skeptic blogosphere?
The first is that it has undeniably become a major influence in the world of climate science. Given how truly dysfunctional the peer review process has become in that area, effectively it's now the skeptic blogosphere which is doing that job and it's doing it in public. Gaia help any activist scientist caught trying to slip past the sort of slipshod rubbish that used to be waved through the pal review process a few years ago. Nowadays, they're like little school children, fearfully eyeing a stern teacher, who they know will really mark their homework very severely. It's all a bit scary for the poor little darlings.
