There’s a list of 450 “peer reviewed papers supporting skepticism of ‘man-made’ global warming” making the rounds on the internet. Let’s take a closer look at it.
When peer review doesn’t mean peer review
Take a glance at that list, and it just leaps out at you: so many of the papers are all from the same source, from a journal called Energy & Environment. I counted 79 out of the 450, all from just one journal. Now, it isn’t the case that global warming is a small, narrowly focused field of research; if it was, one might expect it to be served by relatively few journals, and this large number of papers from a single journal wouldn’t be so strange. But global warming is a very broad field of research. It draws on a large number of disciplines, from atmospheric physics, paleoclimatology, marine science and more. It should, therefore, strike you as odd that fully 17% of the skeptical papers on this list all come from the journal Energy & Environment. And what a journal it is. From wikipedia: |
