"The paper was the most downloaded paper for that week across all Institute of Physics' journals, and was widely cited across hundreds of newspapers, magazines, blog posts, and scientific papers from around the world. It also ranked as the 11th most discussed scientific paper of 2013. The paper was awarded the 'Best article of 2013' prize by the editorial board of ERL."
Even before this latest episode the Cook paper had already disgraced from virtually all quarters including anyone with even a hint of integrity on the alarmist side. It was intended to be a fraud from the moment the concept was conceived, to say it was ever intended to be anything other than pure propaganda is a lie.

“The 97% “consensus” study, Cook et al. (2013) has been thoroughly refuted in scholarly peer-reviewed journals, by major news media, public policy organizations and think tanks, highly credentialed scientists and extensively in the climate blogosphere. The shoddy methodology of Cook’s study has been shown to be so fatally flawed that well known climate scientists have publicly spoken out against it.”
