“When will your peer-reviewed paper be appearing?”

Ah, I see you’ve bought the “peer-reviewed” Kool Aid. So sorry.

Wonder who “peer-reviewed” Newton, Galileo, the Wright brothers—oh that’s right, while the Wright brothers were flying around the “peer-reviewed” academic scientists were still publishing papers proving heavier-than-air human flight was impossible.

Global-warming science is “peer-reviewed”. I have absolutely no interest in the opinion or approval of my “peers” whom I regard as mostly fools—how many of them have bought into global-warming and every leftist idea in the world?

Oops. That’s going to put you on the outs with the self-declared defenders of science.

I’ve made comments like that and gotten shredded for it.

Peer review is a sacred cow in spite of things like Climategate and the Bogdanov Affair.

If you're putting yourself in the same class with those boys, then you've problems that far out weigh your inability to demonstrate that you have no bias.

"Global-warming science is “peer-reviewed”. I have absolutely no interest in the opinion or approval of my “peers” whom I regard as mostly fools—how many of them have bought into global-warming and every leftist idea in the world?"

You ought to feel right at home with this last bunch you mention. You can't back up what you say either.
