The author doesn’t seem to understand the concept of peer review.
Maybe you can explain it to him.
Since he’s on the faculty of a physical sciences department at an Ivy League school there is the off chance that he is, in fact, familar with the concept.
The peer-reviews carried out by the ‘scientists’ at CRU and the IPCC were used as a way of pushing through agenda-driven science and driving actual science to the curb.
No matter how it ought to work, the peer-review process became corrupted when people like Jones, Briffa and Mann were reviewing each others papers and preventing others from getting published. The author seems to understand this.
