The entire peer-review process has become a joke.

I guess it depends on whose peers are doing the reviewing.

Unfortunately, the current bunch in climate science should be reviewing sixth grade political position statements, not scientific papers.

The purpose of peer-review is for university professors to channel grant money to researchers they agree with, and away from researchers that they disagree with. That's what Michael Mann and Christopher Jones did in the climate "science" journals. The famous "emailgate" texts document it. (Climate "science" is not science because it does not use the scientific method, but that's a separate issue.)

Peer review: a flawed process at the heart of science and journals
