“Whats the point of this publication if theyre not going to bother with peer review?”
As I have pointed out before, these days peer review is mostly for political correctness, not scientific accuracy or correct methodology. And the political correctness of anti-Trump propaganda is self evident. Numerous hoax papers have made it through the peer review process to publication. As have plenty of junk science papers that were intended to be serious.
Apparently, not providing access to data and models has become the norm in scientific papers over the past 2 decades. Look to climate science as the worst offender.
