    Nobody has an alternative. There isn't anything better, which isn't a problem with the process. It's a human problem. The number of different biases categorized numbers in the multiples of tens. Peer review, when it's done well minimizes the contributions our biases make. But it will never be...

    Yes. That is most definitely what I have done. It's illogical however to jump from that fact to a conclusion that the process then is meaningless. There is a reason that some journals are more prestigious than others, but still, they're not perfect. Anyone who has worked with this system knows...

    Right, I said he has a history of finding journals with reduced standards. I never said the peer review process is meaningless. That's a strawman argument. Peer review is the gold standard, but that doesn't mean it's infallible. Just because one surgeon botches a heart transplant doesn't mean...

    Who said that? No, Petros thinks that I'm moving goal posts. You can probably count in the tens the number of times I've mentioned the warming troposphere and cooling stratosphere if you search this site. It's one of the telltale signs that an enhanced greenhouse gas is trapping heat in the...

    Troposphere is the lowest layer of atmosphere sampled by the satellites that show the stratosphere is cooling. The ones the skeptics love so much. But I'm sure you knew that. :lol: ETA: Because everyone loves charts! Troposphere warming: Stratosphere cooling:

    the stratosphere is cooling when the troposphere warms. :D

    I already told you what was weird. The results, which I discussed earlier in this thread. If you're actually interested, stop being lazy and read the thread. I'm not interested in being your dance partner. For everyone else, maybe a lot of you reading this thread don't know, but Soon has a...

    You'll have to read the paper yourself, or read the thread.

    Peer reviewed findings can't be weird?

    Of course not, I discussed his weird findings earlier. In fact I even said I don't care where his money comes from, so long as the science is good. It's not.

    Yep, and it looks like Harvard Smithsonian is putting as much distance as they can between Soon and their institute: https://www.facebook.com/Smithsonian/posts/10153248862079574?fref=nf This one might actually send him looking for work elsewhere.

    Tell yourself whatever you like, there's certainly more than one difference between you and I. Tosh. I'll respond to the junk you post from news articles. The difference between satellites and thermometer records. Here's UAH since 1979 and HADCRUT: Parallel trend lines. Meaning equivalent...

    I'll stop you right there. There are many differences between you and I. You prefer editorials and blog science. I read papers. I'm a scientist, and you're, well I have no idea what you do for a living, but I'm highly skeptical that you're a scientist. I give you data, and your response isn't...

    Hmm, I linked you investigations that affirmed the results. I noticed Booker did not disprove the results of investigations into the records. Furthermore, as evidence that the records are accurate measurements of reality, the trends of station data are equivalent to satellite derived...
