| Quote (olegt @ July 21 2008,12:59) | DLH might benefit from taking a peek at the actual process of peer review in an APS journal, such as Physical Review Letters. Here is an excerpt from the form a referee submits to the editors (in addition to a written report):

This form is to assist the Editors and is not a substitute for
your written report. It may be useful, however, as an outline
for your report, which should explain why the paper does, or
does not, meet our criteria.

The Physics & Society editor did not evaluate any of those points. There are two obvious reasons for that: (i) Physics & Society does not referee its articles. (ii) The editor, Al Saperstein, is not an expert on climate. Saperstein merely asked Monckton to edit the letter for clarity. That's not peer review by any measure. |
Let's hope evil scientists never splice the DLH gene with the Andy Schlafly gene. Woe to humanity if that kind of turbo-tard should ever be unleashed on mankind. I shudder at the thought.
For super DLH tard take a look at what he contributes to conservapedia. That dunce makes Dave Tard look smart.
