So
Actively suppressed peer reviewed studies eh?
yep.
they even went so far as to imply that some journals had been "hijacked by deniers" because they published articles which didnt fit the narrative.
"The Soon Baliunas paper couldn’t have cleared a “legitimate” peer review process anywhere. That leaves only one possibility—that the peer-review process at
Climate Research has been hijacked by a few skeptics on the editorial board. And it isn’t just De Freitas unfortunately
I think this group also includes a member of my own department... The skeptics appear to have staged a “coup” at
Climate Research (it was a mediocre journal to begin with, but now it’s a mediocre journal with a definite “purpose”)" ~Mann in his own e-mails
he goes on to babble:
"I told Mike (MacCracken) that I believed our only choice was to ignore this
paper. They’ve already achieved what they wanted—the claim of a peer-reviewed paper. There is nothing we can do about that now, but the last thing we want to do is bring attention to this paper, which will be ignored by the community on the whole...
It is pretty clear that the skeptics here have staged a bit of a coup, even in the presence of a number of reasonable folks on the editorial boar" ~Mann Again.
"My guess is that Von Storch is actually with them (frankly, he’s an odd individual, and I’m not sure he isn’t himself somewhat of a skeptic himself), and with Von Storch on their side, they would have a very forceful personality promoting their new vision.
There have been several papers by Pat Michaels, as well as the Soon and Baliunas paper, that couldn’t get published in a reputable journal.
This was the danger of always criticising the skeptics for not publishing in the “peer-reviewed literature”. Obviously, they found a solution to that—
take over a journal!" ~Mann just cant shut up
he was trying to start a witch hunt because everybody doesnt simply believe what he tells em when he tries to "Hide the decline"
and hey, look, you and bucklefuckle ride the same horse, just less expertly.
