‘Shenanigans Continue in Climate Science’
Roger Pielke, Jr., describes how a peer-reviewed paper about climate change is being retracted by a scientific journal —for no legitimate reason.
“A Critical Assessment of Extreme Events Trends in Times of Global Warming” was written by Galluca Almonti and colleagues and published in January 2022 in the journal European Physical Journal Plus (EPJP).
The retraction process started because several scientists were quoted by the media (the leftwing Guardian, and one or two others) as saying it was faulty.

Climate Change Narrative Is “Corruption of Science,” says 2022 Physics Nobel Laureate
John Clauser, one of three recipients of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, does not mince words. He has just joined the CO2 Coalition, a group critical of global warming extremism. In its announcement he was quoted as saying:
“The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people. Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. . .
