It might as well be. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to point out that the consequences of basing political and economic decisions on the content of those papers will run into the trillions of dollars.
If there were ever a field in which it's important to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, climatology is it.
- Tichy 17y agoI'm sorry, but if such decisions are made without even double checking the results, then maybe it is not even the scientists to blame. Also, this is pure speculation. From ESR's article I gather that it is not even known how and when the data was used. They could not yet point to an actual published article. And, who are these people, are they like the most famous climate researchers ever, the Einsteins of climate research? Are they the only climate researchers on the planet? I can't imagine that they have that much influence.
