Any scientist, even the ones that are noted specialist in their field, say <a href=\"http:\/\/www-eaps.mit.edu\/faculty\/lindzen.htm\">atmospheric science<\/a>, are discounted if their research and peer reviewed studies either discount or indicate flaws in the dogmatic AGW party line.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dr Myanna Lahsen, a cultural anthropologist at the University of Colorado, has specialised in understanding how professional scientists, some of them with highly respected careers, turn climate sceptic. She found the largest common factor was a shared sense that they had personally lost prestige and authority as the result of campaigns by liberals and environmentalists. She concluded that their engagement in climate issues &#8220;can be understood in part as a struggle to preserve their particular culturally charged understanding of environmental reality.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Or maybe there actually is resistance from the true believers who control the peer review process. Example &#8211; a comment from one of the peer reviewers at Journal of Climate, who felt the paper should be rejected because:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cthe only object I can see for this paper is for the authors to get something in the peer-reviewed literature which the ignorant can cite as supporting lower climate sensitivity than the standard IPCC range\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The paper was later published in the <strong>peer review<\/strong> journal \u201cTheoretical and Applied Climatology\u201d. So tell me Dr. Myanna Lahsen, who here is struggling <em>to preserve their particular culturally charged understanding of environmental reality<\/em>. Maybe there is a nugget of truth to the concerns of scientist who publish studies that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.climateaudit.org\/?p=5416#more-5416\">don&#8217;t tow the party line<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I could go on, but why bother. I&#8217;m psychotic, remember&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>PS. BTW, The quote from Dr Myanna Lahsen in the Guardian article misspelled <strong>specialized<\/strong> and <strong>skeptic<\/strong>.
