Hear hear! [here, here in American]<I am interested in the science in the message. I do not care about who said or how many others agree or not.
The honest scientific method is every person reading, thinking and understanding or not. Sadly so many get lost in the political process morass.
Peer review has become fast food science for the lazy mind.>
Peer review is just cash-flow establishmentarianism. Having robust critique is essential to weeding out the muck, but anyone can do that; peers, pals, non-experts, casual bystanders, siblings, parents. Just because something is peer reviewed doesn't mean I accept it and just because no peers or pals have reviewed it doesn't mean I reject it.
For example, my double Nobel climate change periodicity theory and oil production theory might meet critique which falsifies one or both. As Albert Einstein said, it would take only one person to show I'm wrong, not consensus. Consensus is not science, it's politics and money, namely opm.
