On "peer review" and the "scientific review paper" which all of these AWG support arguments use to "prove" that the "science" is "settled"... Here is a great example of a "scientific paper" which collates and references real research and then presents it in such a way to prove an entirely unsupportable hypothesis. It was created by a researcher at the University of Calgary to demonstrate how the misuse of legitimate research can be manipulated to create an absurd conclusion.... Cigarette smoking: an underused tool in high-performance endurance training Kenneth A. Myers, BSc The review paper is a staple of medical literature and, when well executed by an expert in the field, can provide a summary of literature that generates useful recommendations and new conceptualizations of a topic. However, if research results are selectively chosen, a review has the potential to create a convincing argument for a faulty hypothesis. Improper correlation or extrapolation of data can result in dangerously flawed conclusions. The following paper seeks to illustrate this point, using existing research to argue the hypothesis that cigarette smoking enhances endurance performance and should be incorporated into high-level training programs. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
