Not only do they not check each others work, they try to prevent anyone else from checking either ... see Climate Audit or the Climategate emails. One of the greatest climate gurus admitted he secretly thinks another one committed fraud on an important climate paper, but everyone concerned worked to cover it up and the one person seeking to uncover the fraud was denounced as a troublemaker: ;;;; Tom Wigley to Phil Jones: (1188557698.txt) Phil, Seems to me that KEENAN has a valid point. The statements in the papers that he quotes seem to be incorrect statements, and that someone (WCW [Wang] at the very least) must have known at the time that they were incorrect. .... ....Now my views. (1) I have always thought W-C W was a rather sloppy scientist. I therefore would not be surprised if he screwed up here. But ITEM X is in both the W-C W and JONES et al. papers — so where does it come from first? Were you taking W-C W on trust? (2) It also seems to me that the University at Albany has screwed up. To accept a complaint from KEENAN and not refer directly to the complaint and the complainant in its report really is asking for trouble. ..... ..... I realise that KEENAN is just a trouble maker and out to waste time, so I apologize for continuing to waste your time on this, Phil. However, I am concerned because all this happened under my watch as Director of CRU and, although this is unlikely, the buck eventually should stop with me.” Message 26141944
