The company claims that articles are peer reviewed by scientific experts before publication.[8] In October 2022, most to all of its journals did not have a scientific editor-in-chief. Criticism of publishing practices[edit] The company has been criticized for predatory open-access publishing.[4][5][6] In an experiment, university business professor Fiona McQuarrie submitted an article to International Journal of Astrophysics and Space Science from Science Publishing Group, using pseudonyms "Maggie Simpson" and "Edna Krabappel" (characters from the cartoon series The Simpsons). Although the article had been generated by the SCIgen computer program and was nonsense, it was accepted for publication.[9] Librarian Jeffrey Beall, creator of a list of predatory open-access publishers, cites a nonsensical article in American Journal of Applied Mathematics, containing an alleged proof of Buddhist karma.[1] Science Publishing Group has also been cited more directly as a predatory journal and a scam, using more than 200 pseudo-publications like American Journal of Applied Mathematics or International Journal of Transportation Engineering and Technology.[1][10] The publisher uses techniques related to scams like aggressive emailing (spamming campaigns) with replaced characters (α for a, for example) or invitations to publish in exchange for a payment in order to fool unsuspecting scholars.[11][12] Eco you've just been schooled mate!

Johnson, Natural News March 13, 2024 in Commentary, Curated Discern Report was recently named a “Christian Nationalist” conservative news aggregator. We’re okay with this label. (Natural News)—In an attempt to save the world from “climate change,” the United States government is spending trillions of dollars on multiple projects that rely on dishonest marketing tactics, money laundering schemes, insider trading and crony capitalism. At the root of the climate crisis hysteria is data FRAUD, and scientists around the world are pushing back against the climate change narrative. Scientists detect flaws in the collection of global temperature data Governments around the world are combating a fictional problem that is blown completely out of proportion when compared to actual issues that people face. To make matters worse, the Biden regime adheres to dogma and relies on its most recent National Climate Assessment report to argue that human activities are accelerating global warming. The policies coming out of D.C seek to restrict, control or modulate human activities at scale to save the planet from temperatures changes that are out of our control anyway. Mike Lindell and MyPillow are fighting the good fight while delivering quality products. Some “conservative” outlets have stopped allowing them as a sponsor. We will continue to support the company and the mission. Use promo code “JDR” for maximum discount at MyPillow. The National Climate Assessment report (based on a biased agenda and fueled by multinational business interests) uses data fraud to drive climate change hysteria. The report states that man-made emissions of “greenhouse gases” like carbon dioxide are causing the Earth to become dangerously hot. The U.S. EPA and the UN Intergovernmental Panel (IPCC) share this view, and their leaders are pushing for major global policy changes to combat it. But scientists from all over the world in a range of disciplines are fighting back. These scientists point to peer reviewed studies that show flaws in the global temperature data. Some of the issues with temperature data include the lack of geographic and historical data, heat from urban areas contaminating the records and the corruption of the data due to a process known as “homogenization.” According to three independent scientists with the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences, (CERES) these data flaws are so severe that they render the temperature data — and the models that rely on it — useless. When data corruption is considered, the alleged “climate crisis” disappears. Alex Newman from the Epoch Times covers this corruption in great detail. Man-made activities are not to blame for these temperature changes. Policies that seek to control human activity are totalitarian in nature and based on fraud and hysteria. “Climate activism has become the new religion of the 21st century — heretics are not welcome and not allowed to ask questions,” said CERES founder and astrophysicist Willie Soon. “But good science demands that scientists are encouraged to question the IPCC’s dogma. The supposed purity of the global temperature record is one of the most sacred dogmas of the IPCC.” Today’s urban areas are used to skew historic temperature data CERES presents the case that natural climate variability explains what is being observed. “When people ask about global warming or climate change, it is essential to ask, ‘Since when?’ The data shows that it has warmed since the 1970s, but that this followed a period of cooling from the 1940s,” he said. Three Reasons Lab-Grown “Meat” Must Be Stopped When the temperature data of today is compared to the 19th century, the world seems to have warmed drastically; however, when put in perspective, the 19th century “was exceptionally cold” and was historically a mini-ice age. Because of this, the temperatures of the 21st century could be considered normal, and the higher CO2 levels could be considered more conducive for plant regeneration and agriculture. Furthermore, the data that has historically been gathered from rural temperature stations, ocean measurements, weather balloons, satellite measurements, tree rings, glaciers and lake sediments, “show that the climate has always changed,” Mr. Soon said. He said the climate outside of the cities is not unusual. It’s the heat from the urban areas that is skewing the data, and these are the temperature sources that are extrapolated to make the case that the whole world is burning up. But that’s just not the case. “If we exclude the urban temperature data that only represents 3 percent of the planet, then we get a very different picture of the climate,” Mr. Soon said.

From the paper you love "The aim of this paper is to simplify the method of achieving a figure for climate sensitivity." We need more complexity, not less. The trouble with the models which your people rely on is that they are not sophisticated enough, they are incomplete models which exclude some of the most important variables. That renders the models themselves worthless and the correlation coefficients biased. Any undergraduate in statistical models could point out the flaws in those models. I recall that Jay brought one of the most sophisticated models onto this thread, but he failed to notice that it included no solar variables, which I had to discover for him. The paper by Coe and others shows a very straightforward way (which only the most capable of climate scientists would understand) to calculate the relative contributions of the various greenhouse gases and this paper has not been challenged by any climate scientist, as far as I know, And no, they are certainly aware of this paper, they certainly "care" about it, but just have no challenge to make of it. A study which is not challenged gains credibility, those who disagree with it must find a challenge or be consigned to the dustbin of science history.

The cost of publication is trivial compared to how much the organization paid for the researches salary, lab equipment, etc. I assure you if you write a paper that is anywhere close to good enough to get in Nature you don't have to worry about a few thousand bucks, somebody will give you lots of money as it brings prestige to the organization. They generally increase your research group funding as well. Do you have any idea how expensive scientific research is? Our lab spent about 1,000,000 CND between salaries and operating expenses, not including capital purchases. A single GC-MS-MS can run well over $300,000. Climate researchers spend big money on supercomputers and the electricity they need. It is beyond silly to think a few thousand in publication expenses is relevant.

Some of the issues with temperature data include the lack of geographic and historical data, heat from urban areas contaminating the records and the corruption of the data due to a process known as “homogenization.” According to three independent scientists with the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences, (CERES) these data flaws are so severe that they render the temperature data — and the models that rely on it — useless. When data corruption is considered, the alleged “climate crisis” disappears. Alex Newman from the Epoch Times covers this corruption in great detail. Man-made activities are not to blame for these temperature changes. Policies that seek to control human activity are totalitarian in nature and based on fraud and hysteria. “Climate activism has become the new religion of the 21st century — heretics are not welcome and not allowed to ask questions,” said CERES founder and astrophysicist Willie Soon. “But good science demands that scientists are encouraged to question the IPCC’s dogma. The supposed purity of the global temperature record is one of the most sacred dogmas of the IPCC.” Today’s urban areas are used to skew historic temperature data CERES presents the case that natural climate variability explains what is being observed. “When people ask about global warming or climate change, it is essential to ask, ‘Since when?’ The data shows that it has warmed since the 1970s, but that this followed a period of cooling from the 1940s,” he said. Three Reasons Lab-Grown “Meat” Must Be Stopped When the temperature data of today is compared to the 19th century, the world seems to have warmed drastically; however, when put in perspective, the 19th century “was exceptionally cold” and was historically a mini-ice age. Because of this, the temperatures of the 21st century could be considered normal, and the higher CO2 levels could be considered more conducive for plant regeneration and agriculture. Furthermore, the data that has historically been gathered from rural temperature stations, ocean measurements, weather balloons, satellite measurements, tree rings, glaciers and lake sediments, “show that the climate has always changed,” Mr. Soon said. He said the climate outside of the cities is not unusual. It’s the heat from the urban areas that is skewing the data, and these are the temperature sources that are extrapolated to make the case that the whole world is burning up. But that’s just not the case. “If we exclude the urban temperature data that only represents 3 percent of the planet, then we get a very different picture of the climate,” Mr. Soon said.

This Could Be A Gamechanger For Natural Gas In Europe Those days are over. But Germany, the European Union’s biggest economy, still needs natural gas, even if this winter’s storage is nearly full. It’s not full as a result of domestic sources. Germany has traded one form of dependence for another. The filling up of winter storage has come at a high price tag thanks to expensive LNG imports, which are now at risk, as well, due to the Biden administration’s pause on new LNG export projects. At the height of the crisis, the European Union was paying some 40% more for U.S. LNG imports than it was for Russian piped gas. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/This-Could-Be-A-Gamechanger-For-Natural-Gas-In-Europe.html Edited March 14 by Eyes Wide Open Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
