Is the term "Peer Reviewed" important and of any use when evaluating AGW literature?

Global warming has, unfortunately, become political science.

Bob has tasked skeptics to name "ONE paper that was prevented from publication by the guys whose emails you quote."

Would one suppressed by the EPA work for you?

The paper itself:

Peer review means the the document meets the criteria set by the Socialist peoples workers party formerly the democratic party. It has absolutely nothing to do with scientific accuracy of the paper. For the paper to be defined as scientifically accurate it must be evaluated through the scientific method developed by scientists after Galileo and other scientists had been suppressed by the then church controlled peer review system. The scientific method is real science openly reviewed and evaluated by real scientists. Peer review is of course controlled through political correctness and other systems designed to keep the oppressive ruling party in control of everything.

The real problem is that those who promote the AGW agenda know very little about science and how things really work. The sun is the source of 98% of the energy that warms the earth.

Sure. Among other things, peer review is responsible for determing the safety and effectiveness of any prescription medicine people take. Many lives depend on it. Like democracy, it isn't perfect, but it beats the alternatives.

And while the scientists were trash talking about their opponents (kinda like a football team) they didn't actually stop the publication of ANY papers. Name ONE paper that was prevented from publication by the guys whose emails you quote.

"Peer Reviewed" means it's been through the good ol' boys' offices and you're on their good list today. Yes, it's become too highly politicized and can not be trusted.
