A fascinating symptom of the climate-change religion is the Believer who comes down with a case of something approaching holy worship of the phrase "peer review". Magic, magic "peer review" - all-powerful and truth-finding. Listen to any Believer, there is nothing "peer review" can't accomplish. Whatever has been "peer reviewed" is double-plus yestruth. Whatever has not been "peer reviewed" is void and nothingness.
This "peer review" worship is especially intense among Believers who know nothing about science, have never participated in science, have never written a scientific paper, and of course, it goes without saying, have never themselves been one of those vaunted "peer reviewers" they worship so much. Like I have.
There is a paradox, however. If "peer reviewers" are so infallible, and I've been a "peer reviewer", and yet I reject the Global Warming religion, shouldn't a climate-change Believer's head explode?

TheURge heads should be exploding, which is why dissenting peers' opinions are suppressed.
Dissent in the church of global warming will not be tolerated.
Dang. Misspell due to iPod.
isnt that the title of the song gene wilder sang in the original willy wonkas chocolate factory?
peer review is magical?
you know,...right before Augustus Gloop fell into the chocolate river and the epa had to shut them down?
Well, I know Epaminondas doesn't care for Oompah Loompahs much (something deep seeded from childhood) but I didn't think he'd shut down the enitre Wonkawerks for that. . .
