Climategate

With respect to climate change or catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW), activity that would qualify as censorship was discussed in the climategate emails.  This included discussions about how to prevent papers at odds with the CAGW hypothesis from being published and what to do about journal editors who allowed such papers to appear in their journals.

These discussions mention “putting pressure on the publisher” to get rid of the offending editor.  In at least one instance they were successful in getting an editor fired from his job, because he approved a paper for publication that did not promote the party line.  In another instance after applying pressure on the editor, a paper that had been approved for publication was pulled and not published.

Another method of preventing papers from being published because they cast doubt on the CAGW hypothesis is to stack the peer review process against the author.  The opposite of this is “pal review” where only reviewers solidly behind the CAGW hypothesis and pals of the author are selected to review a paper.  This, of course, would guarantee approval in the peer review process.

Today’s post shows Facebook is censoring views it does not like.

The sequence below brings directly to CASF, our members and friends, and other curious individuals, proof that Big Tech, rather than fostering Continue reading “Facebook Censorship of CASF”
