Even if it does get published, it's like the front-page headline announcing you're a rapist/mass murderer followed by the page 14 retraction the next day. The accepted view is page 1. Anything else is page 14 or under oddities in the news.

Bullshit.
There have been 5 inquiries into the matter of the data at East Anglia. 5. Penn State. The House of Commons. The Royal Society. East Anglia itself. And last, but not least, the Inspector General of the department of commerce of the USA (a Bush Appointee) by a request of senator James Inhofe (a republican). Not one of them found any evidence of academic wrong doing. I don't want to derail the thread, but bullshit needs to stop once it has been so thoroughly debunked. So some guys were reluctant to release information they had, and an email mentioned using different data sources to create a graph where no single data source could cover the whole period. This was all that was found after looking through thousands of email messages. To read this and then read that last line is ironic, to say the least. As the east anglia case is a perfect example of the sensational headline followed by the page 14 retraction.
And I've yet to see the great scientific research that disproves global warming but can't get published because of the vast existing conspiracy against it.
