Here is the notice from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/journal\/13360\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The European Physical Journal Plus<\/em><\/a>, which has officially retracted the paper with this statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cRetraction Note: A critical assessment of extreme events trends in times of global warming<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Original Article was published on 13 January 2022<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Retraction Note: Eur.

When climate alarmism raised its ugly head objecting, the paper was retracted. This cowardly decision was the subject of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2023\/08\/16\/team-climate-crisis-resorts-to-bullying-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Team Climate Crisis Resorts to Bullying, Again<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;<\/em>published at WUWT ten days ago. At that date, the paper was simply \u201cunder dispute\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, over a year and a half after publication, with over 40 citations, the paper is retracted at the behest of the \u201cClimateGate gang.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The retraction by the relatively small and obscure journal&nbsp;<em>The European Physical Journal Plus<\/em>, and its prominent publisher Springer, shows a core problem in study of climate change: the corruption climate science in the pursuit of a political agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting on this instance of apparent cowardice in the face of pressure, Tony Thomas writes in Quadrant-online,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/quadrant.org.au\/opinion\/doomed-planet\/2023\/08\/how-science-is-done-these-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How Science is Done These Days<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s nothing new about mainstream climate scientists conspiring to bury papers that throw doubt on catastrophic global warming. The Climategate leaks showed co-compiler of the HadCRUT global temperature series Dr Phil Jones emailing Michael \u201cHockey Stick\u201d Mann, July 8, 2004:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>I can\u2019t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin [Trenberth, a colleague] and I will keep them out somehow \u2014 even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to a science whistle-blower, there\u2019s now documentation of a current exercise as bad as that captured in the Jones-Mann correspondence. This new and horrid saga \u2013 again involving Dr Mann \u2013 sets out to deplatform and destroy a peer-endorsed published paper by four Italian scientists. Their paper in\u00a0<em>European Physical Journal Plus<\/em>\u00a0is titled A critical assessment of extreme events trends in times of global warming and documents that extreme weather and related disasters are not generally increasing, contrary to the catastrophists feeding misinformation to the Guardian\/ABC axis and other compliant media.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calls for retractions began only after two Australian media outlets\u2019, the&nbsp;<em>Australian<\/em>&nbsp;and Sky News Australia, reports on the study garnered more than 400,000 views and thousands of comments. Leading climate alarm promoters in the form of&nbsp;<em>The Guardian<\/em>, Agence France-Presse, and the Covering Climate Now, a cabal of some&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/coveringclimatenow.org\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">500 media outlets with reach to a 2 billion audience<\/a>, to respond with fury and publicly rake the journal over the coals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Writing on the retraction in his substack article, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/rogerpielkejr.substack.com\/p\/think-of-the-implications-of-publishing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Think of the Implications of Publishing<\/a>,\u201d climate researcher, Roger Pielke Jr, Ph.D. said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be clear, there is absolutely no allegation of research fraud or misconduct here, just simple disagreement. Instead of countering arguments and evidence via the peer reviewed literature, activist scientists teamed up with activist journalists to pressure a publisher \u2013 Springer Nature, perhaps the world\u2019s most important scientific publisher \u2013 to retract a paper. Sadly, the pressure campaign worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The abuse of the peer review process documented here is remarkable and stands as a warning that climate science is as deeply politicized as ever with scientists willing to exert influence on the publication process both out in the open and behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prominent climatologist Judith Curry, Ph.D.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/curryja\/status\/1681010183684882432\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweeted<\/a>&nbsp;concerning the controversial retraction, \u201cReprehensible behavior by journal editors in retracting a widely read climate paper (80,000 downloads) over politically inconvenient conclusions. Journal editors asked me to adjudicate, and my findings were in favor of the author.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is good news though, the lead author of the retracted paper, physicist Gianluca Alimonti, from the National Institute of Nuclear Physics in Milan, Italy, and one of his co-authors, Luigi Marian, an agrometeorologist, have published a new paper \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/17477891.2023.2239807\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Is the number of global natural disasters increasing?<\/a>\u201d in the journal&nbsp;<em>Environmental Hazards<\/em>. Their answer? No, they are not increasing. We will wait and see if this paper is targeted by the Climategate Gang as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The media silence on this ugly episode episode of scientific bullying speaks volumes about their preferences for the kinds of facts, scientific scandals, and truths they choose to report \u2013 and ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div
