Brown\u2019s stunning admission that he held back certain data and analysis in order to ensure his climate paper got published by Nature. We\u2019ll also look at the \u201cclimategate gang\u201d and how they have bullied another journal to retract a paper they don\u2019t like, which had already passed peer review. Now, new evidence has emerged of even more bullying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tune in LIVE for Climate Change Roundtable at Noon CT\/1PM ET this Friday to engage in this enlightening discussion.
