The journal Energy and Environment is a social science journal published by Multi-Science. The journal's editor is Sonja Boehmer-Christiansen, a reader in geography at the University of Hull in England and skeptic regarding global warming. The journal's Editorial Board also includes two other prominent global warming skeptics, Benny Peiser and Bjorn Lomberg.[1]
Energy and Environment is not carried in the ISI listing of peer-reviewed journals. Its peer review process has been criticised for allowing the publication of substandard papers [2][3]. Numerous climate skeptics and contrarians have published in the journal and these studies have later been quoted by Republican critics of global warming science such as Senator James Inhofe and Congressman Joe Barton[4].
People who have published in this journal include Sallie Baliunas, Patrick Michaels, Ross McKitrick, Stephen McIntyre, Ian Castles, Roger Pielke Jr. (who has said that had we known then how that outlet would evolve beyond 1999 we certainly wouldn't have published there [5]), Willie Soon, Madhav Khandekar and Indur Goklany. |
