Climate paper peer review scandal?

A scientific scandal is casting a shadow over a number of recent peer-reviewed climate papers. At least eight papers purporting to reconstruct the historical temperature record times may need to be revisited, with significant implications for contemporary climate studies, the basis of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) assessments. A number of these involve senior climatologists at the British climate research centre CRU at the University East Anglia. In every case, peer review failed to pick up the errors, says the Register.

We were aware of that, however there are no peer reviewed studies or other acceptable publications available yet.

Ah, I see it on the ClimateAudit now.
