President's Message
In his op-ed “How to Manufacture a Climate Consensus,” (Dec. 18), Patrick Michaels calls into question the integrity of the scientific review process in a scholarly journal published by the American Geophysical Union (AGU). Mr. Michaels's insinuations about AGU's publication and his premise that the peer-review process can be systemically manipulated are not supported by the facts.
