‘Why didn’t Grangemouth and Port Talbot get the same treatment as Scunthorpe? One reason was that the owner of the Port Talbot steelworks, the Indian conglomerate Tata, was more co-operative.’

On the eve of publication of our response to DOE’s “critical review”, organized by @andrewdessler.com, a reminder that the report falls way short even on the most basic of metrics.

✅ small fraction recent research cited
✅ 10% from non-peer reviewed sources
✅ 2 most cited authors are self-citations

Graeme MacGilchrist @gmacgilchrist.bsky.social · Aug 14

Me, @codeandcurrents.bsky.social, and ChatGPT had an excellent time vibe-coding our way to an assessment of the citations in the DOE's "critical review" of climate science.

A wee 🧵 of highlights...

1/n

A silly meme questioning the comprehensiveness and independence of the DoE critical review.
