“This is not how science is supposed to work. This is not the sort of process where scientists write the report that gets vetted and peer-reviewed and cited, and then eventually there is a government process, an interagency working group, and then that gets scrutinized, and there’s a formal peer review process,” said Gernot Wagner, a climate economist at Columbia University, calling the report “shoddy.” Wagner was a paid peer reviewer for a report published by the Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency.
