"The escalating struggle between an influential House Republican and government scientists over their pivotal study of global warming now turns on accusations that they rushed to publish their findings to advance President Obama’s agenda on climate change.
But a spokeswoman for Science, the prestigious peer-reviewed journal that in June published the paper by climate scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said in an interview that their research was subject to a longer, more intensive review than is customary.
'This paper went through as rigorous a review as it could have received,' said Ginger Pinholster, chief of communications for the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which publishes Science. 'Any suggestion that the review was ‘rushed’ is baseless and without merit.'"
