Run by pseudo scientists with no applicable degrees, the Whether Club presenters rely upon fabricated opinion that is not supported by a single peer reviewed scientific publication. Peer reviewed articles are the gold standard in science. If you ask the Whether Club presenters for any peer reviewed article supporting their statements, they will just simply claim that the peer review system is totally political and leave it at that. All they have is their opinions purportedly backed by no science whatsoever!

So, if you attend a WHETHER CLUB meeting, wear galoshes. They are not for the rain but for other fluids that seem to flow in those meetings. Fluids that you don't want your skin touching!

The appeal to peer (or pal) review is dangerous. Einstein faced numerous such challenges, and ignored them all, because politics is based on consensus, while science is based on data. The Weather Club uses data to illustrate why there is no climate crisis. Anyone is welcome to bring proof to the contrary -- but so far no one can -- although many have tried.
