A climate change scientist has stated that academic journals reject papers that don’t support “certain narratives” about the issue.
Patrick T Brown, a doctor of earth and climate sciences, said editors at academic journals choose what papers to publish, tending to focus on dangers rather than providing solutions.
Brown admitted that he deliberately omitted a key fact in his piece on climate change so that it would get published in Nature, an academic journal.
The paper, which is about wildfires in California, focused solely on how climate change causes wildfires, and paid no attention to other key factors.
