Part of problem is the long time for the process (almost 8 months) which means that the nonsense is mostly forgotten about by the time the comments are published. We&#8217;ve discussed trying to speed up and improve the process by having a specialized <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclimate.org\/index.php\/archives\/2017\/02\/someone-c-a-r-e-s\/\">journal for comments and replications<\/a> but really the problem here is the low quality of peer review and editorial supervision that allows these pre-rebunked papers to appear in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>GPC is not the only (nor the worst) culprit for this kind of nonsense &#8211; indeed we just noticed a bunch of astrology papers in the <a href=\"http:\/\/iieta.org\/Journals\/IJHT\/ARCHIVE\/Vol%2035%2C%20Special%20Issue%201%2C%202017\">International Journal of Heat and Technology<\/a> (by Nicola Scatetta [natch]).
