Note: The authors of this study refused to let it be peer-reviewed, chosing instead to first release it to the media. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Actually, this looks like a very fair study. It was funded in part by the Koch brothers foundation. They have made all their data and computer programs available for download, so anyone can do a "peer" review.

Peer review has little validity if the reviewers are incestuous with the author - and this is the norm in science. Transparency and full disclosure is much better than peer review. Hopefully this will become the norm in the computer age.
