Genuinely SHOCKED
Via Eurekalert, several major science publishers have written an open letter
SUPPORTING
a proposal by the Trump Administration.
I had to read it carefully to be sure it wasn't a typo or a parody. In fact they are
SUPPORTING
the Trump Admin.
Even more shocking is the proposal itself. The admin wants to insure that all federally funded research is openly available.
In theory this is already required, since tax-funded products are supposedly public domain. In reality it rarely happens. Most fed funded research is published behind paywalls, or effectively classified.
Most shocking of all is the consequence if this rule is fully applied to ONE PARTICULAR TYPE of fed funded research. Until now, all the fake "data" used by "climate emergency" "researchers" like Michael Mann has been firmly classified. Real scientists have tried repeatedly to get Mann and his monstrous cohorts to conform to the normal rule of public domain. Mann has the right name and the right connections. He doesn't use laws.
Will PLOS and the other publishers still go along with this proposal if it forces Mann to obey the law? Remains to be seen.
