Peer Review: The Worst Way to Judge Research, Except for All the Others - The New York Times

A 1982 paper describes a study in which two researchers selected 12 articles already accepted by highly regarded journals, swapped the real names and academic affiliations for false ones, and resubmitted the identical material to the same journals that had already accepted them in the previous 18 to 32 months. Only 8 percent of editors or reviewers noticed the duplication, and three papers were detected and pulled. Of the nine papers that continued through the review process, eight were turned down, with 89 percent of reviewers recommending rejection.

Startling new research* finds large buildup of heat in the oceans, suggesting a faster rate of global warming - The Washington Post

In the scientific realm, the new findings help resolve long-running doubts about the rate of the warming of the oceans before 2007, when reliable measurements from devices called “Argo floats” were put to use worldwide. Before that, differing types of temperature records — and an overall lack of them — contributed to murkiness about how quickly the oceans were heating up.
The higher-than-expected amount of heat in the oceans means more heat is being retained within Earth’s climate system each year, rather than escaping into space. In essence, more heat in the oceans signals that global warming is more advanced than scientists thought.
“We thought that we got away with not a lot of warming in both the ocean and the atmosphere for the amount of CO2 that we emitted,” said Resplandy, who published the work with experts from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and several other institutions in the United States, China, France and Germany. “But we were wrong. The planet warmed more than we thought. It was hidden from us just because we didn’t sample it right. But it was there. It was in the ocean already.”

Scientists acknowledge key errors in study of how fast the oceans are warming

Scientists behind a major study that claimed the Earth’s oceans are warming faster than previously thought now say their work contained inadvertent errors that made their conclusions seem more certain than they actually are.

Le réchauffement rapide des océans se confirme néanmoins :
Guest post: Observations and models agree that the oceans are warming faster

OHC [Ocean Heat Content] records published in recent years show, on average, about 40% – with a range of 15% to 100% – more warming than the OHC records featured in [the 2013 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report] AR5.

Initiative très intéressante, j’aime vraiment beaucoup l’idée et ce principe d’ouverture, j’en connais qui devraient les imiter :)
