Criticism
According to an article in The Guardian, Gavin Schmidt (of RealClimate) and Roger A. Pielke, Jr. claim that E&E has had low standards of peer review and little impact.[7] Boehmer-Christiansen acknowledges that the journal's "impact rating has remained too low for many ambitious young researchers to use it", but blames this on "the negative attitudes of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)/Climatic Research Unit people."[8]
Climate change skepticism
When asked about the publication of skeptical papers Boehmer-Christiansen said, "I'm following my political agenda -- a bit, anyway. But isn't that the right of the editor?"[9]
Boehmer-Christiansen explained her "political agenda" in a post to an article at the "Carbon Brief" website criticizing Energy & Environment, "My political agenda for E&E is not party political but relates to academic and intellectual freedom. I am an geographer turned international relations specialist (environment as special field) and as such have long been critical of environmentalist exaggerations. I have observed and recorded 'scare mongering' effects utilised by politics on policy and economic competition since the early 1980s. I now believe that in a subject as new, complex and poorly understood as climate science and climate history over geologic time - which I studied as a physical geographer and geomorphologist in Australia - all voices should be published and debated. However, the opposite happened once the climate research, with help of the IPCC and the WMO became de facto servants of global and EU energy ambitions."[10]
