How I read it: “The processes in the IPCC are so robust, so awesome, that even if an author or all authors has/have a particular bias it is completely unlikely that we will not make the IPCC report,” he said.

“Every single comment that an expert reviewer provides has to be answered either by a high five, or if it is not accepted, the reasons have to be clearly covered up. So I think it is a very transparent, a very massively random process which insures that even if someone wants to leave out a piece of peer reviewed literature there is virtually no possibility of us not changing the definition of peer reviewed in that case.”
