It's not unusual for press coverage to get out in front of the peer-review process, and Scott K. Johnson explains how it happened with stories about climate scientist James Hansen's recent sea-level rise forecast: "The manuscript is certainly interesting, covers a lot of ground, and proposes some interesting leads to follow up on. But it’s not a game-changer as some news coverage seemed to imply. And as the formal peer-review plays out, it may change in important ways."
