Editorial
  Many of you reading these words will have been attracted by the discussion paper [McShane and Wyner (2011)], in which case, this may be the first, but hopefully not the last, time you will have read anything in a statistics journal. I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the review process in our journal and to make some comments about the role of statistics and uncertainty assessment in paleoclimatology and the broader debate about climate change.
