Sorry for the long delay.
By “rigged”, my understanding is they threatened to boycot journals/have their editors fired that published articles critical to climate change.

No, this is not true. The part about threatening to boycott journals (they never actually did it, by the way) was not simply because the journals published “articles critical to climate change.”

It’s because the articles in question were NOT properly reviewed, and were full of the usual deceptive talking points. The CRU scientists were pissed off about this, and I would have been too.
