Response to the Climategate Inquiries - Dr. Ross McKitrick
Dr. McKitrick has issued this 41-page response to five inquiries into the Climategate emails. These included the UK House of Commons Science and Technology Committee (reported March 12), the Oxburgh Inquiry (reported April 14), the Muir Russel Inquiry (report July 7), the Penn State Inquiry into Michael Mann (reported January 26) and the Inter-Academy Council to investigate the IPCC (due to report in August.) In summarizing, he notes that the evidence shows that scientists manipulated IPCC reports with the effect of misleading readers, deleted emails to prevent disclosure of information, privately expressed doubts about the science, and took steps to block access to data or methodologies.
