Second CRU Inquiry is Out - Conclusion: "Climate Gate" Conspiracy Nuts are Retarded
The Second CRU inquiry report: “Climate Gate” Conspiracy Theorists are Bug Nuts Crazy and are Hyper-Partisans who Don’t Understand Science
The Oxburgh report on the science done at the CRU has now been published and….. as in the first inquiry, they find no scientific misconduct, no impropriety and no tailoring of the results to a preconceived agenda, though they do suggest more statisticians should have been involved.
They have also some choice words to describe the critics.
Shorter version: No conspiracy, no misleading, no scientific manipulation.

Report of the International Panel set up by the University of East Anglia to examine the research of the Climatic Research Unit.
We saw no evidence of any deliberate scientific malpractice in any of the work of the Climatic Research Unit and had it been there we believe that it is likely that we would have detected it. Rather we found a small group of dedicated if slightly disorganised researchers who were ill-prepared for being the focus of public attention. As with many small research groups their internal procedures were rather informal.
After reading publications and interviewing the senior staff of CRU in depth, we are satisfied that the CRU tree-ring work has been carried out with integrity, and that allegations of deliberate misrepresentation and unjustified selection of data are not valid. In the event CRU scientists were able to give convincing answers to our detailed questions about data choice, data handling and statistical methodology. The Unit freely admits that many data analyses they made in the past are superseded and they would not do things that way today.
We have not exhaustively reviewed the external criticism of the
dendroclimatological work, but it seems that some of these criticisms show a rather selective and uncharitable approach to information made available by CRU. They seem also to reflect a lack of awareness of the ongoing and dynamic nature of chronologies, and of the difficult circumstances under which university research is sometimes conducted
