So far there have been two studies of the East Anglia Climate Center. The Center was exonerated in both studies. Today's report found that there was no untoward manipulation of data.
The University of East Anglia welcomed Wednesday's report. "The veracity of CRU's research remains intact after this examination," it said. "It is gratifying to us that the Oxburgh Report points out that CRU has done a public service of great value by carrying out meticulous work on temperature records when it was unfashionable and attracted little scientific interest," it said. It also welcomed the report's its criticisms, especially its recommendations that scientists engage more fully with the wider statistics community.

The report said the panel had seen "no evidence of any deliberate scientific malpractice in any of the work of the Climatic Research Unit.…Rather we found a small group of dedicated if slightly disorganized researchers who were ill-prepared for being the focus of public attention."
Apologies for slandering reputations? Not forthcoming yet. But there is still one more study to be completed. Odds are that too will not result in withdrawal of any of the various charges leveled against the Center.
