E-mailed comments from top climate scientist Kevin Trenberth on today’s Muir Russell report, which mostly exonerated climate experts from allegations of scientific malfeasance:
1) A lot of the review is predictable and not unexpected.
2) Don't you think it strange that the review did not seek any comments from me as [IPCC convening lead author] with Jones and they failed to look at any material on my web site? At the time of submission I was on travel and not able to comply with their deadlines. To me it suggests they did not do a very thorough job, not that I disagree with their findings.
3) However their review was very one‑sided and it was into charges against Jones and CRU. In reality the ones who had malfeasance were many of the critics who brought those changes and who mis‑used and abused the emails and who should have been reprimanded.
