message: Added some information on Oxburgh from: http://www.iit.edu/business/seminars/2006/oxburgh/.
I think the title should be just Ronald Oxburgh - it's simpler.  Kayau  Voting  IS   evil  05:02, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I notice that the paragraph on the CRU inquiry devotes just one brief sentence to the result but two sentences to a quite detailed account of alleged conflict of interest. These charges (according to the sources cited) come from climate skeptics, and were not taken seriously and had no adverse effect on the outcome of the report or its reception by the mainstream. Indeed one of our sources for the accusations is an article by Christopher Booker, who has pushed the false accusations hard in his own writings.  I think editors of this article should examine the presentation and, if they find it to be unbalanced, fix it. Tasty monster (=TS ) 12:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the paragraph is incomplete; if anyone wants to fill out more details on the report before I get around to it, please do.  Meanwhile, I can use a stopgap measure and put Oxburgh's affiliations in a paragraph about his achievements and positions.  We cannot write climate skeptics out of the picture;  there would be no controversy nor investigation without them.  I gave the Booker article not as a source for criticism, but for membership in GLOBE.  Here is an excellent bio written well before any of this came up:  http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/Graduation/82477.htm
And here is a good article about the report:  http://www.economist.com/science-technology/displaystory.cfm?story_id=15905891  Note the importance it gives to the criticism.
I had intended a sentence testifying to Oxburgh's eminent credentials and knowledge of the situation.  Again, anyone may please continue this "start" article.  Yopienso (talk) 17:33, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

text: I've added quite a bit and done some rearranging.  Re. the CRU report, I left "The report,[11]  released 14 April, 2010, exonerated the CRU scientists of malpractice," as it was, except for providing a footnote to the PFD of the report.  Since the article is about Oxburgh and not the report, I felt it best not to go into its details.  The alleged COI is about the man, so I felt it did belong in the article.  East Anglia's statement should deflect any undue weight from Oxburgh.  All reference to the CRU controversy is contained in 6 lines, which I consider fair in the light of his history and current events.  What do you think?  Yopienso (talk) 07:01, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
