Partial Transcript of Muir Russell Inquiry Press Conference

Here is a partial transcript of the Inquiry press conference, including the Boulton bits.

The Inquiry Secretariat

The Muir Russell Inquiry is conspicuously silent on the staffing of their inquiry – in my own experience, the person who actually does the work often has as much, if not more, influence on the results than the suits who sit on the committee. Who is the secretary of the Muir Russell Inquiry? One looks […]

Boulton and Glaciergate

In a Jan 29, 2008 speech, Boulton now -check reported that by 2050 “most of the Himalayan glaciers would be gone”: The impacts are there already.

The work plan is described here, saying that they plan to operate “openly and transparently”.

Slimed by Bagpuss the Cat Reporter
