The "rigour and honesty" of the scientists at the Climatic Research Unit were found not to be in doubt. However, the panel concluded the scientists were insufficiently open about their work and unhelpful and defensive in response to freedom of information requests. Notable scholars and experts, including John Beddington and Myles Allen, welcomed the findings of the inquiry and stated that the climate scientists had been cleared of the allegations of misconduct, while Patrick Michaels disagreed.
