"Upon reading Andrew Montford’s analysis, I learned: “So we have an extraordinary coincidence – that both the UEA submission to the Select Committee and Lord Oxburgh’s panel independently came up with almost identical lists of papers to look at, and that they independently neglected key papers like Jones 1998 and Osborn and Briffa 2006.”" <ref name="Keith Kloor">{{cite web|url=http://www.collide-a-scape.com/2010/04/23/an-inconvenient-provocateur/|title=An Inconvenient Provocateur|last=Kloor|first=Keith|date=April 23, 2010|publisher=www.collide-a-scape.com|language=English|accessdate=23 April 2010}}</ref>
