Suitable choice
The inquiry being run by Sir Muir Russell is about whether climate researchers at the University of East Anglia followed the correct scientific protocols in their work. Prof Boulton, therefore, seems an excellent choice to be part of this inquiry, since he knows about both climate science and how university departments run.
Your report originates from calls by a member of the climate-denying Global Warming Policy Foundation for Prof Boulton to step down because he is a climate scientist who is convinced that climate change is very real. Sadly for the deniers, there are no credible climate scientists who do not believe that climate change is real.
