NZ CLIMATE SCIENCE COALITION

lambest deltoid

==

Update: A special message to visitors from Drudge: you are being lied to. Global warming is happening and we’re causing it, but to avoid dealing with the problem folks are shooting the messenger, attacking the scientists who discovered and reported on the problem. The New Zealand Climate Science Coalition isn’t made up of climate scientists, but is just a group of global warming skeptics who gave themselves a fancy title. And they just got caught combining temperature data from different places to get rid of the inconvenient warming trend in New Zealand. If you want to know what the science really says, please read the <a href="http://www.copenhagendiagnosis.org/" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">Copenhagen Diagnosis</a>.

The latest story <a href="http://www.memeorandum.com/091125/p104#a091125p104" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">exciting the denialosphere</a> is being <a href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/11/25/uh-oh-raw-data-in-new-zealand-tells-a-different-story-than-the-official-one/" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration: none; background: transparent;">put about by Anthony Watts</a> and is based on a “news alert” from the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition. (Note: New Zealand Climate Science Coalition contains no actual climate scientists.)

The scandal breaks as fears grow worldwide that corruption of climate science is not confined to just Britain’s CRU climate research centre. …

Now that might be simple incompetence, but they also claim that NIWA won’t explain how they adjust the data for site changes, and as Renowden says:

Nothing in the station histories? It’s all there for anyone who can be bothered to look, or to ask politely. But Treadgold and the NZ CSC have no excuse, because the NZ CSC were told about this information at least two years ago, the last time they tried to make a fuss about “adjusted data”. In other words, Treadgold and whoever in the NZ CSC helped him with the data are being more than economical with the truth, they are lying through their teeth.

Both issues are essential: that the global average temperature has not increased in the last 17 years means that hypothesis that increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere increases global average temperatures is incorrect or the climate sensitivity to CO2 is grossly over-estimated.

The New Zealand Climate Science Coalition is a group of scientists, mainly from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand" title="New Zealand" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">New Zealand</a>, whose stated aim is to "represent accurately, and without prejudice, facts regarding <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change" title="Climate change" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">climate change</a>; to provide considered opinion on matters related to both <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attribution_of_climate_change" title="Attribution of climate change" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">natural and human-caused climate effects</a>; and to comment on the economic and socio-political consequences of climate change".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-nzcsc-2" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[2]</a>

The Coalition was formed in April 2006 by the group because of their shared concern "at the misleading information being disseminated about climate change and so-called anthropogenic (man-made) global warming".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-nzcsc-2" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[2]</a> They hold the position that "climate science is not settled, that the world is not on the brink of a man-made global warming catastrophe".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-3" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[3]</a>

The New Zealand Climate Science Coalition provides links to a range of material and commentary with significance to the scientific and public debate over climate change issues via its website.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-nzcsc-2" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[2]</a>

In July 2006, the Coalition called on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_government" title="New Zealand government" class="mw-redirect" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration: none;">New Zealand government</a> to institute a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Commission" title="Royal Commission" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration: none;">Royal Commission</a> on climate change because the public were "being given incomplete, inaccurate and biased information about the effects of increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere" when "global warming caused by man-made emissions of greenhouse gases ... cannot be substantiated".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-6" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[6]</a> The Government refused on the grounds that the majority of climate scientists in the world agree that there is no longer any doubt that climate is changing due to human activity.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-7" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[7]</a>

In April 2007, the Coalition described the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPCC_Fourth_Assessment_Report" title="IPCC Fourth Assessment Report" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">IPCC Fourth Assessment Report</a> as "dangerous unscientific nonsense" and "lacking in scientific rigour".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-8" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[8]</a>

In March 2008, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Listener" title="New Zealand Listener" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">New Zealand Listener</a> reported that Owen McShane and Bryan Leyland and the Coalition were lobbying business journalists to cover their questioning of climate change science in order to create an illusion of greater disagreement over the science than actually exists.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-9" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[9]</a>

In July 2008, the Coalition issued a press release that stated that the premise that "the globe is warming" was "a lie". The release also described the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Society_of_New_Zealand" title="Royal Society of New Zealand" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Royal Society of New Zealand</a>'s statement on climate change as "an orchestrated litany of lies".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-10" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[10]</a>

In August 2010, the Coalition commenced legal action against the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Institute_of_Water_and_Atmospheric_Research" title="National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research</a>, asking the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Court_of_New_Zealand" title="High Court of New Zealand" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">High Court</a> to invalidate its official temperature record, to prevent it using the temperature record when advising Government and to require the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research to produce a "full and accurate" temperature record.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-11" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[11]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-12" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[12]</a> In 2012, the High Court declined all claims and ruled that the Coalition pay NIWA's costs.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-13" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[13]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-14" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[14]</a> In response to the ruling, the Coalition liquidated the trust fund it administered to handle the court case, in an attempt to avoid financial liability.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-15" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[15]</a>

The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartland_Institute" title="Heartland Institute" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Heartland Institute</a>, a conservative/libertarian political think tank that rejects mainstream scientific information about man-made climate change, has funded New Zealand’s most prominent <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_denial" title="Climate change denial" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">anti-climate-science</a> groups. In 2007, Heartland granted US$25,000 (NZ$32,000) to the NZ Climate Science Coalition. They also gifted the International Climate Science Coalition US$45,000 (NZ$59,000).<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_Climate_Science_Coalition#cite_note-16" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[16]</a>

That is, using smoke and mirrors to confuse the real science. I can understand why they would grab a big name from history to give their case some respect, but it seems a silly thing to do and it’s a ridiculous choice of person. Charles was all about verifiable evidence and, on climate change, the verifiable evidence is pretty clear. If you adopt any of Charles Darwin’s thinking systems then you would have come to the conclusion long ago that climate change is occurring and that we have to take it very seriously.” <a href="https://www.desmog.com/independent-committee-geoethics/#s3" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; text-decoration-line: none; box-shadow: none;">[3]</a></blockquote><h2 id="h-stance-on-climate-change" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; line-height: 1.2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Stance on Climate Change</h2><blockquote class="wp-block-quote" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; position: relative; margin-top: 10px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">“The inconvenient truth of the matter is that CO2 is not causing our Earth to get hot, it is not causing glaciers and ice caps to melt, and there is not a radical rise in sea level.”[…]”Climate change is the normal state of things which drives weather.  And what makes the weather? Why, our Sun, of course! When the Sun is in a warm phase the Earth is warmer; when the Sun moves into a cooler phase the Earth is cooler or even very cold. The Ice Ages happen during solar cool phases. We are currently living in an inter-glacial period. This sequence of events has been going on for millions of years and humans have managed to adapt nicely. Today, humans live on every part of the Earth except Antarctica.The Earth has been warmer in historic times and a whole lot colder too. The glaciers melting in the mountains are relics of the last Ice Age; it is perfectly okay for them to melt. Their melting is not going to cause sea level to rise up and drown New York City, London, the entire state of Florida, the Maldives, or the Greek Islands!Since 1998, world-wide temperatures have remained static, no statistically significant rise. But you already know this. Sea levels have risen in the order of millimeters, not the threatened catastrophic rises predicted by the fear mongers. You already know this too. If lower Manhattan or the Fiji Islands were being regularly submerged, it really would be news! The media would be running film on this 24/7. Have you seen anything even close to this?Seriously, weather prediction is good for the short term; they usually get it right for about a week. If forecasters can’t accurately predict what the weather is going to do in two weeks do you really believe anyone can accurately predict what will happen on the Earth in 10, 20, 30, years or more? Common sense tells you that the answer is a resounding NO!So relax, stop worrying about the weather, you can’t change it anyway. Go exhale some carbon dioxide on your house plants, and plan a nice ocean getaway because you can be sure the beach will be there when you arrive.”<a href="https://www.desmog.com/independent-committee-geoethics/#s4" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; text-decoration-line: none; box-shadow: none;"> [4]</a></blockquote><h2 id="h-funding" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; line-height: 1.2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Funding</h2>The Independent Committee on Geoethics does not appear to publicly release its funding sources.
