NASA and HadleyCRUT figures for New Zealand are used to decide whether the South Pacific region, which is a large slice of the globe, has been warming. The results are used in IPCC reports and drive UN and other international policies. NIWA figures are used to justify NZ government policies at central, regional and local levels. But they are all different! Somebody must have it wrong. Perhaps more pertinent – why do NIWA NASA and HadleyCRUT all disagree about the historical temperatures of New Zealand regions?
