Thanks. Watch this space and you’ll be the first to know what happens. NIWA have 28 days from service of the documents to respond. They respond to us, not to the judge, then we start to negotiate or ask for a hearing date. Depends what they say. I guess they will dispute everything we say, but we must wait and see.

The documents were served on Tuesday, August 10, in Auckland. So NIWA must respond by Tuesday, September 7.

UPDATE 31 AUGUST: Apparently I’m wrong; they have until Tuesday 14 September.

Quite so, Mike. I’ll pass it on, thanks.

Oops, I mean, it’s too late now! The documents have been served.

Pedantic grammatical correction:

“the data was lost and the Adjustments could be neither documented or replicated”

should be “the data was lost and the Adjustments could be neither documented nor replicated”

It is patently obvious that Mr Renowden has not read the recent report of the Royal Commission on the Victorian bushfires or he would not parrot the risible assertions made by his ilk in other nations, notably a fellow from the lamentable UK Met Service and one from the Jones Campus in East Anglia.

As for the number of recognised scientists and the quality of their work, Mr Renowden, loses heavily on both counts. But if he is talking about those New Zealanders sucking on the public tit (bureaucrats and a few similarly funded academics) he may may be getting close in respect only of numbers.

Now let us return to the excellent High Court Statement of Claim lodged by the NZCSC Trust. Mr Renowden may wish to ponder the UK High Court judgment restraining their Ministry of Education from attempting to indoctrinate UK school children with Gore’s rubbish in texts distributed to schools.

To sum up, it is common for Mr Renowden and his IPCC mentors, just like NIWA, to make claims that are unsupported by verfiable data. So, Mr Renowden, to quote a delightful line from the recent Oxford Union debate (in which your UK followers were soundly thrashed):
“And your references are? Where are your references?”
