Who is free, who is bound? In a bait ball, which is the oppressed, which the oppressor? Who is the hungry, bound to the food?

C. S. Lewis on Liberty
&#8220;Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive,&#8221; wrote C. S. Lewis, the Oxford/Cambridge scholar best known for [...]]]></description>

Here is further explanation of why the Coalition put together an application for a judicial examination of the national temperature record.

A letter sent to the NZ Herald on 25 August that remains unpublished.
Sir,
In &#8220;Exercise degrees of common sense&#8220;, on Wednesday August 18, Brian Rudman loses his journalistic poise and jeers gracelessly at the &#8220;flat-earth&#8221; members of the NZ Climate Science Coalition.
When he asserts that they deny &#8220;man-made global warming&#8221; he is dead wrong. He is [...]]]></description>

Every brain has two hemispheres, each involved with a different set of functions. The Earth has two Hemispheres, too, Northern and Southern, which also function differently.

We question NIWA not just about the reasons for temperature adjustments, but also their correctness. A good example is found at Hokitika, including one of the largest adjustments: -2.0°C prior to 1912. Why is it so large? The data before 1912 looks unusable &#8212; why did they use it?

Dominoes &#8212; they all fall down.

&#8211; by Barry Brill, Chairman of the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition
In tracking the provenance of the official New Zealand temperature record, all roads lead to an “Appendix C”, which was annexed to a doctoral thesis written long before the heyday of “global warming”. This Appendix has never been published [...]]]></description>
