A survey begins
When we published our paper Are we feeling warmer yet? last November, criticising the Seven-station Series (SS), NIWA quickly produced what they call the &#8220;Eleven-station Series&#8221; (ES) to counter it. They went to the trouble of asking Dr Jim Salinger, recently dismissed and author of the original national temperature series, to help them [...]]]></description>

The Holy Bible, once widely considered the word of God. A new scripture has arisen in the name of &#8220;The Environment&#8221; claiming it has the right to avoid change. Though Nature has constantly changed the environment and always will, the new scripture hectors us to spend a lot of time and money to ensure that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

The book Hot Topic is as mistaken in its theme as in its angst-ridden depiction of a melting New Zealand. It&#8217;s author defends NIWA, no matter what, yet NIWA&#8217;s own graph demonstrates no New Zealand warming since about 1950. Why doesn&#8217;t he believe what they&#8217;re telling us? His book is entirely superfluous.

I see now that [...]]]></description>

The two versions of the official NZ temperature data &#8212; the NIWA graph in the foreground has been &#8220;adjusted&#8221; but NIWA doesn&#8217;t know how; the graph behind it shows raw NIWA temperatures since 1850; there&#8217;s no warming. Both graphs use official NIWA data, but NIWA don&#8217;t know what changes created the warming and, until they [...]]]></description>

The Wellington offices of NIWA. Yes, the anonymous building in front dominates the image. No, I don&#8217;t know whether it belongs to NIWA.

NIWA blundered in not keeping track of some important records that justify the country&#8217;s warming since the 19th Century, even if it inherited the problem from its predecessor in the Met Service, or [...]]]></description>
