The Coalition has asked the High Court to quash NIWA's official NZ temperature record, but this case cannot be heard until next year. Meantime, policies based on NIWA's advice continue to cause great harm to New Zealand businesses and households. The Coalition has therefore invited NIWA's board of directors to institute an immediate review of the accuracy of recent amendments published by its Climate Group. The Coalition's request is prompted by its own peer-reviewed audit which shows virtually no warming over the period cited by NIWA.
