This follows an admission by NIWA that it no longer holds the records that would support its in-house manipulation of official temperature readings. <\/p>\n<p>In December, NZCSC issued a formal request for the schedule of adjustments under the Official Information Act 1982, specifically seeking copies of \u201cthe original worksheets and\/or computer records used for the calculations\u201d. On 29 January, NIWA responded that they no longer held any internal records, and merely referred to the scientific literature. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only inference that can be drawn from this is that NIWA has casually altered its temperature series from time to time, without ever taking the trouble to maintain a continuous record. The result is that the official temperature record has been adjusted on unknown dates for unknown reasons, so that its probative value is little above that of guesswork. In such a case, the only appropriate action would be reversion to the raw data record, perhaps accompanied by a statement of any known issues,\u201d said Terry Dunleavy, secretary of NZCSC.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSource: scoop.co.nz<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/climaterealists.com\/index.php?id=5033\">Read in full with comments \u00bb<\/a>  &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/3drK5n75cDJBUaGI7og4fGx4_vU\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/3drK5n75cDJBUaGI7og4fGx4_vU\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/3drK5n75cDJBUaGI7og4fGx4_vU\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/3drK5n75cDJBUaGI7og4fGx4_vU\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/ClimaterealistsNewsBlog\/~4\/pOrR3xTpT18\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article Tags: NZ Climate Scandal, Press Release Press Release: New Zealand Climate Science Coalition The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) has been urged by the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition (NZCSC) to abandon all of its in-house adjustments to temperature records.
