  1. The climate change is indicated because temperature sensors are also placed in the middle of large cities. Large cities are of course concrete and glass heat traps. When data from sensors in cities is removed then no climate change is indicated.

    The biggest effect upon climate is the sun and that provides the natural variations over time.

  2. This is embarrassing! Jim Salinger was very publicly and noisily fired by NIWA (the Government’s official climate adviser) for unacceptable behaviour and his unsuccessful appeal then generated news stories for a period of 8 months.

    Rejected by NIWA climate scientists, he is now selected by an ill-informed banker as a great climate science guru.!
