…”Today, Prof Carter argued that the study of climate change had been “captured” by the small group of well-connected, well-networked and well-funded atmospheric scientists and computer modellers who advise the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
He claimed that the course of climate history and change on Earth should be the domain of geologists, “not meteorologists and computer jockeys”.

COMMENTS: If you require the last year or the next then that would be meteorologists.
If you require the last 500 or 2,000 years then that would be geologists. Why, the data found in rocks and the like is more of a truth and historic time line of the plant events than meteorologists computer models. ( Just ask Wall Street about there Sub Prime computer models, how well did that do in 2008?)
Therefore NIWA using 100 year data from ships placing a bucket over the side to read the top 12 inches of the ocean temperature, would seam to me be very weak science to send $100,000,000 NZD p.a to a UN body…
Once again climate warming/change ‘junk’ science tag sticks.
