To Party Leaders

The Royal Society of New Zealand refuse to give evidence that global warming is man-made.

They reject the scientific principle of reasoning from observation. They weaken the very heart of the global battle against climate change. The Prime Minister must learn that “our generation’s proud nuclear-free moment” risks being reduced to empty words.

The country's future demands an urgent inquiry.

The RSNZ claim the evidence is overwhelming but in not revealing it, they virtually confess that future warming won't be dangerous and thus make a mockery of our efforts to prevent it.

Our premier scientific institute send activist scientists on junkets around the country telling us our greenhouse gas emissions are the main cause of dangerous global warming and we must reduce emissions, but refuse to our face to tell us why.

Breathtaking duplicity

This appalling turn of events was sparked last November when the NZ Climate Science Coalition asked the RSNZ to substantiate recent statements that global warming is man-made and dangerous.

To their everlasting shame, the Royal Society gave us a carefully-considered denial. They sent links that contained no evidence. We told them, "that's not evidence." They stopped talking to us.

Deceived the Prime Minister?

They give no evidence of a human hand in harmful global warming, yet state publicly that evidence exists, and it’s “overwhelming.” They say we are responsible for dangerous climate change. But they will not say why.

They raise the outrageous possibility that our leading climate scientists fraudulently persuaded the Prime Minister there’s a national crisis. So, if evidence does exist, why conceal it?

In two important reports on global warming policy, the Royal Society make claims about the climate that are wrong. Those claims are utterly refuted in the full story you can read here.

We demand a public inquiry.
