Beginnings
The New Zealand Climate Science Coalition is a group of scientists, mainly from New Zealand, whose stated aim is to “represent accurately, and without prejudice, facts regarding climate change; to provide considered opinion on matters related to both natural and human-caused climate effects; and to comment on the economic and socio-political consequences of climate change”.
The Coalition was formed in April 2006 by the group because of their shared concern “at the misleading information being disseminated about climate change and so-called anthropogenic (man-made) global warming”. They hold the position that “climate science is not settled, that the world is not on the brink of a man-made global warming catastrophe”.
The New Zealand Climate Science Coalition provides links to a range of material and commentary with significance to the scientific and public debate over climate change issues via its website.

—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
