18892 (2009). Hon Rodney Hide to the Minister for Climate Change Issues (02 Dec 2009): Has he read the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition paper of 25 November 2009 "Are we feeling warmer yet" tabled in Parliament on 26 November 2009; if so, what are his conclusions; if not, why not?
Hon Dr Nick Smith (Minister for Climate Change Issues) replied: Yes. I have consulted with NIWA who have outlined their previous discussions on this issue. I have also organised a briefing for all MP’s with NIWA’s chief climate scientist David Wratt so that Members of Parliament may be well informed on the science.
