INTRODUCTION I first became interested in the possible consequences of the enhanced greenhouse effect when I was teaching English in the Teachers’ University in Kunming in 1991.

When I returned to New Zealand, the drafts of the first IPCC Report were being circulated and I was asked to make comments. Over time I became an independent “expert reviewer”. Since then I have provided comments on both drafts of all four major scientific Reports (1990, 1995, 2001, and, now, 2007) plus the subsidiary reports of 1992 and 1994, amounting to many hundreds of pages.

Climate data on the supposed warming were largely confined to the end of the Report, presumably to conceal the lack of confirmation of the models. They still claimed that the “size of this warming” was “broadly consistent” with the models. Possibly after my
