RE: New Insights on the Physical Nature of the Atmospheric Greenhouse Effect
Deduced from an Empirical Planet Model
Thank you for your emails of 6 June 2017 regarding climate change and the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme
(NZ ETS).
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports are a credible source of advice for policy. The IPCC
reports represent the global expert assessment of knowledge on climate change, which the New Zealand
Government accepts. The value of these scientific reports is not affected by the claims of the article you refer to in
your email.
The Government considers it prudent to implement policies to reduce human caused greenhouse gas emissions,
and to prepare for the impacts of climate change, as shown by our commitment to the Paris Agreement. The NZ ETS
is one of these policies.
Kind regards,
Alex -Advisor, Executive Relations Team
Ministry for the Environment - Manatii Mo Te Taiao
