Days after everyone else has read about it, WUWT decides to write about a paper by a bunch of deniers in New Zealand (archived here).
The paper is another, weaker, attempt by New Zealand climate science disinformers to reject global warming. They not only failed in their similar attempt to get the courts to reject climate science, these scoundrels didn't even have the honesty to pay the court costs they were supposed to pay. They lumbered New Zealand taxpayers with the bill. As the Chief Executive of New Zealand's NIWA is reported to have said of the so-called "charitable trust" set up by the deniers for the purpose:
On the surface it looks like the trust was purely for the purpose of taking action, which is not what one would consider the normal use of a charitable trust.
This paper did get published, so the deniers might regard that as "success". However it won't get any traction in scientific circles, and it won't enhance the reputation of the journal or its editors.
