Dear Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences Limited,

Please provide any records (including but not limited to internal/external: documents, emails, notes, minutes, text messages, or social media messages) mentioning scientists Dr Ned Nikolov and/or Dr Kari Zeller and/or Dr Roy Spencer as mentioned in the links below.

For context - so that you can correctly identify the individuals - some links relevant to their work are mentioned in the links below.
1) 2017 Peer Reviewed and Published Paper Describing How Earth's Long Term Average Temperature can be estimated from NASA data on other planets without referencing the composition of Earth's atmosphere. That is, the finding is that CO2 does not have an impact on the long term average temperature of Earth.

2) Blog reply by Ned Nikolov in response to a critique by Dr Roy Spencer

Dear Communications,

Please note that there is a spelling error in the original request.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Communications,

Thanks for your response. Communication and the free exchange of facts and information is a key element in a democracy - so I thank you for responding to the fullest extent possible, and hopefully reviewing the linked information.

I hope that drawing these scientists to your attention via this OIA might assist GNS to make an assessment on:
A) Whether the "science is settled" and
B) The benefit to New Zealand's prosperity that might come from validating some of the core assumptions underlying the climate models that are causing (potentially un-needed) concern.
C) How GNS can best contribute with its scientific expertise and resources to validating, invalidating or complementing/extending the work of these scientists.... for the benefit of New Zealand.

ACTION: To correct -

I note that a response to the OIA for Patrick Frank has been attached to this response. Can you please organise to respond to the Patrick Frank OIA directly.

The link for the Patrick frank OIA is: https://fyi.org.nz/request/11336-gns-rec...

Yours sincerely,

Chris Johnston
