Subject: Official Information request - UoA: Records mentioning scientist Patrick Frank
From: Chris Johnston <[email address]>
To: legal <[email address]>

Dear University of Auckland,

Please provide any records (including but not limited to internal/external: documents, emails, notes, minutes, text messages, or social media messages) mentioning scientist Patrick Frank.

For context - so that you can correctly identify the individual - some links relevant to his work are mentioned in the links below.
1) This is the peer reviewed paper (published on 6 September 2019) which finds that the statistical techniques used for forecasting global surface air temperature have not used an appropriate error propagation technique - and are therefore unreliable forecasts for the IPCC or governments to be using for policiy decisions.

2) This is Patrick Frank's blog about his paper when it was published - which was rather scathing and impolite.

Yours faithfully,
