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 scientists Dr Ronan Connolly and/or Michael Connolly and/or Christopher Monckton.

For context - so that you can correctly identify the individuals - some links relevant to their work are mentioned in the links below.
1) This is the presentation of their findings that Earth's atmosphere is in thermo-dynamic equilibrium (directly opposite to a key IPCC assumption), and therefore CO2 cannot have any significant effect on the temperature of Earth's atmosphere.

2) This is the Connolly's blog site where they publish their results:

3) This is where their empirical discovery is talked about by Christopher Monckton as a potential Nobel Prize winning paper (once published).

Dear University of Auckland,

This is to note that UoA 's communication regarding this OIA on the fyi.org.nz portal has only been recorded against the following OIA (as a way of treating all OIAs as one):

https://fyi.org.nz/request/11358-uoa-rec...

These OIAs are for different lines of research and individuals.... and should not be combined without consultation and agreement. There may be economies of scale to get the same person to research and answer all OIAs but the content should be included in each OIA as appropriate.

This assists the requester (myself) but there is also consideration to be given to the fyi.org.nz portal and those members of the public that use it to understand what occurred, any information obtained, and this may prevent in future repeated questions being asked.

At this stage the UoA has responded that the information "cannot be made available
without substantial collation or research" so the following is my response to UoA:

Please confirm that my response has been received and that the requested information will be provided.

The UoA get to nominate a reasonable date, but given that the UoA should have already undertaken quantitative searches to objectively determine that this OIA would be too much work I anticipate that your answers would not require a long turnaround.

Yours faithfully,

Chris Johnston
