Climate Models Under the Microscope

What if the models driving climate policy are built on flawed assumptions? This article – A Climate Reality Check : Rethinking Carbon Dioxide and Net Zero – highlights emerging evidence that key inputs—like how much CO₂ plants actually absorb—may have been significantly underestimated, calling into question the reliability of long-standing climate projections.

When models rely on uncertain data, they can produce exaggerated or extreme scenarios that shape public policy and fuel unnecessary alarm. The result? Decisions with real-world consequences, based on projections that may not reflect reality – sound familiar?

It’s a timely reminder that climate science is still evolving—and that policy should be grounded in measured evidence, not worst-case modelling.

“MANAGED OUT” DOCUMENTARY – Featuring Kapiti CALM and the Kapiti Coast

In this RCR InFocus full documentary, director Alistair Harding explores New Zealand at a pivotal moment in its response to climate change. The concept of managed retreat, which involves relocating communities from “high-risk” areas, is sparking fierce national debate. While the government and councils such as those in Kāpiti and Westport point to rising sea levels and extreme weather as justification for action, critics argue that the science underpinning these decisions is based on implausible climate models and worst-case projections. Residents from affected regions, including Matatā, West Coast, and the Kāpiti Coast, voice deep mistrust, citing flawed flood management, a lack of genuine community engagement, and growing fears around property devaluation and the withdrawal of insurance. The proposed Climate Adaptation Act, which would allow for compulsory land acquisition and the withdrawal of essential services, has further heightened concerns over the erosion of property rights with many viewing it as a top-down, politically-driven land grab built on unproven disaster scenarios.
