Many of your readers are probably already aware of the following.
Professor Sir Peter Gluckman is the Prime Minister's scientific advisor. This includes the subject of climate change.
Sir Peter qualifications for this position are that he is a professor of paediatrics and prenatal biology and has many years experience in health and diseases.
I am not questioning Sir Peter's knowledge and experience in these fields in any way, but climate change!
That is no different really from making a highly qualified mechanical engineer adviser on the country's health system.
No wonder New Zealand is in such a mess overall.
