NIWA is a joke. They do collect some data but their political bias is communist totalitarian with hysteria over "pollution" where there is none.

They look for the greatest concentration of stalled vehicles on a still day, claim there is a crisis in pollution and extrapolate that panic to the hinterlands of country down near Antarctica surrounded by oceans with less air pollution than you'd find nearly anywhere. Scott Base might have less pollution.

The corner of Customs Street and Queen Street is one of their panic places. So is Kyhber Pass where they have their lair. Their building is at the intersection of Khyber Pass and Mountain Road, below the biggest motorway flow which is often stalled thanks to the absurd road management people who like traffic jams to force people onto buses where they catch respiratory diseases which kill them and waste their lives in communal misery.

They make laughable claims about the number of people dying from diesel particulates and other vehicle air pollution.

If they waste their opm on lawyers, it's at least more entertaining than wasting money on panic about COX, NOX and SOX. A POX on them. If it leaves less money for them then it will mean fewer trips to climate jamborees in exotic places like Cancun, producing lots of CO2 and hot air in the process

What? Me worry?
