Timeline

1999

He also served as vice-president of the Meteorological Society of New Zealand and was a founding member of the Australia–New Zealand Climate Forum as well as serving on the executive board of the International Society of Biometeorology from 1999 to 2001.

He wrote extensively in popular media on an array of environmental and climate-related issues.

2001

In 2001, he won the New Zealand Association of Scientists' science communicator award, now known as the Cranwell Medal.

2006

In the New Zealand Herald (9 May 2006), he wrote:

As an editor for the journal Climate Research he had responsibility for sending papers out for review.

In four instances, questions were raised about the review process of papers he had handled.

The last of these led to the Soon and Baliunas controversy, in which a flawed paper was published under his editorial responsibility.

The publisher, Otto Kinne, subsequently conceded that the conclusions of the paper were not supported by the evidence, and appropriate revisions of the manuscript should have been requested prior to publication.
