I'm unable to watch the accompanying video, and I've become quite cynical about the veracity of things that do the rounds on the internet, but I'm sticking my fingers in my ears, yelling "Na, na, na, na, I can't hear you", and believing this story of the faithful Japanese dog is real: http://www.metro.co.uk/news/858361-video-japanese-dog-leads-rescuers-to-injured-companion

Even if the New Zealand temperature record showed no change, or a decrease in average temperature, that wouldn't make any difference to the reality of Global Climate Change. Beating up on NIWA isn't going to stop a glacier melting in Greenland.
