I wish to check: the minister said he accepted the science of the reports coming out this year. I asked specifically about the reports from New Zealand scientists about the Ross icesheet and the prospect of it melting and delivering a five- to 17-metre sea level rise around the world, with the West Antarctic icecap. I wondered if the minister could say whether he accepts that science.
