After nuclear war: Impacts upon New Zealand Agriculture and Wildlife — A reply

Abstract

Extract

Madam:— The recent letter on this subject ⁶ requires comment upon several aspects. These include the pinpointing of the inclusion of this subject in the Wildlife Society Seminar as anti-nuclear agitation, utilising an invalid computer model, inclusion of a subject which is non-scientific, giving consideration to conditions which may be purely hypothetical, and introducing left wing party politics into the N.Z.V.A. The correspondent suggests that we should rely upon the resilience with which New Zealand has successfully overcome previous disasters and that only topics with large volumes of scientific information should be discussed.
