wrong assumption, I'm from New Zealand and am aware of most of the reputable (mainstream scientific) research orgs here. The original article made a big deal about those who are supporting a call to action to give legitimacy to the concern. While I have no problem with further research, I was interested in seeing research from credible researchers that have some link to a credible research organization that I'm aware of. None of the New Zealand people meet that criteria (though they may still have done legit research).
