Flip-flop on climate change

For those who asked for them here are the conflicting quotes from John on climate change.

Climate Change – May 2005

“This is a complete and utter hoax, if I may say so. The impact of the Kyoto Protocol, even if one believes in global warming and – I am somewhat suspicious of it – is that we will see billions and billions of dollars poured into fixing something that we are not even sure is a problem.” – Hansard, 10 May 2005

“I firmly believe in Climate change I always have.” – Radio New Zealand, Nine to Noon, 28 Nov 2006
