18890 (2009). Hon Rodney Hide to the Minister for Climate Change Issues (02 Dec 2009): Does he stand by his statement to the House on 26 November 2009 that "What Dr Wratt has consistently said is that because New Zealand is surrounded by oceans, all the modelling indicates that the temperature impacts of climate change are most likely to be less for New Zealand than for other parts of the globe"; if not, why not; and in what forums did Dr Wratt make his claim?
Hon Dr Nick Smith (Minister for Climate Change Issues) replied: Yes.
