Clinton to speak at global warming summit
A contentious UN climate conference will enter its final day today with the long-term future undecided in the fight against global warming, and with a surprise visitor on tap to rally the “pro-Kyoto” forces.
Bill Clinton, who as US president championed the Kyoto Protocol clamping controls on “greenhouse gases”, was scheduled to speak at the conference this afternoon – in an unofficial capacity but potentially at a critical point in backroom talks involving the US delegation.
