Bush 'flat wrong' on global warming, says Clinton

Delegates from around the world worked into the final hours of a UN climate conference to produce a plan for deeper cuts after 2012 in greenhouse-gas emissions, buoyed by a last-minute message of support from former US President Bill Clinton.

Clinton, in an applause-filled appearance at the Montreal meeting yesterday, said US President George W. Bush was ”flat wrong” to claim that reducing greenhouse-gas emissions to fight global warming would damage the US economy.
