This is a nice piece of news:

MONTREAL (AP) — In a surprise visit, former President Clinton will speak
at the annual U.N. climate conference Friday, final day of a contentious
two-week meeting, the United Nations confirmed.

Bush administration envoys here were said to be displeased at Thursday’s
news of the unusual appearance – of an ex-president at a critical point in
backroom negotiations involving the U.S. delegation.

“They haven’t protested formally, but they’re annoyed,” a source in the
Canadian government, the conference host, said of the U.S. delegates.
“They’re not infuriated, but they’re not thrilled.”

The source spoke on condition of anonymity, because as a civil servant –
not a politician – he is barred from being in the public light during
Canada’s current election season.

The U.S. delegation was meeting Thursday evening and had no immediate
public comment, said spokeswoman Susan Povenmire.

I guess the administration does not like Clinton being there because he will
speak the truth about the problems facing this world when it comes to the
environment. I wonder if they will try some way to block him from speaking
tomorrow.
