Daniel has just sent me a leaked internal document from the G8 negotiations. I don’t know where he gets these and I’m not going to ask. The original is a MS Word document with track changes revealing edits by the Bush administration. <\/p>\n
I’ve uploaded a .pdf copy of the leaked G8 draft here<\/a>. There’s a Reuters story on it here<\/a>. And here’s some off the cuff commentary from Daniel (one of our political advisors):<\/p>\n On May 24th, German Chancellor Merkel sheepishly admitted<\/a> that the G8 may not agree on how to deal with climate change when they meet in Heiligendamm from June 6th-8th. She had probably been reading the US comments<\/a> on the G8 climate document. Merkel prides herself on getting on
\nwith Bush. But like Bush\u00e2\u0080\u0099s friend Blair<\/a>, she was wrong to hope that Bush would change his oil-trenched mind on climate change. It doesn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t make it better of course, but this is a classic case of told you so<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
