Bush addresses the meetingThe recent U.S. State Department-hosted
"Major Economies Meeting on Energy Security and Climate Change" was "a
triumph of US media management," writes BBC News environment analyst
Roger Harrabin. "The opening public statements were made by President
Bush, Dr Rice and Jim Connaughton, the head of White House climate
strategy. The only foreigner to speak publicly was Yvo de Boer who, as
a representative of the UN, remained neutrally uncritical of his
hosts. The two-day meeting then went into closed session. Other
delegates were furious at what they said were false leadership claims
on climate by Mr Bush, but they were not given a platform to address
the media. When they emerged at the end of the conference ... they
found that the co-ordinator, Mr Connaughton, had slipped out to brief
the media half-an-hour before the end of the meeting, and the US TV
networks had gone home." One European delegate "in search of the
vanished American TV crews" complained, "The White House slaughtered
us."
