IPCC Report - US Meddling?
This article claims that some US government officials are trying to "steer" the report of the Intergovenmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) -- and not in a good way. These same black-suited "officials" of the State Department were said to have called the report "Kyoto-centric."
"The US has also attempted to steer the UN report, prepared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), away from conclusions that would support a new worldwide climate treaty based on binding targets to reduce emissions - as sought by Tony Blair. It has demanded a draft of the report be changed to emphasise the benefits of voluntary agreements and to include criticisms of the Kyoto Protocol, the existing treaty which the US administration opposes."
