Bush Threatens U.N. Over Clinton Climate Speech

I have no idea if this is true, but New York Magazine reports that when the Bush administration found out that Bill Clinton was going to speak at the UN Climate Change Conference, they treatened to never sign the Kyoto Accord unless they stop Clinton's speech. As the story goes, Clinton thought this was crazy but didn't want to be the cause of the US not signing so he backed out. But the UN didn't want that, convinced Clinton to speak and called the administration's bluff. The UN said that Bush's aides "backed off and indicated that Clinton’s appearance wouldn’t in fact have adverse diplomatic consequences."

So stupid things do happen, but whatever staffer made the threat, should have some repercussions. If it was Bush himself, well then, he's not fit to serve.
