"At the recent climate change talks in Montreal, once again the United States and Australia were conspicuous in their status as the only industrial nations to refuse to consider a schedule for mandatory reductions in their discharges of heat-generating gases into the atmosphere...The American diplomats displayed petulance. Chief U.S. negotiator Harlan L. Watson walked out of one session, objecting to the proposed title of a declaration calling for long-term international cooperation on global warming. U.S. negotiators also objected to adding former President Bill Clinton as a speaker. Clinton delivered a critical talk labeling the Bush position on climate change as 'flat wrong.'"
