ARTICLE: CO2 row threatens climate report, By Roger Harrabin, BBC News, 2 May 2007

An old story: the latest to the party resent being told by the first that they can't drink as much. No, they can't be allowed to indulge as much as their predecessors.

You want that differential? You better be prepared to pay for it, as Summers points out.

This story also points out how China's being equated now with more and more of globalization's bad and not just its good.

Thanks to Pete Johnson for sending this.
