Clinton's Trip to U.N. Climate Change Conference Annoys Bush Administration

Bill Clinton Heats Up UN Climate Conference

Montreal (CNSNews.com) - Former President Bill Clinton is expected to address the U.N. Climate Change Conference on Friday, the final day, after the Sierra Club reportedly raised the money to pay for Clinton's trip.

Clinton's visit is intended to help draw more media attention to the U.N. meeting and to pressure the U.S. delegation to make more concessions on climate issues, according to the Canadian Press.

Bush administration officials reportedly were "annoyed" that Clinton chose to come on the last day of the conference to try to influence the negotiations, according to the Associated Press.
