From Greenwire (subs. req’d):
The United Nations’ top official invited President Bush today to attend the General Assembly’s debate this fall on global warming.
Calling climate change a “very important issue for all humankind,” U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon invited Bush to the daylong debate Sept. 24.
“Your participation will be very much appreciated, and I’m looking forward to welcoming you to New York,” Ki-moon said during a meeting with Bush in the Oval Office, according to a transcript released by the White House.
Bush did not say if he would accept the invitation, and a White House spokeswoman did not respond to inquiries by press time.
Dept. of No Point in it Happening (buried at the end of the article):
Bush plans to host his own forum in the late fall on global warming, though the exact date and location are still to be determined.
Baghdad, anyone?
