Honest!

Washington/Brussels-US officials Friday said their country is already helping developing countries prepare for the drastic effects of global warming and insisted the US has lead the world in mitigating greenhouse emissions blamed for global warming. Sharon Hays, a key science advisor to US President George W Bush, and other administration officials made their remarks after approval by more than 100 countries of an important UN report on climate change in Brussels earlier in the day.

Hays led the US delegation to the meeting.

Update: How very strange....:

In negotiations over the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report released on Friday, the United States and China “managed to eliminate language in one section that called for cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.” The original draft read: “However, adaptation alone is not expected to cope with all the projected effects of climate change, and especially not over the long run as most impacts increase in magnitude. Mitigation measures will therefore also be required.” But the second sentence does not appear in the final version of the IPCC Summary for Policymakers.
