The US president, George Bush, made a surprise concession on climate change at the weekend in the run-up to the G8 summit at Gleneagles, writes Ewen MacAskill.
The sherpas - officials who negotiate the detail of communiques in advance - completed two days of discussion at Lancaster House in London, within hearing distance of the Live8 concert in Hyde Park, on Saturday.
Until now, Mr Bush has adopted an intransigent position, insisting there is no scientific basis to conclude that there is such a phenomenon as climate change.
