China and U.S. Replay 'You First' Climate Skit - NYTimes.com
I’ll be going to Cancun for the next round of talks in December, but mainly to help train journalists from developing countries in ways to write about climate change — not on the expectation of reporting on any grand diplomatic developments.
Broadcasting - News - Ofcom clears government climate change ad - Digital Spy
Ofcom has cleared a government climate change advert, despite acknowledging that it came close to the "limits of acceptability" for public service campaigns.

The 'bedtime stories' campaign, launched last year by the Department for Energy and Climate Change, featured a father reading his young daughter a story using an illustrated children's book that showed images of floods, droughts and other climate problems.

The media regulator received 537 complaints about the "political" nature of the ad, with some describing it as "government propaganda" and "cynical political manipulation".
