Former US president Bill Clinton (L) and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin (R) address a press conference during the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Friday in Montreal. In a show-stealing appearance rumoured to have irked the US delegation, Clinton defended the UN's Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gases that was ditched by his successor, George W. Bush, and said the switch to cleaner energy would create millions of jobs for the American economy. PHOTO: AFP
