| An activist dressed as Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda holds balloons symbolizing their countries' carbon emissions at an anti-G8 event in Sapporo, July 8, 2008, during the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit. The Group of Eight leaders are set on Tuesday to take an "important step" forward on fighting global warming, the stickiest issue at their summit, a European Union source said. Senior G8 officials met late into the night in Japan to thrash out wording that would allow Bush to put aside deep misgivings and sign on to a long-term global goal, the EU source said, asking not to be named.
