...much to ask the G-7, which normally reserves its energy for pointless but massively expensive annual summits in deluxe resorts like Heiligendamm, Germany, or Sea Island, Georgia, to take dramatic steps to address the financial crisis that is sweeping the world. But we should at least expect that the seven most powerful national economies would not make things worse at a moment of global need. Or should...
...long wish list when she lands in Crawford, Texas, on Friday, for a two-day summit with Bush. The President embarrassed his German counterpart in her own backyard last June when he refused to sign up for her plan to reduce global warming at the G-8 summit in Heiligendamm. Signs of a U.S. effort to make nice could come with some new concession on the environment or on the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and broader issues of human rights in the war on terrorism - another issue of long-standing disagreement between Bush and Merkel...

And the G-8 leaders agreed on a putative program for addressing climate change...
When the leaders of the G-8 countries descend on the Baltic seaside resort of Heiligendamm in eastern Germany on June 6-8 for their annual summit, they will be visiting a part of the world where eight of nine countries are growing faster than the E.U. average; where several, including Latvia, which last year expanded 11.9%, are topping the European table; and where trade is expected to soar 50% by 2020. The port at Hamburg, just west of Heiligendamm, has seen a 40% increase in cargo shipped through the Baltic Sea in each of the past three years...
