(Fox News) - The United Nations climate conference in Bali, Indonesia is hosting hundreds of journalists from all over the world. But U.N. officials rejected a credential request by the "Environment and Climate News" — which is published by the conservative Heartland Institute — and distributed to every elected official in the country.

The U.N. will only say that the publication did not meet its criteria for accreditation — after it sought advice from its New York office.

Heartland Institute spokesman Tom Swiss accuses the U.N. of rejecting applications from any media skeptical of man-made global warming dogma. He also tells FOX News that U.N. officials violated their own policy by giving a list of media requesting credentials to groups such as Greenpeace and the Union of Concerned Scientists — so they could send press releases espousing their points of view.
