Ethiopian land dirt cheap to giants	15.1.2010	The Guardian -- Front Page
Addis Ababa sells vast fertile swaths to international companies in effort to introduce large-scale commercial agriculture This is a country of the bent back and the silver sickle, where virtually all the crops have felt the calloused fingers of the peasant farmer working his tiny parcel of state-owned land. The ox pulls the plough and the donkey the cart, and fertiliser counts as agricultural technology. Chugging into this picture on a bright green John Deere tractor came Hanumantha Rao, a former sugarcane farmer from India who is at the forefront of a revolution sweeping through Ethiopian farming. He hurried up to a hilltop on his company's farm in Bako, four hours' drive from the capital, Addis Ababa, and swept out an arm to indicate ...

General Electric: world's largest company still has spark	15.1.2010	The Guardian -- World Latest
General Electric is emerging stronger from the recession, says its chief, Jeff Immelt. It is now investing in green technology – and sees a future in markets such as India and China Jeff Immelt has entered the building, and his London branch office in Mayfair is in a bit of flap. The chief executive of the world's largest company passes through only a couple of times a year on a tour of General Electric's European outposts. He has already done Paris, Lyon, Rotterdam, Hamburg and Copenhagen and is on his way to Abu Dhabi, so persuading the 6ft 4in former college footballer to stand still for a picture presents a challenge. When he is not pressing the flesh with 323,000 employees or behind his desk in Connecticut, Immelt is more used to ...

UN should be sidelined in future climate talks, says Obama official	14.1.2010	Guardian: Science
America sees a diminished role for the United Nations in trying to stop global warming after the "chaotic" Copenhagen climate change summit, an Obama administration official said today. Jonathan Pershing, who helped lead talks at Copenhagen, instead sketched out a future path for negotiations dominated by the world's largest polluters such as China, the US, India, Brazil and South Africa, who signed up to a deal in the final hours of the summit. That would represent a realignment of the way the international community has dealt with climate change over the last two decades. "It is impossible to imagine a global agreement in place that doesn't essentially have a global buy-in. There aren't other institutions beside the UN that have that," ...

Obama primed for Copenhagen collapse	14.1.2010	The Guardian -- Front Page
US state department officials were so convinced that the Copenhagen climate change summit was heading for collapse that they crafted a "talks fail" speech for Barack Obama. Jonathan Pershing, the deputy climate change envoy for the state department, said today the atmosphere ahead of Obama's arrival was so toxic that US officials gave up all hope of agreement. "I was working with my delegation to draft what we could tell the president he might say when things fell apart," Pershing told a seminar at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies. "When he arrived on Friday morning, that's where we were." The near-miss, and the shambolic process that led to it, appears to have convinced the US that the best way forward is a negotiation ...
