The climate change wake-up call Developing countries shifted their stance in a year that started after failure in Copenhagen and ended with optimism at CancúnThe year 2010 started inauspiciously with the spectacular failure of the climate talks in Copenhagen in December 2009. The recriminations continued well into 2010 and the failure was compounded by the mid-term elections in the US, where the victory of the more conservative Republicans who were against any action on climate change meant the loss of any domestic legislation from Washington. With the global recession adding to economic problems, for most of 2010 the tide of policy and public opinion in much of the rich world was against taking any actions on climate change.In much of the developing world, however, the picture was quite different. For many of the heads of state who had attended a climate change summit for the first time in Copenhagen, it was a wake-up call to the importance of the problem, which most of them had hitherto not fully appreciated. Thus, with greater public awareness of the climate change issue, together with increasing climatic events, such as the devastating floods in Pakistan, the issue has taken on an importance it did not have before Copenhagen. Many countries in the developing world have been implementing significant initiatives.Countries like China, India, Brazil and South Afrca have been taking strong actions on renewable energy, while the Maldives has committed itself to becoming carbon neutral in 10 years and Bangladesh has committed $200m from its national budget to implement its national climate change strategy and action plan.Thus the main impetus for action on climate change has shifted from global policy making through the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to actions at national and local 途上国は、コペンハーゲンでの障害発生後に開始し、CancúnTheの2010年に楽観的で終わった2009年12月コペンハーゲンでの気候変動交渉の壮大な失敗とinauspiciously開始年に立場をシフトされます
Barack Obama appoints William Daley as chief of staff Recruitment of William Daley, a JP Morgan Chase executive for seven years, lends White House a more business-friendly faceBarack Obama has begun an overhaul of his inner circle, lending the White House a more business-friendly face with the appointment of an outsider banker, William Daley, as his chief of staff.Daley continues the heavy Chicago bent of Obama's White House. He is a son of the legendary Chicago mayor Richard Daley and brother of the city's outgoing mayor, also named Richard. But he marks a departure for the president after two years in office by dint of his considerable Wall Street experience.The new chief of staff has for the past seven years been a senior executive at JP Morgan Chase, and before that worked for a hedge fund and in telecoms. He straddles the business-politics divide, having been Bill Clinton's commerce secretary for three years from 1997 and managed Al Gore's failed run for the presidency in 2000.Daley's appointment was seen as a signal of Obama's intention to change political tack after receiving a drubbing in the midterm elections in November. The president now faces a resurgent Republican party which on Wednesday took control of the House of Representatives.Daly, who brings with him an outsider's perspective and minimal ideological baggage, may help Obama to bridge the party divide more successfully than he has to date.Speculation about Daley's appointment was rife since he made a quiet visit to the White House yesterday. Several news outlets reported that the job had been offered and accepted.The chief of staff position is the highest profile in a number of posts to be filled as Obama works his way through a post-midterm round of musical chairs.

Failed banks in the US: mapping the crisis Banks are failing all over the US - it's the equivalent of $2,000 for every man, woman and child in the country in bad debt. See where they are and download the data• Download the dataFailed banks in the US have become such a regular event that many have stopped noticing them. But the effects live on.Last week, regulators shut down six banks in Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Kansas - making 138 US failed banks this year alone in the wake of the US sub-prime and housing crisis. So far.And the economy is a big issue in the US midterm elections 2010 - with high unemployment and a recovery that hasn't materialised for many Americans.The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures banks for at least $250,000 per customer. It is the body which took over the banks last week - the largest of which was Hillcrest Bank, based in Kansas, with $1.6bn in assets. Also closed last week were First Bank of Jacksonville in Jacksonville, Florida, with $81m in assets; Progress Bank of Florida, based in Tampa, with $110.7m in assets; First National Bank of Barnesville in Georgia, with $131.4m in assets; Gordon Bank in Georgia, with $29.4m in assets; and First Suburban National Bank in Maywood, Illinois, with $148.7m in assets.What are assets? In the topsy-turvy world of banking assets are money that people owe the bank, such as a mortgage. The total for those that have failed since 2008 is $630bn - that's over $2,000 for every man, woman and child in the US.The FDIC keeps records on failed banks back to 1935 - and we thought it would be interesting to see how those that have failed in this recession - since 2008 - mapped out across the US. Where are the worst affected places?In terms of numbers, the worst-affected place was Georgia - with 46 failed banks since 2008.

Focus podcast: US shifts to the right in midterm elections After midterm elections that saw the Democrats lose control of the House of Representatives, how much damage has been done to Barack Obama's presidency? Jonathan Freedland is joined in London by fellow Guardian columnist Martin Kettle and Observer business editor (and former Wall Street correspondent) Andrew Clark, and in Washington by US environment correspondent Suzanne Goldenberg to assess the landscape as the political momentum shifts behind the Tea Party movement.What went wrong for Obama? And how could a Republican majority in the House be actually helpful to a battered, bloodied president?Ed Pilkington reports from Kentucky, where Rand Paul claimed the Tea Party's first Senate seat. We ask to what extent the Tea Party split the Republican vote, and whether the right can unite behind a presidential candidate in 2012.We also ask how Obama can usefully govern in what remains of his first term, and what strategy he might adopt in the lead-up to the next presidential election.Jonathan FreedlandAndrew ClarkMartin KettleSuzanne GoldenbergEd PilkingtonPeter SaleIain Chambers

Obama needs a Tea Party of his own to deliver change | Seumas Milne The beleaguered US president may be the head of an imperial system. But he can still wind down the war on terrorThere's not the slightest mystery about the sweeping Republican advance in Tuesday's US midterm elections. It's the direct outcome of an epoch-changing crisis and a failed economic model. Six million Americans have fallen below the poverty line in less than three years, official unemployment is close to one in 10, two and a half million people have had their homes repossessed, living standards are dropping and an anaemic economic recovery already risks going into reverse.Most Americans may not blame Barack Obama for the crash. But they know his spending programme hasn't turned those numbers round, while millions have been drawn to the racialised populism of the ultra-conservative Tea Party movement. In the political space left vacant by Obama and the Democratic mainstream, a big business-funded campaign has channelled rage against Bush's bank bailout and the featherbedding of corporate America into blind opposition to government action and the president's stimulus package.In reality the stimulus has saved up to 3.3m jobs, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, even though it represented only a small fraction of the collapse of private demand. It would have needed to be much larger – and combined with far tougher intervention in the banks – to overcome the impact of the credit collapse.But if that was impossible with a Democrat-controlled Congress, it's out of the question now. Some of Tuesday night's results offer crumbs of comfort that America's latest hard right insurgency could yet consume itself.

The Federal Reserve's latest quantitative easing may lead to disaster QE2 may create the very conditions for a bubble and a new collapse that the Fed dreadsIt's November 2012 and Barack Obama is living out the last few weeks of his one-term presidency. History is being made for a second time: the first black commander in chief replaced by the first female holder of that exalted office after Sarah Palin's victory.After his defeat, Obama is asked when it all went wrong. Looking back, he says, the key moment was 3 November 2010, the day after mid-term elections went badly for the Democrats, when the Federal Reserve took the decision to pump an extra $600bn (£370bn) into the US economy by creating new electronic money.The Fed was warned at the time that what it was doing was high-risk stuff and took no notice when the former Ronald Reagan staffer David Stockman said it was injecting high-grade monetary heroin into the financial system. Instead of accelerating the US economy's recovery, the Fed created the bubble to end all bubbles. And when the bubble burst in late 2011, the game was up for Obama.This, of course, is conjecture. Obama's poll ratings remain reasonable despite the economy, and Democrats are confident moderate voters will be put off by the stridency of the Tea Party when they vote in the 2012 race for the White House.And maybe Ben Bernanke has got his analysis right. Perhaps monthly injections of $75bn into the US economy are just what is needed to boost the money supply, to get credit flowing and to persuade companies to channel their cash mountains into investment. Bernanke's worry is that growth and inflation are too low. Interest rates can go no lower, another stimulus package is a no-no given the Republican capture of the House of Representatives, so the only option is more quantitative easing (QE).Actually, that's not the c QE2は、バブルとFRBのdreadsItさんは2012年11月、バラクオバマ彼の1長期的な大統領の最後の数週間を生きていることが、新しい崩壊のための非常に条件を作成することができます
US midterms leave Democrats bruised and battered – but not beaten Midterm elections are a wake-up call for President Obama, and it's not too late to win back the disenchanted middle groundWhen you are braced for catastrophe, survival feels surprisingly good. Today as the dust settles from America's November 2 midterm elections, it is clear that the Democrats have taken a historic walloping — losing control of the House of Representatives after four years in a turnaround greater even than the landslide of 1994.But the Democrats and the two-party system have survived the tea party revolt of 2010 in rather more recognisable shape than some of the more apocalyptic and superficial commentary might have led some to expect.That's not to pretend that 2010 has been anything other than terrible for the Democrats and re-energising for the Republicans. The first and biggest thing that happened this week is that the Republicans have won a decisive majority in the House. That gives them a lock — not total control — on the federal legislature, which they are likely to use aggressively on issues like tax cuts, social programmes and the federal budget.The precise chemistry of the tea party infusion into the Republican ranks remains to be seen over time — are they just angry or do they have a plan? — but the House Republican caucus of 2010 seems set to be a much more conservative force, even than their 1990s predecessors who impeached Bill Clinton.They will use all the weapons of Capitol Hill to make life just as difficult for Barack Obama as they did for Clinton. Expect inquiries, subpoenas, probes and all the relentless assault tactics on the administration that suggest that culture wars are alive and well in America. Ten years ago, that played in the Democrats' favour.There were straws of comfort for the Democrats amid the flood of bad news.

Sarah Palin won't run for president | Paul Harris Why bother with the dreary business of getting elected, when the real power lies with being the Republicans' top political celebrity?It is usually folly to make political predictions. But as midterm election fever kicks into high gear in the US, it may be necessary to correct an opinion that is rapidly becoming conventional wisdom: that Sarah Palin will run for the White House in 2012.Because I don't think she will. The mainstream media and legions of political pundits are making a simple mistake. When it comes to Palin and her growing political power, the debate always seems to focus on whether she can win or not. Is she too extreme? Can she attract a broader base of support than her fanatical base? Could the rising Tea Party tide carry her to the White House?No one is asking a more fundamental question: does she actually want to run?I mean, really run for president, rather than just coyly playing a waiting game with a fascinated media that hangs on her every word. I see little evidence that she does. Amid all the gossip and dirt of the hit book Game Change about the 2008 election, a picture emerges of a Palin who clearly hated the high pressure of the campaign trail. She hated the long days, the constant scrutiny over every tiny detail, and the constraints of a vast and controlling campaign staff. She disliked the constant demands of the press, even though her rare media appearances were so carefully orchestrated. She had good reason, too. After all, Palin failed to cope with even soft ball questions like Katie Couric's query over what newspapers she read. But Palin is no fool. She knows that any 2012 presidential candidate running in the early-voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire has to endure month after gruelling month of press scrutiny.

nsylvania Republican promises tax break for natural gas industry | Suzanne Goldenberg Tom Corbett, the frontrunner in the Pennsylvania governor's race, says he will block moves to impose drilling tax on gas companiesPennsylvania is sitting on a natural gas bonanza that could power America for a decade, but is the state about to pass up a chance to cash in?It looks that way. Tom Corbett, a Republican who is well ahead in the race for governor, says he will undo a Democratic initiative to impose a drilling tax on natural gas industry. That would be a boon for an industry that is on the verge of a boom in Pennsylvania - and which has faced criticism for a drilling technique in which water is pumped at high pressure into the rock to flush out the natural gas.Pennsylvania is one of the most fiercely contested battlegrounds in the mid-term elections. The ground rules for tapping into all that natural gas could well be decided in these elections. This could, in theory, be the moment to impose far more rigorous regulations than in mining or offshore oil drilling. Corbett, who buckled under pressure from Tea Party activists earlier this year and issued a no-new-taxes pledge, updated his website last week to oppose a tax on drilling. His campaign is running television and radio ads touting his opposition to the drilling tax.The ads have outraged environmental and citizen's groups who say Corbett would effectively let industry help itself for free to the natural gas. They also point out that it would deny the state a cushion against claims from farmers and other landowners whose water has been contaminated by drilling.Corbett's Democratic opponent, Dan Onorato, has said he would use the proceeds of a drilling tax for environmental protections.There are also concerns Corbett would roll back environment and safety regulations, and allow industry more latitude to po トムCorbettは、ペンシルベニア州の知事のレースでトップランナー、彼は10年にも電力を供給できそう、アメリカが、現金化するチャンスを渡すために約状態である天然ガスの大当たりの上に座っているガスcompaniesPennsylvaniaの掘。税を課す動きをブロックするというか？それはそのように見えます
