Climate fight must be ‘sexy, fun and cool,’ says young minister for coal-dependent Japan
Market Watch ^ | 9.23.2019 | Rachel Koning Beals

...Shinjiro Koizumi, who is the son of former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, became the third-youngest lawmaker to join a post-World War II Japanese cabinet when current head Shinzo Abe reshuffled key appointments this month. Japanese polls show voters think the young Koizumi could be groomed to replace Abe, Reuters reported.

“We are committed to realizing a decarbonized society, and we are ready to contribute as a more powerful country in the fight against climate change,” Koizumi said, according to the Reuters report.

Japan is the only G-7 country that is adding coal-fired power capacity.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had told leaders they should only turn up to the summit if they came prepared with ambitious plans to cut carbon emissions under the Paris accord, which enters a implementation phase next year.

U.S. President Donald Trump, who pulled the nation out of the Paris treaty in part because he says compliance is not universal, made a brief appearance at Monday’s climate session.

Younger activists are the latest, or at least most-visual, leaders in the climate movement, taking cues from Sweden’s 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, to turn out for what is believed to have been the largest global climate demonstration to date last Friday.

“sexy, fun & cool” is the main reason young libtards support this hoax.

Japan aint gonna power that place of solar and wind. Nuclear is barely hanging on.

Part of the reason 2 of their cities were tuned to radioactive ash in the 40s was because they needed more fuel than they could ever hope to produce, and opted to go to war to keep it coming in.

Shinjiro's dad, Junichiro, was pals with George W (photo in Memphis). Why this article caught my attention - Junichiro isn't a lib but his son is taking up a lib position. Same with George W whose daughters have gone full blown lib.

Antarctic sea ice has grown to record levels for the second year in a row.

That was true a few years ago. That is no longer true. See bottom graph:

In fact Antarctica sea ice flipped and is now among the lowest on record. The long term trend in Antarctica however, is still up.

With the Japanese population shrinking they could change nothing and still show that they've “cleaned up”. They're basically committed to what demography is going to do for them anyway.

Guterres can go be fruitful and multiply, though not in those words.
