If you’ve been watching, you’ll have noticed that Japanese television is filled with eco-friendly, CO2-cutting, planet-saving propaganda. Commercials are promoting “eco” products, the news is covering the summit and how our leaders (most of which score less than 30% in public opinion polls) are planning measures to curb CO2 emissions, and documentaries are talking about self-sufficient families with makeshift water heaters and their own very natural gas!
What are your views on the global warming “crisis”?
Here are some questions to prompt discussion:
- Is global warming really caused by CO2?
- What do you make of all the eco-talk in the nation’s media?
- Are you making an effort to save the world? If so, how?
- Are there any other issues more attention-worthy?
