  Japan doesn't want to upset the US. The countries who don't make them or use cluster bombs, other than Japan, wouldn't wish them on their worst enemy, so they want a ban. I think Lockheed is the largest manufacturer, though I'm not positive about that.

  Well, the JAL seating area is too small for anyone with long legs, unless you get a bulkhead seat, but JAL service is much better than other airlines I've flown. The meal sounds better than some offerings, too. Still, until the seats get a place for my knees, I just…

  The point about CO2 following temperature is erroneous, and is disputed here: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/04/the-lag-between-temp-and-co2/

  OK, back on topic. I don't believe the G-8 climate chiefs will agree to a real target. For the U.S. there are too many doubters, like weedkilla, among the politicians to show any leadership (a non-binding target isn't a target), among the developing nations, like China and India, a target…

  "Apparently in 2048 all the fish will be gone too according to latest studies."

  While I do believe the reports about global climate change are well-researched studies with reasonable conclusions, and I do not believe the 31000 scientists who signed a petition but did no research include many people who…

  The tone makes all the difference. Generally, it's not meant to be offensive, even though some people take offense at the idea of being an "outsider." Gaikokujin is generally better received, and gaijinsama is just plain funny.
