This kind of story is national headline news in Japan. In the USA, UK or Europe, this kind of story wouldn't even make the small columns, because even they are filled with worse atrocities than this.

what???

btw, Japan is absolutely FULL of engineers, more than doctors. Get the younger generation involved because the older one is too busy wrecking the planet.

If USA and China met before the meeting as a gesture to the world that they are serious, then the Copenhagen meetup might work. Without prior serious effort, people will just go on suffering for the Boomers' way of life. If Boomers gave a damn this would change. They don't,…
