From what I understand, Japan thinks the climate is getting warmer due to human action, and serious steps need to be taken to deal with it.
I have a question for the global climate change skeptics out there.
Are there any major countries in the world besides the US and maybe Russia where the central government agrees with you on what is happening and what to do about it? (If there are give us some links)

- seanmcdirmid 9y agoDoes the USA have a central government with a central policy? Obama believed in climate change even if Trump doesn't, most of congress, even on the right, believe in some amount of climate change (e.g. McCain). I'm really at a loss to find that unified anti climate change sentiment in the states. It's more like a democracy where politicians and electorates are allowed to have different opinions.
- woodandsteel 9y agoBy central government, I meant for the US the federal government, and in particular the present administration. My question still stands.
- jessaustin 9y agoWhen I google "china coal power", a confusing set of links appears. Some are certain that coal power plant construction in China has halted or will halt in future, others are not. I suspect reality doesn't match the marketing exactly.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoYour post is misplaced but... China is definitely building new coal plants, just not in every district. Beijing has a ban, for example, but not surrounding Hebei.
- richardknop 9y agoThere is a difference between "central government agrees with you" and whether they are actually doing something about it. Most world governments give lip service to climate change but don't do much trying to stop it.
