No,we disagree with being forced to submit to onerous regulations that will have little or no positive effect,but a great negative effect.

Are you the only Japanese guy to deny Climate Change and the need for the Kyoto Protocol? C'mon, we need a few bullet trains here rather than Toyotas. Or maybe you are NOT Japanese.
