No,we disagree with being forced to submit to onerous regulations that will
have little or no positive effect,but a great negative effect.
Maybe JSB should move to Bangladesh and try living under the conditions he
would impose on all of us. Let him reduce HIS lifestyle first.

People have no problem reducing emissions when it's actually necessary and
effective.

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.

Ha, ha, ha, idiotic cars for the masses is NOT the way to go.

No other country forces bad drivers into the road, and no other
manufacturer obliges like Toyota...

within metropolitan areas and between the large cities. Japanese
public transportation is characterized by its punctuality, its superb
service, and the large crowds of people using it."
