Okada, Clinton affirm Japan-US ties

America and Japan are the biggest countries in the world. For example, Japan is one the biggest technology based country, and America is the biggest economy country in the world. I choose this news because it is a news that the two most influence countries in the world build up good relation to each other.

Foreign Minister of Japan, Katsuya Okada of the United States and Hillary Clinton by phone on Monday agreed to maintain a close relationship under the new cabinet, Tokyo, officials said.
As their first conversation since Okada would post in his cabinet of new Prime Minister Naoto born in early June. "We said that the alliance Minister Okada Japan - US is the foundation of Japanese diplomacy," the Japanese Foreign Ministry said in a statement. "The two Ministers agreed to cooperate closely from now on. Okada according to swear by the cabinet earlier in the move of the U.S. base in Okinawa, while popular for U.S. efforts to reduce "the U.S. military on the southern Japanese island. In late May, Tokyo and Washington that our Marine Corps Air Station Futenma to move under the first agreement in 2006 from urban slum areas in Okinawa Island Henoko coast Okada and Clinton also agreed to cooperate on key diplomatic issues, including the sinking of the warship in North Korea blamed South Korea and the UN Security Council talks on Iran in response to their nuclear program, he said.

Toyota's Japan hybrid sales top one million

Toyota is one of the biggest car producer which many people in the world use. I choose this news because Toyota company can create the hybrid car which can use both gasoline and electricity to drive. This is a good way to reduce environmental problems.

Toyota Motor said Friday that sales of hybrid car in Japan has topped 1,000,000 mark and around the world will sell 2.68 million vehicles by the end of July. Toyota to advance in hybrid cars that use two power sources - gasoline and other sources such as electric motors - open the Prius, the world's first mass produced hybrid car, in 1997. The world's largest automaker rose to the hybrid system for vans - mini, SUVs and rear - wheel drive - sedans. We produced nine Toyota hybrid buses and three hybrid car models sold in Japan and 8 commercial hybrid passenger foreign Hybrids are selling fast in recent years due to high oil prices and increasing public awareness of global warming. Year, Toyota recall 437000 Prius hybrid car, and more to fix defects in braking systems are part of around 10 million worldwide recalls a stellar reputation tarnished earlier this quality. But the Prius has kept the sales in Japan for years by the Association of Japanese car sales.

In my opinion, government should support people to use hybrid car which can use both gasoline and electricity. In addtion, Toyota should decrease the price of hybrid car in order to attract more people because hybrid car is quite expensive.

Japan seeking to export low-carbon technologies

I choose this news because it is a good news that Japan will create and export new technologies to reduce environmental problems. This may be the best way to protect our world from global warming.

Japan will be asked to export low carbon technologies and equipment to nine countries in Asia, mostly in exchange for a "right-to-dirty" credit Sunday press reports said. The Government of Japan has arrived preliminary agreement with Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines and India on the deals and plans to soon begin talks with Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, China and Peru, business daily Nikkei said. It started to provide financial and technical assistance to 15 projects for Japanese companies to export technology to save energy and equipment to these countries the report said. Japanese voice some 1.3 billion tons of greenhouse gases 15 program when you are fully expected to cut five to 10 million tonnes worth of emissions. The deals will be made consistent with the mechanism of compensation "bilateral" and the summits during the Copenhagen climate change in December. This is the first in Japan to take advantage of the global prevention projects Nikkei said. Indonesia will host the four projects with Mitsubishi Corporation, building power plants and geothermal power wholesale J - Power to build power plants with high coal, that date. Japan's largest economy in Asia is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020 from 1990 levels for other major emitters also provide a sharp decrease in the most ambitious goal of any industry.

In my opinion, we should support this project and scientists to create a new technologies that better than now.

Anti-whalers say protest boat sunk by Japanese

I choose this news because I think we should help each other to solve a problem about whale hunting.

Radical environmental protest group says high-tech power boat rammed and sank received by Japanese whalers near Antarctica. Sea Shepherd Conservation Society claims thousands of Ady Gil ship was attacked by a whaling ship loitered near the southern ocean All six crew members were helping a group says, but boat was half cut. Whalers claim ship strikes launched projectiles and the Board are trying to muddle on board Japanese blades. Showdown occurred amid increasing pressure on government to protect Australia called "spy fly" introduced by Japan from Australia Airport to try to foil events.
Commercial whaling has been prohibited by treaty in 1986 but Japan continues to whale cull in the area of research.

In my opinion, we have to legislate new rules to protect whales before they become extinct.

Japan to swap energy technology for CO2 offsets

Nowadays, we use a lot of gasoline to do many things such as transportation, agriculture, or industry which make a lot of carbon dioxide. I choose this news because it is very good news that sciencetist can create a new project that can reduce carbon dioxide to reduce global warming.

Ministry of Industry has started bilateral negotiations with four countries in developing projects that will lead to offsets of greenhouse gas emissions in Japan. Under carbon dioxide reduction by using low carbon technologies has allowed Japan to reduce emissions offsets by Japanese industry. Ministry has been negotiating with Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines and India early this month. Under the Clean Development Mechanism of the decrease in the number of developing countries should check through the UN Kyoto Protocol, Ministry, said, "It takes too much. Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry says 2013 will be released after the new course was cut from the first commitment period of Kyoto Protocol ends in 2012. Programs Department.

Number of credits you decides to bilateral negotiations. Japan, NEC LCD fifth largest in the world are aware of to reduce emissions by 25 percent from 1990 levels by 2020.

In my opinion, goverment should support this project, and every countries should use this technology to reduce environmental problems.
