NEW YORK - Japan’s new environment minister, Shinjiro Koizumi, pledged on Sunday to mobilize young people to push his coal-dependent country toward a low-carbon future by making the fight against climate change “sexy” and “fun.”

“In politics there are so many issues, sometimes boring. On tackling such a big-scale issue like climate change, it’s got to be fun, it’s got to be cool. It’s got to be sexy too,” Koizumi told a news conference in New York. Considered a rising star on Japan’s political scene, Koizumi, 38, became the third youngest lawmaker to join a post-World War Two Japanese cabinet when Abe announced a reshuffle this month.

He was speaking alongside Christiana Figueres, an architect of the 2015 Paris Agreement to curb global warming, who had invited him to meet various companies and banks aiming to accelerate investment in clean energy projects in Asia. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has told governments they should only turn up to the summit if they came armed with more ambitious plans to cut carbon emissions under the Paris accord, which enters a crucial implementation phase next year.

Matthew__Green ✔︎poem ✖︎speech

Matthew__Green He is a neoliberal who said 'We are going to sell the natural environment' when he assumed as the minister. It's a hot topic that almost Japanese can't understand his words.

Matthew__Green On second thought Japanese women are highly sought after. Sexy is a good idea.

Matthew__Green Gosh I hope I’m doing it right

Matthew__Green Because, god knows, humans are incapable of doing the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing.

Matthew__Green The incapable person has become a minister of Japanese govament.

Matthew__Green Sexy is not required. Our survival as a species demands it. An we owe it to the young to undo the mess WE created

Matthew__Green They been preaching their crap for decades..

Matthew__Green

Matthew__Green how's this for sexy? elected officials need to do more and be better.

彼の父親は総理大臣経験者で、彼は父親から影響を受けすぎています しゃべり方、間の取り方、そっくりです。大衆が好む話題を上手に選択するところも似ています 別の言葉で言えば、彼は自分自身を持っていないのです

Matthew__Green without giving details‼️ Japan will change from today ⁉︎ No possibility to change whith you‼️

Matthew__Green How many more times are you going to tweet this?

Matthew__Green Taking care of the earth for posterity is not “sexy”. It is old fashioned common sense.

Matthew__Green He has his dad's eyes

Matthew__Green He is a politician who is only good at gaining popularity and lacks substance. Japan's mistake was to raise the consumption tax and make him the environment minister. I'm embarrassed so please don't talk.

Matthew__Green Oooh Baby, clean me up!

Matthew__Green 最初に消えるのはこいつかもな

Matthew__Green Sexy? Yeah, it's very sexy to get killed in the Amazonas while fighting against mining. Is the developed world full of idiots, or just those in power?

Matthew__Green fight and sexy? as in sadomazo sexy shsrdhdkdl

Matthew__Green I mean...he’s helping.

Matthew__Green What... he wants naked people running for their lives?

Matthew__Green He’s already doing a great job

Matthew__Green 世界よこれが次世代総理候補だ!泣

Matthew__Green He needs a girlfriend !

Matthew__Green Oh omy god, stop this.... I'm just mortified by being Japanese. Someone has to get rid of this dumba**.

Matthew__Green

Translation: make it subjective and impulse/emotion-driven.

😓

We explore Japan to look for “sexy”.....

In Japan, he is called ’Poem’.

Okay cool… wait, what did he say?

Like this?

Coming from the land that designed the Camry. 🙄

So be naked and save water from washing clothes?

Ok for every mm the sea rises the Japanese women's high heels that are required at work will be shortened

Hurricane and tornadoes doesn’t have that appealing look 👀I Am afraid....

Is it sexy to dump nuclear waste into the worlds oceans.

its exactly he no pants.

If he needs my dickpiks let him call me. I'll do it for da climate.

Says the country that denies Fukushima is killing all ocean life, oozing radioactive material with irreparable damage. Didn’t your corporations rule out any wrongdoing recently? Such haters who only see “sex” as usual. Absolutely God-less!!! They take orders from the “Unicorns”.

セクシーって何やねん?

Let's make it based on reason rather than Marxism.

Sexy now that's interesting

So basically just pixelate images of air pollutants, and we are good

Whatever it takes

Yes, bugger science.

意味不明

Thá actual fuck ?

Climate change isn't 'fun' or 'cool,' it's a reality.

Same ole same ole instead of hysterical fear use sex to persuade concerts to the climate change cult. May the heavens fall if science were used.

“we gotta fuck it. we gotta fuck the sun”

First you’d have to make climate change real though right?

Um, yes please.

Something Else?

Weirdo

Umm... What?

He loves 'I want to do more' 'I'll try my best'. Did you notice?

and make it feasible:

I can't stand that guy's incompetence anymore.😖

'Japan uses little fossil fuel and our economy is already stagnant. What do we care if the rest of you want to hobble yourselves.'

Only fine-sounding words won't solve anything. He needs to provide specific solution.

I thought… His remarks are too embarrassing ‼︎😩🤦🏻‍♀️

Sorry guys, he’s just a crazy jerk. Just ignore.

Like 'it's so hot that I'm too sexy for my shirt?'

He is still only a boy in many ways and is being used for PR to mask actual Japanese policy.

Actually his reputation is not as good as the biased mainstream media thinks.

I get his point. Sustainable lifestyle doesn’t have to be boring or frugal.

He is idot.

He is a puppet and completely incompetent.

Ugh Japanese embarrassment... he has NO policy or detailed plans with scientific evidence. Always gives a vague speech and empty inside. A poet. I hope he studies science more if he wants to keep his position.

High on Saké , I guess..

I wonder what would the whales say about this ?

Idiotic, advanced RIP Japan.🙏

Forget science.

In Japan he is called a strange poet.

like adding octopus to it?

Says the environment minister of a country where couples are procreating like Giant Pandas?

Lol...rice wine and wagyu beef 🙄

Waiting for their anime girl 'Climate-chan'.

この人本当にバカなんです。皆さんごめんなさい。

So let us start with tree-dance like a pole dance.

I struggle to take any environmental advice from Japan when they have continued with whale hunting. Totally barbaric.

This is an excellent idea, infidels. The Japanese are very inventive; perhaps as a result of being so close to the ground.

sexy theres nothing 'sexy' about climate change... Just the opposite

Sexy 😅😅😅😅!!, I am dead!!
