Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on Monday committed to cutting greenhouse gases to zero on a net basis by 2050 and achieving a carbon-neutral society, a major shift in its position on climate change.

Tokyo had previously said it would achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible in the second half of the century, rather than set an explicit target, and its swing brings it into line with the European Union, which set a carbon neutrality target of 2050 last year.

“We need to change our thinking to the view that taking assertive measures against climate change will lead to changes in industrial structure and the economy that will bring about great growth.” To achieve its goals, Suga said that new solar cells and carbon recycling would be key, and Japan would intensify research and development in those areas, along with digitalising Japanese society - a policy he has pushed since taking over from Shinzo Abe.

In the meantime they will be releasing millions of gallons of radioactive water from Fukushima back into the sea...

Damn, only 40 years too late. Looks like we're gonna die

全て、机上の空論であり、現実的ではない。 現政権を信用すると、怪我の元と成る。

How about the nuclear waste water ???Which one is important? 0 carbon or nuclear pollution ALL OVER THE WORLD!

Benioff Zero emissions means, moving towards advanced technologies for renewable energy! Fossil fuel finite and its supply will end some day. Why do so many in the US want to be left behind, while the rest of the world marches right on to win the new century?

AllenWest’s head is going to explode

Music to my ears. A cacophony for the Trump crowd! BidenHarrisToSaveAmerica

Any claim to “zero pollution” among the cast of “clean energy” gimmicks is literally ecologically impossible, for such a concept is ruled out by the Laws of Thermodynamics themselves.

Benioff Pretty sure this 'PM Suga' dude is just some rapper from Kamakura.

Planning to beat the Chinese by 10 years? Good luck.
