$700 million Wanted to Fight Global Warming Monster

Japan's Economy, Trade and Industry Minister wants $700 million to fight the global warming monster that Newsweek is saying might not even be there…kind of like the boogey man…or the creature outside your bedroom window….or the creep in the closet.

I wish someone would give me $700 million to play with, er, to fight imaginary monsters with.

The Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry wants to

develop a technology to store carbon dioxide under the sea floor.

Yeah, let the fish worry about it. 

If the sea floor is not deep enough to bury CO2 in, then it is shallow enough to cause problems to sea life, no?

PM Abe wants to reduce global greenhouse emissions in Japan by half by 2050.

With the number of people in Japan's population decreasing, that might not be a problem AND the country could save $700 million.

What global warming?
