Global Warming Strikes Toyama Japan!
Photographic proof! We're doomed! Doomed, I tell ya! Global Warming is here to stay! Don't believe me... They say that a photograph speaks a 1000 words. Let these photos tell the story.
According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".
"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said... "Snow is starting to disappear from our lives."
These scary words were written almost ten years ago.... Just before the coldest winter in Britain in 140 years.... Oh, yeah, I forgot: Global Warming makes the earth warmer and cooler too!
PS: Oh, yeah and today, the weather forecast for Tokyo is the coldest winter day so far! The high will be a blistering 7 degrees celsius with a low tonight of - 3!!! And it's only January 7th, 2011!!! Stay warm!

Hey! I know! A snow museum! That would absolutely save the Japanese economy, following the huge boost provided by the manga museum. Plus, it would save all those children from the awful, terrible, unthinkable torture of not knowing what snow is. Let's do it for the children.
Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
