I dunno, I feel that Ima is going to be the more popular of the two so this might backfire Laughing

Oh MoE, what will you think of next...

I thought it was interesting that the unconcerned group in Japan is the younger demographic. It seems to be the opposite here.

Climate change, one of the biggest scams ever. Looks like young Japanese know it. But I guess you can seduce them with moe.

Oh yeah, climate change, such a scam. I mean, it's not like hundreds of scientists have proven it with massive piles of evidence or anything. And it's not like last weekend I went out wearing just a hoodie. In the middle of February. In Canada.

It takes Earth at least 1000 years to do what we have done in 150 years, and there is no sign the staggering upward trend is stopping.

I hope it was a fairly long hoody. But I guess you escaped the cops if it wasn't...

You can get away with anything in Canada if you apologise.

She really is the superior one. Is there a -dere term for slob moe? I think it's quickly becoming my favorite character type.

If Japan's youth don't care about environmental issues unless they have moeblobs chucked at them, then the country is screwed.

Japan already is a pretty clean energy economy. Not as clean as France though which supplies 80% of their energy from nuclear power. Japan had a ton of nuclear reactors but deactivated them after Fukushima and substituted that for fossil fuel.

What they have to do is to put a tax on carbon emissions and end subsidies to fossil fuel industries (the world's governments give 490 billion dollars every year for the fossil fuel industry, just stopping those subsidies would already give an enormous push to decrease carbon emissions, adding a tax of 40 dollars on every ton of fossil fuel sold would also be an additional huge help) instead of stupid campaigns trying to brainwash the youth.

I dunno about that. In this area young people seem to be almost uniformly a bunch of environmental activists. All of the local shops selling super organic, locally grown, fair trade, low energy consuming, etc etc, sh*t are packed to the gills with "millennials" constantly. Maybe it's different elsewhere in NA, but I found that to be similarly the case in Seattle, NYC, and Toronto when I last visited.
You can argue that none of what they do has made a difference, but considering what kind of companies around here are raking in the cash, I'd say at the very least it's encouraging good things.
