JAPAN POISED AS GREEN LEADER
Clipped to the Drawing Board by George Tan  
TOKYO -- Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda's announcement that Japan will cut carbon emissions by 60-80 per cent by 2050 sets a serious tone for the upcoming G-8 Summit at Lake Toya, Japan.

Even if real action remains stymied in the lame duck days of the Bush Administration, Japan's leadership sends a signal to the world that the rich industrialized countries -- whose emissions accumulated the "stock" of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that are causing global warming -- accept their responsibility. This is the precondition required for developing countries like China and India -- responsible for massive new "flows" of industrial exhaust-- to join any common global program beyond the Kyoto Protocol to stem climate change.
