Go sit in your car or even your home at noon tomorrow, shut off the A/C, and stay inside with the windows closed for even an hour.

Ah, ah, ah. Shutting off the aircon wasn’t what I said. Get your facts right Sonny Jim!

So, what happens is, all the cool air conditioned air goes outside and all the heat from outside comes in. It’s not rocket science.

Yeah, opening the doors in 35 degree heat. That’ll cool everyone down!

Why ‘foreign’ bullet climbers? Has someone been counting the numbers and asking people their nationality or is this just prejudiced reporting?

Lots of xenophobia towards the start of these comments. Putin is the problem, not good people trying to earn an honest living.

What is it with this diplomatic immunity? An American woman driving her car on the wrong side of the road in England killed a guy riding his motorbike and was able to just use the defence and fly back to America. I don’t even think she was a diplomat, her husband was. Similarly with this, it just means these people can do anything they want and get away with it.

In any other country it would be, “Woman walks into bus”. In Japan, we always have to know that it was a ‘foreigner’.

If you have to put the phrase Clinate Emergency in scare quotes as though to suggest it’s not real, you really haven’t read the science.

No tourists = Come back, we ant your money.

Too many tourists = NHK making out that it’s only foreigners responsible for this kind of thing.
