Japan: To protect future generations from 1 degree of alleged warming, let's suffer through 10 guaranteed degrees of warming right now

Japanese men warm up to ‘Cool Biz’ drive on dress code
The campaign aims to save energy and, at the same time, reduce global warming by cutting down on the emission of greenhouse gases.
...
Officially, the Cool Biz season runs for four months from June to September, the warmest and most humid months in Tokyo and many parts of Japan.

During this period, government offices and private companies that subscribe to the campaign are expected to keep their thermostats no lower than 28 deg C — hardly a comfortable setting.
WikiAnswers - What is 28c in fahrenheit

It's doublespeak when they talk of "poverty" caused by GW: the real poverty and misery is caused by their "solutions".
People suffering heat because they can no longer afford overtaxed electricity to power their air conditioners, is just one example. Another effect could be people being less productive at work when they have to move around slowly by bus & rail. AGW promoters then see such effects as proof that GW is real and has wide-reaching negative effects.
