A Proof and The Proof
As Japan is so hot now, even a banana tree bears fruit around Tokyo.
Though most of people in the world think that Tokyo is full of banana trees, it is impossible for banana trees to grow and bear fruit around Tokyo. Cool autumn and cold winter prevent growth of banana trees in Japan except in subtropical Okinawa.
But, this year it is reported that a banana tree bears fruit around Tokyo, since its owner brought the tree from Okinawa to implant it at his home around Tokyo.
Except the Okinawa islands, banana trees are in general not observed in Japan, since they never bear fruit due to climate. But, this year is exceptional.
Even tropical fish that can be only alive in the summer in the Tokyo Bay where they have been carried by a sea current from the south might be able to survive this winter, though the chance looks so slim!

I-1. 100 Died in Tokyo
Heat disorder in this summer has always taken 100 lives of the Tokyo 23-Ward Residents.
It is said that high atmospheric pressure from the Pacific and another high pressure from the South Asia (originated in the Indian Ocean) clamped the sky over the Japanese islands situated at the east-north edge of the Eurasia Continent.
It is not in principle related to effect of an CO2 concentration increase. The jet stream and the sea temperature in the Pacific and the Indian Oceans have been in rare states, leading to this hot summer in Japan.
Yet, it looks as though the heating force of the earth is launching the final resistance against the cooling force. It is said that the earth is going to cool down soon, though, through a controversial mechanism.

An Abrupt Climate Change Scenario and Its Implications for United States National Security October 2003
By Peter Schwartz and Doug Randall
...
The Weather Report: 2010-2020
· Drought persists for the entire decade in critical agricultural regions and in the areas around major population centers in Europe and eastern North America.
· Average annual temperatures drop by up to 5 degrees Fahrenheit over Asia and North America and up to 6 degrees Fahrenheit in Europe.
· Temperatures increase by up to 4 degrees Fahrenheit in key areas throughout Australia, South America, and southern Africa.
· Winter storms and winds intensify, amplifying the impact of the changes. Western Europe and the North Pacific face enhanced westerly winds.

Everyday mankind is releasing consumed energy through its economic activities to the air in the form of heat (and CO2). An accumulated amount of the energy to be converted to the air temperature is enormous. It is however to exit the earth to the outer space or to be mostly absorbed by the oceans. Yet, at the higher level of balance between warming force (man made energy + natural energy) and cooling force (energy release to the space), the climate can fluctuate in a wider range than the past when there was no contribution from mankind-releasing energy. So, an abrupt change is very likely to either of the cooling or warming direction. The key player is energy but not CO2. One solution to soften the impact is anyway to increase an amount of plants on the earth like in Amazonis.
I-2. New Mosque in New York
Now, it is apparent that Muslims in the world take the 9/11 Terror as something in the past or as somebody else's tragedy.
It is not the attitude of Americans for freedom of religion but Muslims for resistance against terror conducted in the name of Islam that is being tested.
If I were a Muslim, I would not go to New York till the American War on Islamic Terror is ended.
(I rather suspect that China is behind the scene.
In future, if China challenges America with military forces of whatever scale, America will, China must think, soon forget it regardless of results of the dangerous challenge, like in the case of the "Ground Zero" mosque acceptance, within several years.)
Muslims should not go to America before the American War on Islamic Terror is ended. Islamic residents in America should leave America, going back to the Islamic world to build great peaceful and prosperous society in their domains.
If one Muslim attains his American Dream to be rich in America, no other Muslims in the Islamic world be saved.
Muslims must work twice harder than Americans in their home land just like the Japanese people have done in these 150 years, while teaching, educating, and training Koreans and Taiwanese in addition to Chinese.
When 100 Islamic leaders get together, all they have to do is declaration of holy (non-violent) war against Islamic terrorists.
They had better build Mosque in Beijing, seeking the help of America, since it is so easy to do so in Tokyo.

In a new sign of rising sectarian tension in China, an explosion destroyed a Uighur restaurant in a busy section of Beijing early Friday, September 25. Residents said the restaurant featured specialties from China's northwestern Muslim-majority Xinjiang region.

The new mosque in New York should be named, if built peacefully, "Mosque to Prevent Future 9/11 Terror."

It is also reported that this year unusually many people visited the Yasukuni Shintoism Shrine in Tokyo on August 15, the day WWII ended for the Empire of Japan.
But, none of state ministers of the Kan Cabinet paid respect for fallen soldiers at the shrine, which made those worshippers get angry.
To avoid misunderstanding, no members of the Imperial House have visited the Yasukuni shrine in these years or decades.
The core of the issue is the Class-A War Crimes, namely generals and politicians of the Empire of Japan, who were executed by the American Army subject to verdicts in the International Military Tribunal for the Far East held in Tokyo after WWII but subsequently enshrined in the Yasukuni Shintoism Shrine together with other fallen soldiers of wars since the Meiji Restoration of the imperial authority.
(http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%E7%B4%9A%E6%88%A6%E7%8A%AF%E5%90%88%E7%A5%80%E5%95%8F%E9%A1%8C)
Most of families of soldiers who lost their lives during battles in WWII request more respect from the Japanese Government despite existence of the enshrined Class-A War Crimes in the Yasukuni Shintoism Shrine, since the Imperial Government promised such respect to be paid.
(The Empire of Japan did not send soldiers to China and other Asian regions to kill local people but to punish bad Chinese troops, generals, and politicians, give lessons to the anti-Japanese American Government, and secure crude oil and natural resources in South East Asia. It was not even to help Nazi Germany. It was to secure interest and honor of the Empire of Japan, so that every soldier accepted orders.)
So, when August 15 passes, the summer of Japan is going to turn down, waiting for the final of the national high-school baseball matches being held in Kousien, Hyogo Prefecture.
Yet, this year the heat and humidity of summer looks die-hard all over Japan. As it is so unusual, nobody can tell what will happen in September.
Anyway, see you soon, if not so tropical!
