The US has agreed to back an international ban on trade in critically endangered bluefin tuna, and now the European Union nations will do so as well, with Malta being the only dissenting vote. That still leaves us with Japan, which consumes about 80% of the world's bluefin tuna, saying it won't participate when CITES votes to ban trade next week.
Japan opposes plans to list the Atlantic bluefin tuna, which is highly prized in sushi and sashimi, as a most-endangered species and to ban its international trade, an official said on Monday.

"Japan, the world's largest consumer of bluefin tuna, hailed a 40 percent quota cut agreed in Brazil in the hope that it will preempt a complete trade ban, a fisheries official said Monday."
Japan's next leader has promised a big cut in greenhouse gas emissions, saying he will aim for a 25% reduction by 2020 compared to 1990 levels.
Canada and Japan were blocking a possible deal on climate change at the Copenhagen summit, Sir David King, the former Chief Scientific Adviser,
Damage caused by global warming will cost Japan at least an extra 11 trillion yen each year by the end of the century, even if carbon emissions are halved by 2050
