Welcome to Canopy Japan LLC

Mission

Focusing on Japan and Asia, Canopy Japan LLC was founded for the purpose of providing accessible tools to bring people together for the common goal of reducing the negative impacts of human activities on our climate, and our planetary systems.

We believe the first step is a fact-based understanding of our climate. Recognizing that we all come from different backgrounds, we believe that to achieve a base to work from there needs to be a platform that makes climate information fun and interesting.

A lay population seems to see complex climate data as TL;DR. So while scientific analysis is a key to understanding the reasons behind the climate problem. Communicating the strategy for remediation and progress is a wholly different problem. We here at Canopy Japan and Canopy Publishing US believe fostering fact-based conversations, outside the academic environment, will lead to positive change. Discussions by an engaged—and informed—public stimulates interest and supports action on the climate crisis.

The climate change problem is not a scientific debate anymore. It is sociological problem of developing the public will to meet, address, and solve the problem.

Vision

The development of these climate discussions among the public, without direction from us, or anyone else, will allow the political will to develop in an organic, positive fashion—so long as the information the public is working with contains the insights people need to see when spin meisters are showing almost information at them. It is this kind of awareness that is central to making progress.

ただし、それには条件があります。それは、人々が手にする情報の中に「本質を見抜くための洞察」が含まれていることです。意図的な情報操作や、中身のない情報が溢れる中で、何が真実かを見極める力（リテラシー）こそが、進歩を実現するために重要なのです。

Our sister company, Canopy Publishing US has been working the climate change information (and disinformation) issue since the late 1990s. Through their books, websites, speeches, consultations, blogs like Climatebull, and other venues, Canopy Publishing has brought that knowledge forward and is now expanding it though the use of Short Form Videos produced by Canopy Japan LLC's subsidiary Canopy Studios - Japan.

These videos will be circulated in Asia by Canopy Japan LLC and in the Americas, Europe and Africa by Canopy Publishing US.

Our Goals

Canopy Japan is an independent Japanese Company founded in 2025 and located on the beautiful island of Okinawa. Canopy Japan LLC's purpose is to produce and distribute understandable—and fun— videos on the climate.

In addition Canopy Japan LLC will distribute print books, e-books, and audio books in Japan and the rest of Asia.

Initially the books will be in English. Versions of the books will eventually be distributed in Japanese with the first versions being audio-books sometime later in 2025 or early 2026.

In all, our work centers on guiding a rational dialogue among the public to build the political will to meet head on the challenges of climate change that we face in Japan.

Five Works of Fiction on Climate Change

The Climatebull

Converting Controversial Stories
into Entertainment

What is The Climatebull?

"The Climatebull was a website that attempted to clarify some of the contradicting information that was floating about back in 2011 when it was launched. Over time it has evolved in a fascinating history of the world’s climate and its affect on human society—as well as how human society affects climate through GHGs, politics, economics, and common sense."

"Currently it is a platform for more in depth information about the short form videos videos that appear on the Studios page of this web site."

The topics featured include climate science, climate and economics, climate and politics, and commentary on how we humans can adjust our dangerous course of climate myopia—as well as few satirical jabs at the absurdity of the human condition. Humor is a strong component of how we present information on The Climatebull and throughout the website.

It is that humorous backing that led us to name the web site The Climatebull. A bull are not known for it's gentle nature. This is an acknowledgement that to make meaningful change on climate policy, polite discourse has little chance of achieving anything.

Science was, and still is, marginalized by the media and the political structure—patricularly in the US. Hard-nosed satirical jabs, on the other hand, always elicit responses from the political structure—though the responses may be hidden responses.

As well, there was, and still is, a lot of Bull***t about the changing climate and I figured turnabout was fair play.

The website was formed to cut through the nonsense and I figured the name The Climatebull was fitting.
