Japanese workers are now sweating in hot offices as a result of the country's campaign to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions.The Wall Street Journal reports that Japan's three largest banks recently ordered their 1,600-plus branches to raise their office temperatures to 82 degrees Fahrenheit in an effort to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions and energy costs.

The Wall Street Journal notes a physiology professor at a university in western Japan as saying 82 degrees Fahrenheit can be comfortable only if you are "thin, naked and stay still."As in the days of Noah...
