拙著「最新アメリカの政治地図」で詳しく取り上げたカナダのモーリス・ストロング。
地球環境問題、地球温暖化問題、そして京都議定書のゴッドファーザーと呼ばれている人物。

国連のイラクに対するオイル・フォー・フード・プログラム（石油食糧交換計画）に絡む汚職疑惑で失職したものの、現在は北京大学に牙城を移して環境ビジネスで大忙し。

このモーリス・ストロングの奥さんであるハナ（ハンナ）・ストロングがこれまたすごい。
ニュー・エージ＆スピリチュアル系のゴッドマザーと名付けよう。

その影響力は今なお健在。先月は夫婦揃ってコペンハーゲンへ。
ＣＯＰ１５期間中に行われた宗教系とスピリチュアル系のリーダーが集う代表団に参加し、気候変動解決に向けたお話し合いをしていたとか。

この代表団には日本からも霊友会と神慈秀明会の名前もある。
特に神慈秀明会はストロング夫妻ととっても仲良し（画像参照）。

モーリス・ストロングはトヨタのインターナショナル・アドバイザリー・ボード（ＩＡＢ）のメンバーを務めていた。
そして、現在ＩＡＢに名を連ねているのはラジェンドラ・パチャウリ。
パチャウリはクライメートゲートで注目を集めた「気候変動に関する政府間パネル（ＩＰＣＣ）」議長。

トヨタこけたら日本もこける。
日本メディアがクライメートゲートを大きく取り上げない理由もここにあり。

プリウス・ジャパンも危ない橋を渡っているように見える。
