Somebody should Bell the Cat

Do you know a movie “Die Hard”? In the part of beginning scene, a police man is trying to disarm the time bomb in elementary school’s gym. Tik, tok. tik, tok…. Many students who don’t know the existence of time bomb are in till there. Night sweat are dropping follow cheek’s wrinkle of a cop. Time is running toward the catastrophe. We might be live with time bomb. Greenhouse effect is similar time bomb. Global climate is warmer and warmer, and the effects of - gas emission are grower and grower. All people in the word are exposed to gas emission’s bad effects. Most parts of the world are influenced by abnormal climate. The world climate is affected by greenhouse effect. Consequently, many absurd phenomena are happened world widely. Short autumn, more rain, growing level of sea are some part of deviant weather. Farmers in Indonesia are confused by the weather, and travel guides in Australia are upset by irregular weather condition. Climate change is a universal happening, and warmer weather trapped in the troposphere is the main cause. No one can deny the green house effect. However, most industrialized countries are emitting carbon dioxide, and global weather is warming.
In AFP’ article, “Carbon pollution by rich countries still rising: UNFCCC” (2006) states that the industrialized countries increased in gas pollution of 11% in 14 years since 1990. US emitted 7.067 billion tones of pollution in the same period. According to WAGNER, T (2006), the world economy will be in crisis by global warming on the scale of the world war. In his 700-pages economic analysis, Sir Nicholas Stern, the former chief economist of the World Bank, warned that rising greenhouse effect is an acute threat to world economy. Besides that, global temperature change is so dramatic that it would competing the last ice age. (Frew W. & Peating S., 2006)

First, there have been some efforts to solve this issue since 1990. However, we have yet to reach the ultimate solution. It is not caused by ignorance but by economic reasons. The best solution is upon to the industrialized countries’ power elites. If they want to face the problem seriously, they can come up with a clue. There in no time to hesitate. It’s time to act. Somebody should bell the cat.
Second, giving a reward those who try is another good encouraging method. International support to nations which reduce the gas emissions is a fascinating program. Reduce the gas emission means that the nation should curb the economic development.
Third, to solve greenhouse effect, world must sustain forestation. Wood land make fresh air by respiration. Sustain and managing forest is one of the essential elements to save the world.
Finally, it might be an effective plan to search a model nation which makes an alternative energy consumption system, and notifies it world widely. For example, Sweden made a great progress in gas consumption. According to Kim J.S.(2006), Sweden, in 2004, can cut the gas consumption from 69% to 32% during 29 years. Thanks to the slogan “make Sweden without gas till 2020”, Sweden will make a landmark in endangered world environmental history.

However the hero didn’t come till explode.
