Global Warming（3）

In the face of these major issues, I have once again confirmed my position.

『I would like to go back to the starting point and ask the question. We need to start by unraveling the essence of what we were born for. It is not only to live, but also to protect the lives of our children, partners, families, friends, and future lives. And besides that, I think each of us has a mission of what we are meant to accomplish.』

I then noted one piece of data to make it easier to understand this vague and major issue.

『If we keep a close eye on each phenomenon, small changes are steadily progressing out of our sight as harbingers of big changes. The average temperature is steadily rising around the world. In Japan, for example, the average temperature has increased by 1.21 degrees Celsius per century (3.2 degrees Celsius in Tokyo, a major city). If this trend is not halted now, a crisis will steadily come in the near future, and there will be nothing we can do. For this reason, it is necessary to properly predict what may happen in the future, formulate countermeasures, and implement them. It is also important to establish a new framework for education (e.g., incorporating this into the educational curriculum from elementary school onward) so that each and every one of us understands this fact.』
