| Remarks | 1. This cartoon illustrates the
decision of the
Australian government to ban the light bulb by 2012 and have them replaced by
low-energy light bulbs, in order to save electricity and thus lower carbon dioxide
emission and fight global warming 2. This seems to be a follow-up on the first cartoon, as it shows the globalwarming earth in the form of an ice-cream, celebrating the beginning of spring but at the same time giving a warning! |
