东京议定书签订以来地球变得更野蛮和高温 [美国媒体]

Earth is a wilder,warmer place since last climate deal made

东京议定书签订以来，地球变成一个更加野蛮、高温的地方



PARIS(AP) — This time, it's a hotter, waterier, wilder Earth that world leaders aretrying to save.

巴黎——当下，世界各国领导人应该设法拯救这个气温不断升高、降雨量不断上升，气象灾害更加暴虐的世界。

Thelast time that the nations of the world struck a binding agreement to fightglobal warming was 1997, in Kyoto, Japan. Asleaders gather for a conference in Parison Monday to try to do more, it's clear things have changed dramatically overthe past 18 years.

上一次世界各国达成一致协议对抗全球变暖是在1997年日本东京。随着各国领导人在本周一再次集聚巴黎商讨更多应对政策，我们能清楚地知道过去18年间事件已经发生了显着变化。

Somedifferences can be measured: degrees on a thermometer, trillions of tons ofmelting ice, a rise in sea level of a couple of inches. Epic weather disasters,including punishing droughts, killer heat waves and monster storms, haveplagued Earth.

我们能从许多数据和变化中得出说明：温度计上的显示的刻度、数以万亿的冰雪融化、海平面上升、历史性的气象灾害，包括干旱、狂风巨浪、大风暴、瘟疫等肆虐全球。



Asa result, climate change is seen as a more urgent and concrete problem than itwas last time.

这些现象导致的结果是，目前的气候问题相比1997年那次更加紧急和具体。

"Atthe time of Kyoto,if someone talked about climate change, they were talking about something thatwas abstract in the future," said Marcia McNutt,the former U.S. Geological Survey director who was picked to run the NationalAcademies of Sciences. "Now, we're talking about changing climate,something that's happening now. You can point to event after event that ishappening in the here and now that is a direct result of changingclimate."

“当时在东京，如果人们谈论到气候改变，他们只能说一些未来可能发生的很抽象的事件。现在，当我们谈论到气候变化时，有些事情就是在现时发生的。你能从现在正在发生的事情推测出以后可能发生的一系列事件，都它们都是气候变化产生的直接后果。” 美国前国家地理探勘主管Marcia McNutt如是说，Marcia McNutt后被选调去国家科学院任职。

".....sincethe last climate deal made" --- Well then, brain surgeons,the CLIMATE DEALS are a waste of time and money, apparently. Earth is much morepowerful than your INTELLECTUAL meetings and will do whatever the heck it wantsto, When it wants to. YOU, my BRAINIAC FRIENDS, areobviously not in charge!

“---自从上次气候协议生效以来”——好吧，气候协议只是浪费时间和金钱好吗！地球比你们什么智力峰会要高明的多，它想做什么就能做什么，任何时候只要它想都行。你，我的才智非凡的朋友们，这明显不怪你们！

Sea-level2 1/2"higher than 1997? Really? NASA had it at .23mm annually in a recent report.

海平面比1997年高了2 1/2？真的吗？NASA才在一份报告里说，海平面的高度是23mm。

Howmuch are those who are attending this meeting from far far away contributing tothat which they protest against by traveling to Paris.
Seemsthat if they stayed home and did the meeting via internet they would accomplishmore.

那些千里迢迢坐着飞机赶到巴黎开会说要为气候变化做贡献的人们呐。如果他们只是坐在家里通过互联网开会应该更能达到目标吧。

Itis nice that all the bigwigs talk about it but if they were serious why nothave solutions? I am in the construction trade, why doesn't the governmentallow 100% deduction for people putting solar panels on their roofs? I beteveryone that could afford it would do it.

这么多有影响力的人来讨论这件事情当然是好，但是如果他们真的当一回事的话为什么没有拿出解决方案呢？我是做建筑施工的，为什么政府不能100%推行让建太阳能挡板的房顶呢。我敢打赌，那样做费用人人都负担得起都愿意做。

事情并不像Fox News 和 Rupert Murdoc说的那样。你们那些愚蠢的自由党人只是想用这些科学和化学伎俩骗我们保守党而已。

Thepaid commenters respond in force whenever there is an article about climatechange. Fossil fuel companies have been funding efforts to deny the science andincrease uncertainty. The American public overwhelmingly believes that humanscontribute significantly to global warming, and that something should be doneabout it by us. In other parts of the world, those feelings are even stronger.

无论何时有关气象的文章出来总有那些收费的评论家对其展开评论。那些化石公司出资雇佣评论家来否定科学，增加人们心中对这个问题的不确定性。美国人一直相信是人类是造成全球变暖的主要原因，人类必须为此负责。而在世界的另外一些地方，这样的想法增加强烈。
