8月9日，联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）在瑞士日内瓦发布了一份关于气候变化的最新科学评估报告，其揭示了疫情之外另一场对人类影响更为深远、严重的危机——气候危机正在进一步恶化。
双语阅读
Humans have already heated the planet by roughly 1.1 degrees Celsius, or 2 degrees Fahrenheit, since the 19th century, largely by burning coal, oil and gas for energy. 
And the consequences can be felt across the globe: This summer alone,blisteringheat waves have killed hundreds of people in the United States and Canada, floods have devastated Germany and China, and wildfires haveragedout of control in Siberia, Turkey and Greece.
人类自19世纪以来已让地球的温度升高了约1.1摄氏度(即2华氏度），原因主要是为获得能源燃烧煤炭、石油和天然气。变暖的后果已在全球各地都能感受到：仅今年夏天，严酷的热浪就导致了美国和加拿大数百人死亡，洪水已给德国和中国带来了毁灭性灾害，野火也已在西伯利亚、土耳其和希腊失控。
But that’s only the beginning, according to the report, issued on Monday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a body of scientists convened by the United Nations. Even if nations started sharply cutting emissions today, total global warming is likely to rise around 1.5 degrees Celsius within the next two decades, a hotter future that is now essentially locked in.
但根据联合国召集的科学家组成的政府间气候变化专门委员会周一发布的报告，这仅仅是个开始。即使各国从今天开始大幅减少碳排放，全球变暖的总升温很可能在未来20年内也要达到1.5摄氏度左右，一个更炎热的未来现在基本上已不可避免。
Not all is lost, however, and humanity can still prevent the planet from getting even hotter. Doing so would require a coordinated effort among countries to stop adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by around 2050, which would entail a rapid shift away from fossil fuels starting immediately, as well as potentially removing vast amounts of carbon from the air. If that happened, global warming would likely halt andlevel offat around 1.5 degrees Celsius, the report concludes.
但我们还有一线希望，人类仍然可以阻止地球进一步变暖。要做到这点，就需要各国共同努力，到大约2050年不再向大气中排放二氧化碳，这将需要马上开始从化石燃料迅速转换到其他能源，还可能需要消除空气中大量的二氧化碳。报告总结说，如果能做到这点，全球变暖的升温可能会停止在1.5摄氏度左右。
But if nations fail in that effort, global average temperatures will keep rising — potentially passing 2 degrees, 3 degrees or even 4 degrees Celsius, compared with the preindustrial era. The report describes how every additional degree of warming brings far greater perils, such as ever more vicious floods and heat waves, worsening droughts and accelerating sea-level rise that could threaten the existence of some island nations. The hotter the planet gets, the greater the risks of crossing dangerous “tipping points,” like the irreversible collapse of the immense icesheetsin Greenland and West Antarctica.
但是，如果各国在这方面的努力失败，全球平均气温将继续上升——与前工业化时代相比，升温可能超过2摄氏度、3摄氏度，甚至4摄氏度。翻译划线句，长按文末小程序码打卡，答案下期公布~地球的温度越高，越过危险“临界点”的风险就越大，比如引发格陵兰岛和南极洲西部巨大冰盖不可逆的崩塌。
The new report leaves no doubt that humans are responsible for global warming, concluding that essentially all of the rise in global average temperatures since the 19th century has been driven by nations burning fossil fuels, clearing forests and loading the atmosphere with greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane thattrapheat.
这份新报告毫无疑问地指出，人类对全球变暖负有责任，报告得出结论，自19世纪以来，全球平均气温的上升基本上都是由各国燃烧化石燃料、砍伐森林和向大气中排放二氧化碳以及甲烷这种吸收热量的温室气体造成的。
