Never before in human history have we been richer, more advanced or powerful. And yet we feel overwhelmed in the face of rapid climate change. It seems simple on the surface. Greenhouse gases trap energy from the Sun and transfer it to our atmosphere. This leads to warmer winters, harsher summers. Dry places become drier and wet places wetter. Countless ecosystems will die while the rising oceans swallow coasts and the cities we build on them.
So why don’t we just like… prevent all of that? Well, it’s complicated.

在人类历史上,我们从未如此富裕、先进或者强大。然而,面对快速的气候变化,我们感到不知所措。(气候变化)表面上看起来很简单。温室气体从太阳吸收能量,并将(能量)转移到我们的大气层,这导致冬天更温暖,夏天更严热,干燥的地方变得更干燥,潮湿的地方变得更湿润。当海平面上升,吞噬海岸以及我们在上面建造的城市时,无数的生态系统将会面临毁灭。
那么,为什么我们不....阻止这一切呢? 好吧,这很复杂。
