1、翻了个译，MTI专业辅导Rich countries like Sweden need to start reducing emissionsby at least 15 percent every year.And that is so that we can stay below a two-degree warming target.Yet, as the IPCC have recently demonstrated,aiming instead for 1.5 degrees Celsiuswould significantly reduce the climate impacts.
2、But we can only imagine what that means for reducing emissions.You would think the media and every one of our leaderswould be talking about nothing else,but they never even mention it.Nor does anyone ever mentionthe greenhouse gases already locked in the system.Nor that air pollution is hiding a war
3、mingso that when we stop burning fossil fuels,we already have an extra level of warmingperhaps as high as 0.5 to 1.1 degrees Celsius.Furthermore does hardly anyone speak about the factthat we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction,with up to 200 species going extinct every single day,that the
4、 extinction rate todayis between 1,000 and 10,000 times higherthan what is seen as normal.Nor does hardly anyone ever speak about the aspect of equity or climate justice,clearly stated everywhere in the Paris Agreement,which is absolutely necessary to make it work on a global scale.That means that r
5、ich countriesneed to get down to zero emissions within 6 to 12 years,with todays emission speed.And that is so that people in poorer countriescan have a chance to heighten their standard of livingby building some of the infrastructure that we have already built,such as roads, schools, hospitals,clea
6、n drinking water, electricity, and so on.Because how can we expect countries like India or Nigeriato care about the climate crisisif we who already have everything dont care even a second about itor our actual commitments to the Paris Agreement?So, why are we not reducing our emissions?Why are they
7、in fact still increasing?Are we knowingly causing a mass extinction?Are we evil?No, of course not.People keep doing what they dobecause the vast majority doesnt have a clueabout the actual consequences of our everyday life,and they dont know that rapid change is required.We all think we know, and we
8、 all think everybody knows,but we dont.Because how could we?If there really was a crisis,and if this crisis was caused by our emissions,you would at least see some signs.Not just flooded cities, tens of thousands of dead people,and whole nations leveled to piles of torn-down buildings.You would see
9、some restrictions.But no.And no one talks about it.There are no emergency meetings, no headlines, no breaking news.No one is acting as if we were in a crisis.Even most climate scientists or green politicianskeep on flying around the world, eating meat and dairy.If I live to be 100, I will be alive in the year 2103.When you think about the future today, you dont think beyond the year 2050.By then, I will, in the best case, not even have lived half of my life.翻了个译，MTI专业辅导
