About Global Warming Again
再谈气候变暖
导读
这是一篇选自Newsweek 的关于环保的时事类文章。作者采用类比的写作手法写抽烟是想说明现在的温室效应。许多人抽烟没有人去管，是因为缺乏证据，各国政府不管温室效应也是因为同样的原因。本文主要讲各国政府对温室效应的解决态度，全文围绕“证据不足”、“科学意义”、“制定法律”这样三个关键词展开。
Do you remember all those years when scientists argued that smoking would kill us but the doubters insisted that we didn’t know for sure? That the evidence was inconclusive, the science uncertain? That the anti-smoking lobby was out to destroy our way of life and the government should stay out of the way? Lots of Americans bought that nonsense, and over three decades, some 10 million smokers went to early graves.
There are upsetting parallels today, as scientists in one wave after another try to awaken us to the growing threat of global warming. The latest was a panel from the National Academy of Sciences, enlisted by the White House, to tell us that the Earth’s atmosphere is definitely warming and that the problem is largely man-made. The clear message is that we should get moving to protect ourselves. The President of the National Academy, Bruce Alberts, added this key point in the preface to the panel’s report: “Science never has all the answers. But science does provide us with the best available guide to the future, and it is critical that our nation and the world base important policies on the best judgments that science can provide concerning the future consequences of present actions.”
还记得科学家们认为吸烟会致人死亡，而那些怀疑者们却坚持认为我们无法对此得出定论的时候吗？还记得怀疑者们坚持认为缺乏决定性的证据、科学上也尚无定论的时候吗？还记得怀疑者们坚持认为反吸烟游说团体是为了毁掉我们的生活方式、而政府应该置身事外的时候吗？许多美国人相信了这些无稽之谈，结果在过去的三十多年中，差不多有一千万烟民早早地进了坟墓。
