中文注释:印度东部地下260英尺(80米)处的矿工们从地球里面往外挖煤。这些煤燃烧的时候会向大气中释放二氧化碳(CO2 )。当一些新兴国家加入他们工业化的邻国燃烧更多矿物燃料的时候,空气中的CO2 量在下个世纪预计增加一倍。很多承认地球气候规律具有可怕复杂性的专家认为过高的CO2 水平会给全球气温升高和致使重大气候变化带来真正威胁。——摘自1998年《国家地理杂志》5月号《解开气候之谜》 作者: Joanna B. Pinneo
印度 煤矿工 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Coal Miners, Eastern India, 1998"Turning the planet inside out, miners 260 feet (80 meters) down in eastern India dig coal that will release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere when burned. As emerging nations join their industrialized neighbors in burning more fossil fuels, the amount of CO2 in the air is expected to double in the next century. Most experts, acknowledging the awesome complexity of Earth's climate system, believe higher CO2 levels carry a real threat of raising global temperatures and bringing about significant climate change." 随机推荐: |
