15,000 Scientists Issue ‘Warning to Humanity’
15000名科學(xué)家發(fā)布“人類警告”
Over 15,000 scientists have signed a letter to humanity that warns of catastrophic consequences for the earth, including vast human misery for our rapidly growing population. This is a follow-up letter to an original warning that 1,700 scientists issued exactly 25 years ago. Every threat to the earth has worsened since the original letter except the hole in the ozone layer which has improved. The letter warns that it will soon be too late to prevent mass extinction, dead zones in the ocean, and a lack of fresh food and water. In addition to the warning, the letter offers suggestions for preventing this fate, including phasing out the investment and use of fossil fuels and eating more plant-based foods.
15000多名科學(xué)家簽署了一封給人類的信件，提醒人類給地球帶來的災(zāi)難性后果，包括人口快速增長帶來的大量痛苦。這是對25年前1700名科學(xué)家發(fā)布的最初警告的后續(xù)補(bǔ)充。自最初的信件發(fā)布以后，除了臭氧層空洞有所改善外，所有對地球的威脅都已惡化。這封信警告人們很快就無法阻止物種大滅絕、海洋中的死亡區(qū)、缺乏新鮮食物和水源。除這些警告外，信里還提供了避免這一命運(yùn)的建議，包括逐步淘汰對化石燃料的投資和利用、多吃植物類食物。
