I want to step back, and I want to bring up the concept of negative emissions again.
我想退一步，再次提出負(fù)排放的概念。
Negative emissions require that the CO2 separated be permanently removed from the atmosphere forever,
負(fù)排放，需要被分離的二氧化碳永久性地從大氣層中去除，
which means putting it back underground, where it came from in the first place.
這意味著把它送回地下，也就是它最初所在的地方。
But let's face it, nobody gets paid to do that today -- at least not enough.
但請(qǐng)讓我們面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)吧，至今都沒有人以此為生--至少相關(guān)從業(yè)者數(shù)量還遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠。
So the companies that are developing these technologies are actually interested in taking the CO2
所以開發(fā)這些技術(shù)的公司其實(shí)是對(duì)獲取二氧化碳感興趣，
and making something useful out of it, a marketable product.
為了從中造出有價(jià)值的東西，一個(gè)可銷售的產(chǎn)品。
It could be liquid fuels, plastics or even synthetic gravel.
它可以是液體燃料，塑料，甚至是合成的礫石。
And don't get me wrong -- these carbon markets are great.
別誤會(huì)我的意思--這些碳源的市場(chǎng)非常好。
But I also don't want you to be disillusioned.
但是我也不想讓你們產(chǎn)生錯(cuò)誤的幻想。
These are not large enough to solve our climate crisis,
這些市場(chǎng)還不夠大，不足以解決氣候危機(jī)，
and so what we need to do is we need to actually think about what it could take.
所以我們需要認(rèn)真思考一下還能做些什么來解決危機(jī)。
One thing I'll absolutely say is positive about the carbon markets is that they allow for new capture plants to be built,
關(guān)于碳市場(chǎng)的一個(gè)絕佳的事實(shí)就是，它至少支撐了建造新的捕獲工廠，
and with every capture plant built, we learn more.
每建造一個(gè)捕獲工廠，我們都會(huì)學(xué)到更多；
And when we learn more, we have an opportunity to bring costs down.
當(dāng)我們學(xué)到更多，我們就能不斷地降低成本。
But we also need to be willing to invest as a global society.
但作為一個(gè)國際社會(huì)，我們還需要愿意去投資。
We could have all of the clever thinking and technology in the world,
我們有世界上所有的奇妙思想和科技，
but it's not going to be enough in order for this technology to have a significant impact on climate.
但是這還遠(yuǎn)無法讓這項(xiàng)技術(shù)對(duì)氣候帶來顯著的改善。
We really need regulation, we need subsidies, taxes on carbon.
我們還切實(shí)地需要法規(guī)扶持，我們需要補(bǔ)貼，碳稅。
There are a few of us that would absolutely be willing to pay more,
我們當(dāng)中有一部分人絕對(duì)愿意為此花更多的錢，
but what will be required is for carbon-neutral, carbon-negative paths to be affordable for the majority of society in order to impact climate.
但為了走向零碳排放，甚至是碳負(fù)排放的道路，我們需要讓社會(huì)中的大多數(shù)人都能夠承擔(dān)得起這部分費(fèi)用，才能真正影響氣候。
