原音重現:
N: In 2000, my opponent pledged to regulate CO2 and then… That was not a pledge that was kept. But the point of this is all this time you can see what I have seen all these years. It just keeps going up. It is relentless. And now we're beginning to see the impact in the real world. This is Mount Kilimanjaro more than 30 years ago and more recently.
我的對手在2000年總統大選時承諾管制二氧化碳排放量……當選之后卻沒有信守承諾。但是重點是你們可以清楚地看到這些年來我看到的問題,排放量一直不斷增加,愈演愈烈,開始在全球造成極大的影響。這是30多年前的乞力馬扎羅山,還有這個最近的一張。
