原音重現(xiàn)：

A: Global warming doesn't just mean the slow increase in average temperatures. It completely changes the way the Earth's system operates, which is why we can see droughts in one place, floods in another, or even a succession of drought and flood in the same location.
全球變暖現(xiàn)象不只是平均溫度逐漸上升。它會(huì)徹底改變地球的系統(tǒng)運(yùn)作，因此可能會(huì)某地出現(xiàn)干旱，另一地則有水災(zāi)，甚至在同一地區(qū)接連發(fā)生干旱和水災(zāi)。
N: National Geographic author Mark Lynas spent years compiling data from climate models to understand how each degree of warming could threaten the planet.
國(guó)家地理作家Mark Lynas長(zhǎng)期收集氣候模型資料，了解氣溫每升高一度可能對(duì)地球造成的破壞。
A: It's difficult for people to visualize the future impacts of global warming. It's something I really wanted to try and do, to help people visualize the reality, because it isn't actually intuitive that the emissions from your car exhaust are going to be melting a glacier in the Himalayas in 50 years' time.
人們很難直觀地想象地球變暖對(duì)將來(lái)的沖擊。我想做的是幫助人們看見(jiàn)這個(gè)事實(shí)，因?yàn)檫@不是能夠立即意識(shí)到的事，人們不能很直觀的看到汽車(chē)廢氣將在50年后融化喜馬拉雅冰川。
N: While experts estimate the average temperature could rise up to six degrees Celsius, or nearly 11 degrees Fahrenheit, over the next 100 years, the future isn't set in stone. Even a small shift in the Earth's temperature, just six degrees, can have extreme consequences.
雖然專(zhuān)家估計(jì)在未來(lái)100年地球平均溫度可能升高6攝氏度，等于近華氏11度，但這并非不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的結(jié)果。即使地球氣溫只有6度的細(xì)微變化，也將會(huì)造成嚴(yán)重影響。
