These issues will dominate the headlines, but they pale in comparison to another problem that is on neither side’s agenda: global warming. That is a pity, because as British Prime Minister Tony Blair recently observed, over the long term, “there is no issue more important than climate change,” and there can be no agreement to reduce it “that doesn’t involve China, America and India.”
这些问题将充斥报刊的头版头条，但与另外一个不在双方议事日程上的问题，也就使全球变暖问题相比，这些问题都显得黯然失色。这是一个遗憾，因为正如英国首相布莱尔最近所说的那样，从长期来看，“没有任何问题比气候变化更为重要”，“没有中国、美国和印度的参与”，不可能达成任何减少气候变化的协议。
