This will require a shift to renewable energy sources such as solar power, and perhaps nuclear power, as well as new technologies to capture carbon dioxide at power plants and then to dispose of the carbon dioxide in safe underground deposits. Society will have to pay a price for these investments in new energy technologies, but the benefits will be vastly greater than the price.
正确的应对方式也正为越来越多的人理解。我们必须转向一种可持续的能量系统，一种不会让大气中的碳含量急剧增加的系统。这将会要求我们转向使用太阳能及核能在内的可再生能源，并采用能将发电厂排放的二氧化碳收集起来并集中进行安全地下处置的新技术。社会必须为采用这些新能源技术付出必要的成本，但我们从中的获益会远大于我们的付出。
