The EU’s new global warming agreement may help win elections for leaders faced with voters scared by the prospect of climate change. But it will do virtually no good, at high cost, and – as with many other lofty promises from the EU – it will carry a high probability of failure.
欧盟的新全球变暖协定可能会有助于领导人们在选举中赢得选票。选民们在为全球变暖而恐惧。但它终究是毫无实效且成本高昂的，并且—正如欧盟许多其它夸大的承诺一样—它失败的几率非常高。我们寄望于世界的其它国家和地区能够保持冷静的头脑，并提出一个更好、更经济也更有效的未来解决方案。
