In fact, new studies show that 38% of the EU carbon cuts leak elsewhere, meaning that European climate policy avoids not three cents of climate damage per dollar spent, but less than two. From 1990 to 2008, the EU cut its emissions by about 270 million metric tons of CO2.
其实，最新研究结果显示38%的欧盟碳减排渗漏到了别处，这意味着欧洲的气候政策每耗费1美元避免的气候损失不是3美分，而是不到2美分。从1990年到2008年，欧盟二氧化碳实现减排约2.7亿公吨。但事实证明单单来自中国一地进口增量的额外排放就几乎相当于欧盟的减排额。因此从本质上看，欧盟只是将部分排放量向海外转移。
