An academic paper published last year makes the point clear in its title: “Large-scale bioenergy from additional harvest of forest biomass is neither sustainable nor greenhouse gas neutral.” Its authors point out that while the Industrial Revolution caused climate change, reliance on coal was actually good for forests, because our forebears stopped raiding forests for wood.
去年发表的一篇学术论文在标题中表明了核心观点：“大规模采集森林生物燃料既不环保也无法长期实行”。论文作者指出尽管工业革命导致气候变化，但因为我们的祖先停止砍伐树木，煤炭应用实际对森林起到了保护作用。这也是欧美国家森林恢复和发展中国家森林被毁的主要原因。发达国家重新迷恋生物燃料可能步发展中国家的后尘。
