But we shouldn’t fool ourselves into thinking that swapping our current car for a Prius, or replacing our incandescent lights with energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs, will strike a meaningful blow against climate change. The real fix to this problem will come when governments focus on research and development aimed at boosting the proportion of green energy sources in overall consumption.
这样说不是要鼓励任何人出去买一台悍马。 但我们也不能自欺欺人地以为把现在的座驾换成普瑞斯，或把白炽灯换成节能荧光灯就能很好地应对气候变化。 真正的解决方法来自于政府全力开展提高绿色能源在总能耗中所占比例的研发项目。
