This does not mean that climate change is not important; it means only that the EU’s climate policy is not smart. Over the course of this century, the ideal EU policy would cost more than $7 trillion, yet it would reduce the temperature rise by just 0.05oC and lower sea levels by a trivial nine millimeters.
这不是说气候变化不重要；只是说欧盟并未执行明智的气候政策。纵观本世纪，理想中的欧盟政策将耗资7万多亿美元，但气温只能少升高0.05oC，此外还有区区9毫米的海平面下降。投入如此巨额资金后，造成的差异我们甚至都察觉不到。
