The world has taken an important step toward controlling climate change by agreeing to the Bali Action Plan at the global negotiations in Indonesia earlier this month. The plan may not look like much, since it basically committed the world to more talking rather than specific actions, but I am optimistic for three reasons.
本月早些时候，世界各国在印尼举行的全球谈判中达成巴厘行动规划，从而在控制气候变化的道路上迈出了重要一步。这一规划貌不惊人，因为它基本上只是让各国承诺进行更多的会谈而非确实的行动。但是出于三点原因我持乐观态度。
