In 1992, the world’s governments adopted the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, promising to avoid “dangerous anthropogenic [human-induced] interference in the climate system” by reducing the rate of emission of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. But, though the treaty entered into force in 1994, the rate of emissions of greenhouse gases, including CO2, has actually increased.
1992年，世界政府通过了联合国气候变化框架公约（UN Framework Convention on Climate Change），承诺通过削减温室气体特别是二氧化碳排放避免“对气候系统的危险的人为干预”。但是，尽管该条约从1994年开始生效，但温室气体包括二氧化碳的排放速度实际上有所增加。
