Likewise, when politicians fret that we will lose a significant proportion of polar bears by 2050, they use it as an argument for cutting carbon, but forget to tell us that doing so will have no measurable effect on polar bear populations. Instead, we should perhaps stop shooting the 300 polar bears we hunt each year.
同样，政坛人物着急地说，到2050年的时候北极熊的数量将会大幅度减少。然而他们只是利用这一点来支持减少二氧化碳排放，却没有告诉我们这样做对于北极熊的数量没有可以衡量的效果。相反，我们应当停止每年捕杀300头北极熊。
