If politicians change course and agree this December to invest significantly more in research and development, we would have a much greater chance of getting this technology to the level where it needs to be. And, because it would be cheaper and easier than carbon cuts, there would be a much greater chance of reaching a genuine, broad-based – and thus successful – international agreement.
如果政治家们能改变谈判进程并在今年12月达成一致，将更大数量投资在研究和提高技术方面，我们就可能拥有一个更好的机会把这项技术提高到所需的水平之上。并且由于它价格更低，比削减碳排放更加简单可行，这对于达成一个真心诚意而且得到广泛支持——并因此成功实现——的国际条约来说也是一个更好的机遇。
