The 0.5%-of-GDP expense will reduce emissions ever so slightly (if everyone in the EU actually fulfills their requirements for the rest of the century, global emissions will fall by about 4%). This would reduce the temperature increase expected by the end of the century by just five-hundredths of a degree Celsius (nine-hundredths Fahrenheit).
相当于GDP5%的花费减少排放微不足道(如果欧盟各国都在本世纪内实际履行其要求，全球二氧化碳排放将下降大约4%)。这只是在本世纪末的时候降低气温升高百分之五摄氏度(相当于百分之九华式度) 。如此，欧盟雄心勃勃的规划就不会停止甚至大幅度影响全球气候变暖。
