It may be reassuring to believe there are cheap and easy things we can do as individuals to stop global warming, or that the answer is to continue chasing a chimerical global agreement on carbon cuts, as in Cancún. But the real action that we can take is to press our politicians to put smarter ideas on the table.
相信我们作为个人可以有阻止全球变暖的廉价而简单的方法可能让我们感到安慰，或者相信解决之道在于像在坎昆那样继续一厢情愿地谋求签订全球碳减排协议。 但我们可以采取的真正行动在于迫使政治家拿出更明智的方法。
