When the G-7’s leaders meet next week in Germany, they should use the occasion to take the first steps toward avoiding the most dangerous consequences of global warming.

法兰克福—六个月后，世界各国代表将齐聚巴黎，为达成对抗气候变化的全球协定努力。下周，G-7领导人将在德国召开会议，他们应该抓住这次机会迈出避免全球变暖的最危险后果的第一步。这一问题事关世界安全与繁荣，它不是是否或何时开始向低碳经济转型的问题，而是如何实现转型的问题。
