Likewise, it is negligent to focus on inefficiently cutting CO2 now because of costs in the distant future that in reality will not be avoided. It stops us from focusing on long-term strategies like investment in energy R&amp;D that would actually solve climate change and at a much lower cost.
同样，现在集中精力低效地减少二氧化碳排放也是无知的，因为在遥远的将来所要付出的代价实际上无法避免。这让我们无法集中精力制定长久战略，例如有可能确实以远远更低的代价解决气候变化的能源研发投资。
