But, all these years later, I have yet to meet anyone who knows what they are talking about who is prepared to defend Kyoto as a substantive global public policy. ”It was a way of getting the ball rolling,” on climate change, say some. ”It was a way of waking up the world to the seriousness of the problem,” say others.
但是，这么多年过去，把京都议定书辩解为实在的全球性公共政策、同时又言而有据的人，我还没有遇到一个。关于气候变化，有人说：“这是开端”。另一些人说：“这可以唤醒世界，让他们知道问题的严重性”。
