Instead of single-mindedly trying to force people to do without carbon-emitting fuels, the Hartwell group suggests that we pursue a number of other worthy goals – for example, adaptation, reforestation, encouraging biodiversity, and improving air quality – each of which is important, and all of which may also reduce carbon emissions. As the report notes, “the all-inclusive ‘Kyoto’ type of climate policy…needs to be broken up into separate issues again, each addressed on its merits and each in its own ways.”
除了一心强迫人们放弃碳燃料的做法之外，研究小组建议我们应该追求其他一些更有价值的目标——比如尝试适应变化，重新造林，增加生物多样性，改善空气质量——每一点都很重要，而且每一点都能减少碳排放。正如报告所指出的那样：“那种一锅端的‘京都’式气候政策……必须被分割拆散成几个单独的事务，并遵照每一项事务的特点来制定相应的方案。”
