Humanity’s only hope is that the vicious circle of extremism can be replaced by a shared global understanding of the massive challenges of climate change, food supplies, sustainable energy, water scarcity, and poverty. Global scientific processes like the IPCC are critical, because they offer our best hope of forging a consensus based on the scientific evidence.
人类唯一的希望是，对于气候变化、食品供应、可持续性能源、水资源缺乏和贫困这些巨大的挑战，人类能达成世界范围内的共识，而这些共识可以取代极端主义的恶性循环。如IPCC这样的全球科学程序是至关重要的，因为它们在最大程度上给了我们期望，那就是在科学证据的基础上铸造共识。
