Unfortunately, a few oil companies (ExxonMobil and Koch Industries are the most notorious) have devoted enormous resources to sowing confusion even where there is clear scientific consensus. But, in order to save the planet we know, and to preserve the world’s food supply and the well-being of future generations, there is no alternative to shifting to a new, low-carbon energy system.
不幸的是，一小撮石油公司（埃克森美孚和柯氏工业集团（Koch Industries）是其中最臭名昭著者）花大力气混淆视听，哪怕科学界早已形成了共识。但是，为了拯救我们所熟悉的地球、保证世界粮食供应和子孙后代的福利，我们只有切换到新的低碳能源体系一途可走。
