Climate change wasn't set in motion overnight, so we aren't going to bring it to a quick halt either. But we can be certain that if the human race keeps barreling ahead the same way it did in the 20th century, constantly seeking ever greater consumer comforts, our descendants may never see springtime at all in the next century. But we humans are not noted for farsightedness.
大地風雲變色不是一朝一夕的事，也不是短時間能立竿見影改善，但我們可以確定的是，如果人類繼續朝著二十世紀的發展模式前進，不斷地追求更新更大更舒適的消費社會，我們的子孫將可能見不到下個世紀的春天。
