Abstract

The simple but usually overlooked fact is: other than the useful but limited afforestation efforts, there are only two ways to curb the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and, with it, slow down global warming. We either temporarily refrain from extracting carbon from the ground, or we stuff it back into the ground after having extracted its energy. All the technical endeavours to develop alternative technologies and all economic incentive systems to curb the greenhouse effect must subordinate themselves to this fundamental fact.
绿色悖论
一个简单但经常被忽视的事实是:除了有用但有限的植树造林之外,只有两种方法可以抑制大气中二氧化碳的积累,从而减缓全球变暖。我们要么暂时不从地下提取碳,要么在提取了碳的能量后把它填回地下。发展替代技术的所有技术努力和遏制温室效应的所有经济激励制度都必须服从这一基本事实。
