The world is facing a series of interlinked emergencies that are threatening the existence of humans, because the sum of the effects of the crises is much greater than their individual impacts, according to a new global study.
Climate breakdown and extreme weather, species loss, water scarcity and a food production crisis are all serious in themselves, but the combination of all five together is amplifying the risks of each, creating a perfect storm that threatens to engulf humanity unless swift action is taken.
标题：研究-人类正面临完美风暴危机的威胁
根据一个新的全球研究，由于这些危机的总影响远大于它们各自的影响，这个世界正面临着一系列威胁着人类生存的连环危机。
气候失调和极端天气，物种灭绝，水资源短缺和食物供应危机各自都十分严重，但它们五个结合会放大彼此的威胁，造成了一个除非人类迅速行动，否则将会吞没人类的巨大风暴。
如果有什么东西在未来几十年里可以杀掉上千万人，那更可能是个有高度传染性的病毒，而不是战争。也不是导弹，而是微生物。——比尔盖茨
If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it's most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war. Not missiles, but microbes. ——Bill Gate演讲视频
