Trump deaf to dire U.S.climate warning(特朗普无视美国的气候警告)[1,2段]
As a cold spell settled across parts of the U.S over the Thanksgiving holiday,President Donald Trump took to Twitter with a question he shouldn't need to ask:"Whatever happened to Global Warming?"he mused on Nov.21.
在感恩节过后,随着天气寒冷在美国部分地区逐渐平息,特朗普总统在推特上提出了一个他本不应该问的问题:“全球变暖会发生什么?”他在十一月21日若有所思的说。
Two days later,scientists working for 13 agencies across his Administration gave Trump a stark reminder. The climate-which,despite the President's question,is not the same thing as the daily weather-remains very much in peril,and its warming threatens the welfare of the U.S That finding, which came as part of a longplanned and congressionally mandated report,underscores the reality of climate change during the Trump presidency.The President may not"believe" in climate change or understand the science behind it, but he cannot control its political,economic and scientific consequences.And those consequences are bleak.
两天以后,为特朗普的13个政府机构工作的科学家给他一个明确的提醒。尽管总统提出了问题,但是气候是不同于每天的天气预报的,而且气候变暖的威胁是美国发现的计划以久的,国会授权的报告中的一部分,强调了在特朗普总统任期间气候变化的现实。总统可能不相信这个气候的改变,或者理解它背后的科学,但是他不能控制他的政治,经济,科学的后果。并且这个后果是黑暗的
