新奇事件簿 联合国警告世界停止煤炭依赖(在线收听) |
The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has told world leaders to end their addiction to coal. He said the fossil fuel was a "major threat" to climate change and warned that the coal addiction "must be overcome". Mr Guterres was in Thailand for the ASEAN Summit. He said that many countries in danger from climate change are in Asia. He told the world leaders that: "Countries in these areas are countries that are in one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change." He added that: "Unless we are able to...defeat climate change, in 2050, the research has forecasted that 300 million people in the world will be flooded by sea water." 联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯要求世界各国领导人停止对煤炭的依赖。他表示化石燃料是气候变化的“主要威胁”,并警告称,“必须克服”对煤炭的依赖。古特雷斯在泰国出席东盟峰会。他表示亚洲很多国家都面临气候变化。他告诉世界各国领导人:“这些地区的国家最容易受到气候变化影响的国家之一。”他还说道:“除非我们能够战胜气候变化,否则研究预测,到2050年,全球将有3亿人会被海水淹没。” Mr Guterres said climate change was, "the biggest threat to the planet at the present moment". He said using coal was a big problem. "We have to put a price on carbon. We need to stop subsidies for fossil fuels." He urged, "stopping the construction of coal-power electricity plants in order to be able to defeat climate change." The UN chief was speaking on a day that saw "unbearable" and "hazardous" levels of air pollution in India's capital of Delhi. An Indian health ministry official, Varun Jhaveri, said pollution monitors did not have enough digits to accurately record the pollution. He tweeted: "I think we are heading towards Delhi recording the most polluted day in the history of the world!! This is a disaster!" 古特雷斯称气候变化是,“目前地球面临的最大威胁”。他表示煤炭使用是个大问题。“我们必须给碳定价。我们需要停止对化石燃料的补贴。”他敦促说,“为了能够应对气候变化,我们需要停止建设燃煤电厂。”联合国秘书长发表此番讲话当天正值印度首都德里空气污染达到“难以忍受”及“危险”水平。一名印度卫生部官员Varun Jhaveri表示污染监测仪没有足够的数字来准确记录污染情况。他在推特上表示:“我认为我们正在前往德里记录世界历史上污染最严重的一天!!这是一个灾难!” |
