Newsy新闻懒人包(视频+字幕+讲解):关于气候变化你可能不知道的事

  • By now, there are lots of things about climate change you probably think you know, like how carbon dioxide could lead to a warmer atmosphere or how melting ice could raise sea levels.
  • 现在,有很多关于气候变化的事情你可能认为你知道,像二氧化碳如何导致大气变暖或者融化的冰如何提高海平面。
  • Those ideas are more right than wrong, but the truth is it's complicated.
  • 这些想法是正确的,但事实却是复杂的。
  • While certain natural functions need CO2, too much could throw off the planet's carbon-cycle balance.
  • 虽然某些自然的功能需要二氧化碳,过多可能会影响地球的碳循环平衡。
  • A 2014 study, for example, showed plants can absorb more CO2 than we thought,about 1 trillion tons. And more carbon dioxide can even help plants grow.
  • 例如,一项2014年的研究表明,植物吸收的二氧化碳比我们想象的要多,大约有1万亿吨。更多的二氧化碳甚至可以帮助植物生长。
  • But too much atmospheric CO2 can ultimately hinder plant growth because it can influence weather patterns, like longer droughts.
  • 但大气太多的CO2最终会阻碍植物的生长,因为它会影响天气模式,比如更长的干旱。
  • Although human activity is driving the increase in CO2, we might only partly contribute to other climate change phenomena.
  • 虽然人类活动正在推动二氧化碳的增加,我们可能只是部分地促进了其它气候变化现象。
  • In a recent study, scientists found things that happen naturally, like temperature flux and solar radiation, make up as much as half of the overall decline in sea ice.
  • 在最近的一项研究中,科学家发现自然发生的事情如温度通量和太阳辐射,构成了海冰整体下降一半。
  • So, sea ice melt isn't entirely our fault, but we do still contribute at least half and that's a problem.
  • 因此,海冰融化并不完全是我们的错,但我们仍然贡献至少一半,这是一个问题。
  • Sea ice reflects sunlight, which keeps Earth cool. Less of it means the dark ocean can absorb more light, which heats up the planet.
  • 海冰反射阳光使地球保持凉爽。它的减少意味着深蓝的海洋可以吸收更多的阳光使地球变热。
  • But melting sea ice doesn't raise sea levels. Research attributes that to land ice, from mountain glaciers and ice sheets that flow into the ocean.
  • 但是融化的海冰并不能提高海平面。研究发现是流入海洋的高山冰川和冰原使海平面上升。
  • Think of it like adding water to an already full glass,eventually it will overflow.
  • 想想,就好像是把水倒在已经满了的杯子里,最终它会溢出来。
