问题     We, the human species, are confronting a planetary emergency—a threat to the survival of our civilization that is gathering ominous and destructive potential even as we gather here. But there is hopeful news as well: we have the ability to solve this crisis and avoid the worst—though not all—of its consequences, if we act boldly, decisively and quickly.
    However, too many of the world’s leaders are still best described in the words of Winston Churchill applied to those who ignored Adolf Hitler’s threat: "They go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, all powerful to be impotent".
    So today, we dumped another 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet, as if it were an open sewer. And tomorrow, we will dump a slightly larger amount, with the cumulative concentrations now trapping more and more heat from the sun.
选项
答案     今天我们人类正面临着一次全球性的危机，威胁我们文明的延续。就在我们大家聚在一起共商对策的同时，危机却在扩大，形势不容乐观。不过也有令人欣喜的消息：如果我们能够大胆决策，果断行动，迅速反应，就有能力解决这场危机，至少可以在一定程度上避免出现最坏结果。
    但是，时下世界上的很多领导人对这场危机视而不见，这完全可以用当年温斯顿.丘吉尔批评欧洲政要忽视阿道夫.希特勒的话来形容他们，"他们在奇怪的悖论中前行，仅仅为一个决定而犹豫不决，有了决心却拖泥带水，信心犹疑不定，见解随波逐流，掌权者虚弱无力"。
    而如今我们向这个星球脆弱的大气层排放超过七千万吨温室气体，将其当作天然的排污口。明天我们还会变本加厉地向大气层排放温室气体，导致越来越多的温室气体吸纳了越来越多的来自太阳的热量。
