CNN 7月31日報道：顯然，氣候危機已經降臨我們頭上

（Clearly, the climate crisis is upon us https://edition.cnn.com/2018/07/31/opinions/climate-crisis-is-upon-us-opinion-intl/index.html）

（美國有線電視新聞網）今年夏天，從日本到北極圈，從加利福尼亞到希臘，炙熱的氣溫、兇猛的乾旱，肆虐的野火，滔滔洪水和嚴峻的水資源短缺，毫無疑問都證明氣候危機現在已降臨我們頭上。

這是新常態，未來勢必更糟。

我們，整個國際社會，這個星球的居民，危機迫在眉睫，直面這一危機的時刻到了。大家心知肚明，國際社會必須採取果斷有力的措施，超越2015年巴黎氣候協議微不足道的目標，才能避免文明的毀滅。

(CNN)This summers sizzling temperatures, savage droughts, raging wildfires, floods and acute water shortages -- from Japan to the Arctic Circle, California to Greece -- are surely evidence beyond any reasonable doubt that the climate crisis is upon us now.

This is the new normal -- until it gets worse.

We, the entire global community, the residents of this planet, must finally grasp the urgency at hand and undertake dramatic, meaningful measures -- initiatives beyond the modest goals of 2015 Paris climate accord -- to stave off nothing less than the destruction of civilization as we know it.
