2015考研英语阅读北极气候变化

　　减少低层大气中的黑炭以及臭氧，尤其是北极圈国家，如美国，加拿大，俄罗斯，斯堪的纳维亚诸国，能够在未来三十年里降低北极地区的暖化速度达三分之二。

　　Indeed, the report suggests, if such measurespreventing crop burning and forest fires,cleaning up diesel engines and wood stoves, and so onwere adopted everywhere they couldhalve the wider rate of warming by 2050.

　　事实上，如果能如此份报告所说，到处都采取诸如防止焚烧作物和森林火灾，清理柴油发动机以及火炉等措施，到2050年止能将当下较大的暖化速率减半。

　　Without corresponding measures to cut CO2 emissions, this would be but a temporary fix.

　　如果没有相应的削减二氧化碳排放的措施，这将只是一个临时性解决方法。

　　Nonetheless, it is an attractive idea because it would have other benefits and would notrequire the wholesale rejigging of energy production which reducing CO2 emissions implies.

　　尽管如此，这仍是一个有足够吸引力的主意，因为它还能带来其他利益，也不会像削减二氧化碳排放那样需要大规模调整能源产业。

　　Not everyone agrees it would work, though. Gunnar Myhre of the Centre for InternationalClimate and Environmental Research in Oslo, for example, notes that the amount of blackcarbon in the Arctic is small and has been falling in recent decades. He does not believe it isthe missing factor in the models.
