欧洲科学家预测全球将再创高温纪录
📖 逐句对照翻译
Europe’s climate agency says this year is likely to break 2023’s record for the hottest year ever.
欧洲气候机构表示，今年很可能打破2023年创下的史上最热年份纪录。
Researchers at the Copernicus agency also predicted 2024 will be the first year to be more than 1.5 degrees Celsius hotter than what is called the pre-industrial period.
哥白尼机构的研究人员还预测，2024年将成为首个比所谓前工业化时期高出1.5摄氏度以上的年份。
That period, from 1850 to 1900, is when humans began the widespread burning of fossil fuels.
1850年至1900年这一时期，正是人类开始大规模燃烧化石燃料的阶段。
The new data was released ahead of the United Nations COP29 climate meeting taking place this week in Azerbaijan.
新数据在联合国COP29气候会议于本周在阿塞拜疆召开之前发布。
At that meeting, international representatives are expected to agree to call for more spending to fight the worldwide effects of climate change.
在这次会议上，预计国际代表将一致呼吁增加支出，以应对气候变化在全球范围内的影响。
The European climate agency said that from January to October, the average world temperature rose so much that 2024 would almost surely be the world's hottest year on record.
欧洲气候机构表示，从一月到十月，全球平均气温上升幅度如此之大，2024年几乎肯定会成为有记录以来全球最热的一年。
Copernicus said its records date back to 1940 and are compared with world temperature records going back to 1850.
哥白尼计划表示，其记录可追溯至1940年，并与可追溯至1850年的全球温度记录进行了比较。
The director of Copernicus, Carlo Buontempo, told Reuters news agency the main cause of this year's record is climate change.
哥白尼项目主任卡洛·布翁坦波告诉路透社，今年创纪录的主要原因是气候变化。
"The climate is warming, generally. It's warming in all continents, in all ocean basins. So we are bound to see those records being broken," Buontempo said.
“气候总体上在变暖。所有大陆、所有海洋盆地都在变暖。因此，我们必然会看到这些纪录被打破，”布翁滕波说。
Buontempo also said the data clearly show such warming would not be happening without the continued release of carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
布恩坦波还表示，数据清楚地表明，如果不大气中持续排放碳，这种变暖就不会发生。
Scientists say carbon dioxide is released by the burning of coal, oil and gas.
科学家表示，煤炭、石油和天然气的燃烧会释放二氧化碳。
Buontempo noted the importance of worldwide observations and data collection to support the group’s findings and predictions.
Buontempo指出了全球观测和数据收集对于支持该小组的研究结果和预测的重要性。
Copernicus gathers data from billions of measurements from satellites, ships, aircraft and weather stations around the world.
哥白尼计划从全球卫星、船舶、飞机和气象站获取数十亿次测量数据。
Sonia Seneviratne is a climate scientist at public research university ETH Zurich in Switzerland.
索尼娅·塞内维拉特内是瑞士公立研究型大学苏黎世联邦理工学院的一名气候科学家。
She told Reuters she was not surprised by the new prediction.
她告诉路透社，她对这项新预测并不感到意外。
Seneviratne urged delegates at COP29 to agree to stronger action to limit the use of carbon-producing fossil fuels.
塞内维拉特内敦促出席COP29的代表们同意采取更有力的行动，限制使用产生碳排放的化石燃料。
"The limits that were set in the Paris agreement are starting to crumble given the too-slow pace of climate action across the world," she said.
她说：“由于全球气候行动步伐过于缓慢，《巴黎协定》设定的限制正开始瓦解。”
Many countries agreed to try to prevent the average temperature of the atmosphere from increasing by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius over a period of years by signing the 2015 Paris Agreement.
许多国家通过签署2015年《巴黎协定》，同意努力防止大气平均温度在数年内上升超过1.5摄氏度。
Officials from Copernicus have said that the 1.5-degree Celsius limit could be passed around 2030.
哥白尼计划的官员表示，1.5摄氏度的限值可能会在2030年左右被突破。
"It's basically around the corner now," Buontempo said.
布翁坦波说：“现在基本上就在眼前了。”
Climate scientists say each increase in temperature can fuel extreme weather.
气候科学家表示，气温每上升一次，都可能加剧极端天气。
Recent examples of weather-related events include flooding that killed hundreds of people in Spain and wildfires in Peru.
近期与天气相关的事件例子包括西班牙导致数百人死亡的洪灾以及秘鲁的野火。
In Bangladesh, flooding destroyed more than 1 million tons of rice, driving food prices higher.
在孟加拉国，洪水摧毁了超过100万吨大米，导致食品价格进一步上涨。
