It's Official: Atmospheric CO2 Just Exceeded 415 ppm For The First Time in Human History
官方消息:人類歷史上大氣二氧化碳濃度首次突破百萬分之415
Yet another alarming milestone of humanity's damaging effect on the environment has now officially been reached – crossing a barrier into a hot, polluted future like the planet hasn't witnessed in millions of years.
人類對(duì)環(huán)境造成的破壞又達(dá)到了一個(gè)令人擔(dān)憂的新高度,已經(jīng)跨越門檻走向一個(gè)地球數(shù)百萬年來未曾見過的炎熱的被污染的未來。

Sensors in Hawaii recorded Earth's atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) passing 415 parts per million (ppm) for the first time since before the ancient dawn of humanity.
據(jù)夏威夷的傳感器記錄,地球大氣中的二氧化碳(CO2)濃度自人類遠(yuǎn)古時(shí)期至今首次突破了百萬分之415。
Last Saturday, CO2 concentration recorded at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii by researchers from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography hit 415.26 ppm – the latest in a dire series of climatic thresholds being breached by a human society that refuses to relinquish the conveniences afforded by fossil fuels.
上周六,斯克里普斯海洋研究所的研究人員在夏威夷莫納羅亞天文臺(tái)記錄的二氧化碳濃度高達(dá)百萬分之415.26,人類社會(huì)因?yàn)榫芙^放棄燃燒化石燃料帶來的便利而突破了一系列氣候危險(xiǎn)閾值,這次又刷新了一個(gè)記錄。
"This is the first time in human history our planet's atmosphere has had more than 415 ppm CO2," meteorologist Eric Holthaus tweeted.
氣象學(xué)家Eric Holthaus在推特上寫道:“這是人類歷史上首次地球大氣層中二氧化碳濃度突破百萬分之415?!?/div>
"Not just in recorded history, not just since the invention of agriculture 10,000 years ago. Since before modern humans existed millions of years ago. We don't know a planet like this."
“這個(gè)首次不僅僅是在歷史記錄上,也不僅僅是1萬年前農(nóng)業(yè)出現(xiàn)以后,而是現(xiàn)代人類出現(xiàn)之前的百萬年前至今。以前地球從未出現(xiàn)過這種情況。”
It was only a few years ago that carbon pollution in the atmosphere soared past 400 ppm, and it didn't take long much longer to reach 410 ppm (in 2017).
僅僅幾年前大氣中碳污染剛剛飆升至百萬分之400,之后沒過多久(2017年)就達(dá)到了百萬分之410。
In fact, with this record-breaking surge in atmospheric carbon poisoning the skies and trapping Earth's heat, scientists knew hitting 415 ppm in 2019 was all but inevitable.
其實(shí)科學(xué)家也知道,有飆升至破紀(jì)錄的大氣碳濃度破壞著天空,給地球保溫,在2019年碳濃度達(dá)到百萬分之415幾乎是不可避免的。
