摘要

"These days, there is much terrible news on climate change. One may now choose from a wide variety of YouTube videos that offer reasons why their authors think humans will be gone by 2030 -15 years away! Consequently, it was with mounting disquiet that I read through the Faith in Earth issue of A/J. I haven't got a lot of faith in those who say, "I have faith in the future because I have FAITH" (Ursula M. Franklin, A/J 42:1, p. 80). That quintessentially circular argument attaches to almost every voice in the magazine: Atwood "believes," McKibben "hopes," the ghosts of Julian Simon and Pollyanna are much in evidence. But do we have time for them? Instead, can we move on to approaches that may yet solve the crisis of the biosphere? Why not devote an issue to biological carbon capture, another to a tough-minded critique of carbon taxes, renewables, and the much-touted recipe for vegan panacea, another to considering how to reduce population quickly and humanely, and another to vigorously restoring nature. If, after a hiatus of 10,000 years, we re-enter into a bioremediating partnership with Nature, we may yet make it."

Franklin,A / J 42: (第1页,第80页)这种典型的循环论点几乎附在杂志上的每一个声音上:阿特伍德(Atwood)“相信”,麦基本(McKibben)“希望”,朱利安·西蒙(Julian Simon)和波莉安娜(Pollylyanna)的幽灵有很多证据,但是我们有时间吗?取而代之的是,我们可以继续采用可能解决生物圈危机的方法吗? ,另一个是考虑如何快速,人道地减少人口,另一个是大力恢复自然。如果在10,000年的中断之后,我们重新与Nature缔结了生物修复合作伙伴关系,那么我们可能会成功。”
