摘要

As the Paris climate talks were starting, activist Bill McKibben wrote in Foreign Policy magazine that "The conference is not the game-it's the scorecard." He explained that he did not expect the negotiations to produce any significant breakthroughs, but they would consolidate the progress that has been made in recent years through many smaller agreements such as the one negotiated between the United States and China in 2014. Of course, he also argued that these actions are a woefully inadequate response to the threat of global climate change. His hope is that the meeting will set the stage for a "ratchet mechanism" by which nations will continue to adjust upward their commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if the evidence of the damage of climate change becomes more compelling.
