A new study has found that humans are releasing planet-warming carbon dioxide about 10 times faster than the most rapid event of anytime in at least the past 66 million years.
一项新的研究发现,人类正在释放使地球变暖的二氧化碳的速度,是过去至少6600万年来最快事件的10倍。
The study was published on Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, and it comes one week after it was announced that carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere spiked the largest amount on record, in 2015.
周一这项研究发表在自然地球科学杂志上,一周前宣布地球大气中的二氧化碳水平在2015年飙升到记录中最大值。
The first two months of 2016 were also recorded as the mildest in history, and 2015 was the hottest year on record as well.
2016年头两个月也被记录为史上最温和,2015也是记录中最热的一年。
Researcher Richard Zeebe warns, "We’re still underestimating the long-term consequences of our fossil fuel burning.”
研究员理查德·齐伯表示,“我们仍然低估了燃烧化石燃料的长期后果。”
