Asia’s mountain glaciers will lose at least a third of their mass through global warming by the century’s end, with dire consequences for millions of people who rely on them for fresh water, researchers have said. 研究人员称，到本世纪末，亚洲山区的冰川将因全球变暖而流失至少1/3，这将给数百万依赖冰川获得清洁水源的民众带来可怕后果。 This is a best-case scenario, based on the assumption that the world manages to limit average global warming to 1.5C over pre-industrial levels, a team wrote in the journal Nature. 一支研究团队在《自然》期刊上写道，这还是最好的设想，上述情况的前提是各国能够将全球温度的升高幅度控制在仅比工业化前高出1.5摄氏度。 |
