Al Gore: 我认为我们有能力解决气候危机,只要我们能够聚集足够的政治意愿来加速淘汰化石燃料。气候危机本质上是化石燃料危机,因为80%的排放都来自于燃烧化石燃料。现在我们有了更便宜、更清洁、更能创造就业机会的替代方案,在各个方面都表现得更好。因此,我们只需要克服历史上最强大的商业游说团体——化石燃料游说团体的政治力量。尽管如此,影响全球变暖、污染和排放的许多决策并不完全取决于美国联邦政府的行动。各州州长、市长和商业领袖们大多会继续减少排放,因为这在经济上是合理的,而且对于招聘和留住最优秀、最聪明的员工,特别是年轻人来说,这非常重要。清洁能源和各种其他技术的势头已经不可阻挡。化石燃料行业正在失去电力生产和交通运输这两个主要市场。我认为大局已定,我们将完成这一转变,我们将解决气候危机。剩下的问题是,我们将以多快的速度做到这一点?

  As the world record's it's highest ever average global temperatures, and the US, once again, quits the UN climate change pact, Al Gore is surprisingly upbeat on humanity's ability to tackle global warming. He spoke to Radio Davos at the Annual Meeting, where he presented a new system that tracks greenhouse gas emissions around the world, Climate TRACE.   Links: Global Risks Report 2025:  Climate TRACE: Climate and Health Initiative: Centre for Nature and Climate:    Related podcasts: : : : Check out all our podcasts on wef.ch/podcasts:  YouTube: - Radio Davos - subscribe: Meet the Leader - subscribe: Agenda Dialogues - subscribe: Join the World Economic Forum Podcast Club:
