2018年8月刊好文推荐：IN the line of fire
EARTH is smouldering. FromSeattle to Siberia this sum-mer, flames have consumedswathes of the northern hemi-sphere. One of 18 wildfiressweeping through California,among the worst in the stateshistory, is generating such heatthat it created its own weather. Fires that raged through a coast-al area near Athens lastweek killed 91 (see Science section).Elsewhere people are suffocating in the heat. Roughly 125 havedied in Japan as the result of a heatwave that pushed tempera-tures in Tokyo above 40°C for the first time.Such calamities, once considered freakish, are now com-monplace. Scientists have long cautioned that, as the planetwarms—it is roughly 1°C hottertoday than before the industrialages first furnaces were lit—weather patterns will go berserk.An early analysis has found that this sweltering Europeansummer would have been less than half as likely were it notfor human-induced global warming.Yet as the impact of climate change becomes more evident,so too does the scale of the challenge ahead. Three years aftercountriesvowed in Paris to keep warming “well below” 2°Crelative to pre-industrial levels, greenhouse-gas emissions areup again. So are investments in oil and gas. In 2017, for the firsttime in four years, demand for coal rose. Subsidiesfor renew-ables, such as wind and solar power, are dwindling in manyplaces and investment has stalled; climate-friendly nuclearpower is expensive and unpopular. It is tempting to think theseare temporary setbacks and that mankind, with its instinct forself-preservation, will muddle through to a victory over globalwarming. In fact, it is losing the war.
