苏格兰泥潭沼泽地吸收了英国生态系统中四分之三的泥炭——这相当于化石燃料燃烧一个世纪所排放的碳量。

Scottish peat bogs hold three-quarters of all the carbon in British ecosystems - equivalent to around a century of emissions from fossil fuel burning.

另外，作者提到，为了维护完全依靠风能、水能和太阳能系统运营的稳定性，要借助第三个较少的能源，而不是靠化石燃烧的系统。

Also aiding in the reliability of a system running completely on wind, water, and solar power, the authors say, is that it would need about a third less energy than a fossil-fired system.

化石能源的不完全燃烧会释放微尘，造成城市雾，这会引起很多呼吸系统疾病，比如哮喘。

And the particles released by the incomplete burning of fossil fuels give rise to urban smog, which cause many respiratory diseases, for instance, asthma.
