Owing to fossil-fuel emissions, there is now one-third more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than at any time in at least a million years, as the latest ice drilling in Antarctica has revealed.

Marika Holland: I think it’s a strong suggestion that reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, fossil fuel burning can actually have an impact on Arctic sea ice cover, that not all hope is lost.

玛丽卡•霍兰德：我觉得这充分说明了，减少温室气体排放量和化石燃料燃烧确能阻止北冰洋海冰消融，我们仍然存有一线希望。
