Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases are likely to accelerate the rate of climate change.

If we could reduce the amount of CO2, perhaps the rate of climate change could also be slowed down.

如果我们能减少CO2的含量，也许气候变化的速度就也能有所减缓。

It simply means that the road to making reductions significant enough to affect the rate of climate change is much longer than expected.

只是表明，通向大幅削减气体排放以减缓气候变化的速率这个目标的道路远比我们预期的要长远。

Since 1984, tropical waters in the Northern Hemisphere have warmed at a rate of about 1 degree Fahrenheit per decade, according to data compiled by NOAA. This figure is 10 times the global rate, a harbinger of climate change.

As a result of the power of compound interest, the choice of discount rate used to estimate the potential economic costs of climate change is more important for purposes of understanding the trade-offs associated with competing climate-change policy options than perhaps any other single issue in climate change economics.

The controversy surrounding the choice of discount rate used in climate-change economics still rages today.
