2. With weak action, like that promised by governments in Copenhagen last December, we will be on course for 3-4º Celsius of global warming. This is bound to outstrip the ability of many societies and ecosystems to adapt.

3. It was not that long ago that experts were predicting that our skyrocketing human population would outstrip its food supply, leading directly to mass famine. By now millions were supposed to be perishing from hunger every year.

   就在不久前，专家们还在预测，快速上涨的人口将超过粮食供应的增长速度，从而直接导致大规模饥荒的爆发。 现在本应有每年数百万人死于饥饿。 这种假说依据的是托马斯·马尔萨斯以前提出的悲惨的计算公式：人口呈几何级数增长，而粮食生产速度则远远滞后。 这看上去似乎很有道理。 我是读着将马尔萨斯理论现代化了的 《人口爆炸》 等灾难预警作品长大的。
