| 1 | Welcome to the Global News podcast from the BBC. | 欢迎来到英国广播公司的全球新闻播客。 |
| 2 | I'm Uncle Desai. | 我是德赛叔叔 |
| 3 | Today, I'm joined by our climate editor, Justin Rola. | 今天,我加入了我们的气候编辑,贾斯汀·罗拉。 |
| 4 | Justin, it's always great to have you on. | 贾斯汀,有你来真好 |
| 5 | But we are talking about something which is quite concerning. | 但是,我们是在谈论一些相当有关的事情。 |
| 6 | The wildfires which are spreading across Europe. | 遍布欧洲的野火 |
| 7 | Just describe the scope of them and how vast they are. | 只要描述一下它们的范围,以及它们有多大。 |
| 8 | Uncle, these are really big fires. | 叔叔,这真是大火 |
| 9 | So the Spanish authorities say these fires are six times bigger | 西班牙当局说这些火灾是六倍大 |
| 10 | than the fires they experienced last year, typically across the whole of the fire | 比去年他们所经历的火灾, 通常在整个大火中 |
| 11 | season, which starts in June, ends about the end of September. | 季节从6月开始,到9月底结束。 |
| 12 | Across the whole of the fire season, on average, Spain would see 100,000 hectares | 在整个火灾季节,西班牙平均有10万公顷土地 |
| 13 | burnt. | 烧焦了 |
| 14 | They've already had 130,000 hectares burnt. | 他们已经烧了13万公顷 |
| 15 | So these are already bigger than the annual average. | 所以这些已经比年平均值大。 |
| 16 | And in France, similarly, this is way bigger than they've seen before. | 在法国,类似地,这比他们以前看到的要大得多。 |
| 17 | Started earlier, burning more extensively and also, you know, burning a lot | 更早开始,烧得更广,而且,你知道,烧得很多 |
| 18 | hotter than they expect these fires to burn. | 比他们预期的火烧得更热 |
| 19 | And the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, has talked about this being a | 西班牙总理佩德罗·桑切斯谈到, |
| 20 | climate emergency. | 气候紧急情况。 |
| 21 | Just I mean, how big an emergency is this? | 我是说,这有多紧急? |
| 22 | Because it feels every time there is a spread of wildfire, it becomes more | 因为每当野火蔓延时 感觉会更强烈 |
| 23 | and more dangerous. | 更危险 |
| 24 | Well, the emergency comes because climate change, as we know, is making summers | 紧急情况的到来 是因为我们知道 气候变化正在让夏天 |
| 25 | and springs hotter and drier and obviously high temperatures | 更热、更干燥、更高的温度 |
| 26 | and low rainfall create the conditions that allow these fires to | 低降雨量创造了条件,使这些火灾得以 |
| 27 | to burn and burn extensively. | 燃烧和大量燃烧。 |
| 28 | But it's also combined, actually, interestingly, with the quite wet winter. | 但它也结合,实际上,有趣的是, 与相当湿润的冬天。 |
| 29 | Now, that isn't necessarily a climate issue because rainfall varies | 这不一定是气候问题 因为降雨量不同 |
| 30 | quite dramatically year to year. | 年复一年,非常引人注目。 |
| 31 | But the wet winter allowed lots of vegetation to grow. | 但湿润的冬天使得许多植被得以生长. |
| 32 | Then when we had a dry, very dry spring, very dry summer, the vegetation | 然后当我们有一个干燥,非常干燥的春季,非常干燥的夏季,植被 |
| 33 | dries out. | 干干净净。 |
| 34 | You've got loads of fuel, loads of tinder. | 你有一堆燃料,还有一堆铁器 |
| 35 | So when a spark comes and lights a fire, there's much more fuel to burn. | 所以,当一个火花来点燃一个火的时候, 更多的燃料可以燃烧。 |
| 36 | And that's why we're seeing such hot fires with these extraordinary | 这也是为什么我们看到如此热火 与这些非凡的 |
| 37 | 一种气象现象, 这些烟火 cumulanibus云, | |
| 38 | these fire driven thunder clouds that are rising above some of the fires, | 这些火驱使的雷云 正在上升 在一些火上, |
| 39 | literally creating their own weather. | 从字面上创造了自己的天气。 |
| 40 | So they draw in huge amounts of air as the plume of smoke rises | 所以随着烟雾的升起,它们会吸引大量的空气 |
| 41 | into the high atmosphere. | 进入高空大气 |
| 42 | So create these unpredictable winds, often dramatic downdrafts, | 所以创造出这些无法预测的风, 常常是戏剧性的下水, |
| 43 | which can change the direction of the fire, fan the flames, | 它可以改变火的方向, |
| 44 | but also lightning, which can spark even new blazes. | 还有闪电,它甚至可以点燃新的火焰。 |
| 45 | And then sometimes, you know, it can be beneficial. | 有时候,你知道,它可能是有益的。 |
| 46 | You get some rain. | 你得到一些雨水。 |
| 47 | But often the fire is so hot, the rain actually evaporates | 但往往火这么热,雨会蒸发 |
| 48 | before it hits the ground. | 在它落到地上之前, |
| 49 | So really kind of we're seeing some really unusual, really dramatic things. | 因此,我们真的看到了一些非常不寻常,非常戏剧性的东西。 |
| 50 | These are the kind of things that you typically see in, you know, | 这些是你通常看到的 |
| 51 | in wildfires in Canada or in America, those huge wildfires. | 在加拿大或美国野火中 那些巨大的野火 |
| 52 | You get over there and you see these kind of these these these | 你去那边,你看到这些东西 |
| 53 | thunder clouds formed by the cloud, the fire, very unusual in in Europe. | 雷云由云,火形成,在欧洲非常不寻常. |
| 54 | And again, an indication just of how exceptional this fire season is. | 再一次地,表明这个火灾季节是多么的不寻常。 |
| 55 | And something else I've heard you talk a lot about as well, | 还有件事我听到你也说了很多 |
| 56 | the accumulated vegetation and the abandoned land, | 积聚的植被和荒芜的土地, |
| 57 | which can also provide fuel to these fires. | 也可以为这些火灾提供燃料。 |
| 58 | Yeah, it's really interesting. | 是啊,这真的很有趣。 |
| 59 | You know, Spain and France both have seen this kind of exodus from rural areas | 你知道,西班牙和法国 都看到这种外流 从农村地区 |
| 60 | as your agricultural techniques have changed and the jobs have drawn people in. | 由于你的农业技术已经改变 工作吸引了人们。 |
| 61 | So as older people die, they've been leaving the countryside. | 所以随着老年人的死亡,他们一直在离开农村. |
| 62 | And that means there's a lot of a kind of abandoned land, as you say. | 这说明有很多废弃的土地,就像你说的。 |
| 63 | And often that grows, turns to scrub and scrub, which, as I say, | 并经常生长, 转向洗涤和洗涤, 正如我所说的, |
| 64 | can dry out quite easily, then becomes tinder, becomes fuel for fires. | 很容易干燥,然后变成钢铁,成为火灾的燃料。 |
| 65 | So another reason it's kind of the management of our landscapes, | 所以,另一个原因,它是某种 管理我们的景观, |
| 66 | you know, that needs to be addressed if we're going to begin to tackle | 如果我们要着手解决 |
| 67 | that, cutting fire breaks in exactly those kind of conditions, which, | 在那种情况下 火会断裂 |
| 68 | you know, dry scrub one spark and, you know, you can have a huge configuration. | 你知道,干洗一个火花 而且,你知道,你可以有一个巨大的配置。 |
| 69 | I guess, Justin, what can we do now | 我猜,贾斯汀,我们现在能做什么? |
| 70 | to help prevent these fires becoming a regular occurrence going forward? | * 帮助防止这些火灾成为经常发生的情况? |
| 71 | It feels as though local officials talk about forest management. | 当地官员似乎谈论森林管理。 |
| 72 | They talk about planting different types of trees. | 他们谈论种植不同类型的树木. |
| 73 | What are some of the methods? | 有哪些方法? |
| 74 | I guess we all need to think about now going forward. | 我想我们都需要考虑下一步的工作。 |
| 75 | Well, we've talked a bit about that fuel accumulating. | 嗯,我们已经谈了一点 关于燃料积累。 |
| 76 | And, you know, these forest management methods that you're talking about | 你所说的这些森林管理方法 |
| 77 | often are about reducing that. | 经常是减少。 |
| 78 | And there are quite interesting things they can do, for example, | 有相当有趣的事情 他们可以做,例如, |
| 79 | putting big kind of grazing animals in there to eat it. | 把大种类的放牧动物 在那里吃它。 |
| 80 | Goats, maybe cows, you know, back in the old days, you'd have oryx, | 山羊,也许奶牛, 你知道,回到过去,你会有牡蛎, |
| 81 | these huge kind of buffaloes that would be in the, you know, | 这些巨大的水牛 将会在,你知道, |
| 82 | in the thousands of years ago in the forest. | 数千年前的森林里 |
| 83 | So maybe bringing some of those animals back to reduce the amount of scrub | 所以也许能带回一些动物 来减少擦拭量 |
| 84 | and grasses and brush there is there. | 草丛和刷子就在那里。 |
| 85 | And also they're talking about control burns, | 他们还在谈论控制灼伤, |
| 86 | something we do see in other forest areas, again, in in North America | 我们在北美其他森林区看到的 |
| 87 | and in Canada, you sometimes see that. | 在加拿大,你有时会看到 |
| 88 | So in kind of dry seasons when the but when the ground is quite wet, | 所以在干燥季节 当地面很湿的时候 |
| 89 | so it's quite controllable, you can burn some of that bush brush away. | 这样可以控制 你可以把灌木刷烧掉 |
| 90 | And that can, you know, means there's less fuel for the fires. | 这可以,你知道,意味着火的燃料较少。 |
| 91 | But it's something else rather more dramatic that they're talking about doing, | 但是,这是其他更戏剧性的 他们谈论做, |
| 92 | not just in Spain and France, but as far north as the UK | 不仅在西班牙和法国 而且在北边的英国 |
| 93 | and into Scandinavia is cutting fire breaks against | 而进入斯堪的纳维亚 正在切断对火的突破 |
| 94 | something you see quite commonly in places like Canada. | 在加拿大这种地方你很常见 |
| 95 | But big fire breaks, which means break the forest and allow an opportunity | 但大火的爆发意味着森林的破坏 并给机会 |
| 96 | for the fire services to get in and kind of control the fire. | 消防部门可以控制火灾 |
| 97 | It doesn't immediately jump to the next trees. | 它不会立即跳到下一个树上。 |
| 98 | So that's something we may be seeing. | 所以,这是我们可能看到的东西。 |
| 99 | And that may really change the way that our natural environment looks. | 这可能会真正改变我们自然环境的外观。 |
| 100 | You know, the wild spaces, the natural parts that we've got | 你知道,野外的空间, 我们拥有的自然部分 |
| 101 | may have these rather brutal kind of lines cut through them | 可能有这种残酷的线条穿过它们 |
| 102 | in order to prevent, well, frankly, to prevent the whole lot | 为了防止 坦白地说 为了防止所有事情发生 |
| 103 | coming up in flames in the future, because as the climate continues to warm, | 因为随着气候持续暖和 |
| 104 | we can expect even drier summers and therefore, you know, even more kind of | 我们甚至可以期待更干燥的夏天, 因此,你知道,更类型的 |
| 105 | fire susceptible landscapes. | 易燃风景. |
| 106 | Justin, with your experience and when you when you watch the coverage, | 贾斯汀,有你的经验 当你看报道, |
| 107 | what do you think we're missing? | 你觉得我们错过了什么? |
| 108 | Well, what do you think sometimes we need to be more aware of? | 你觉得我们有时需要多了解一些什么? |
| 109 | And sometimes it sort of goes under the radar. | 有时它会像在雷达下。 |
| 110 | Things which frustrate you that we maybe need to be talking about more or be aware of. | 令你失望的事情,我们也许需要 谈论更多或意识到。 |

| 112 | it looks, you know, apocalyptic. | 它看起来,你知道,启示录。 |
| 113 | Yeah, it's quite terrifying. | 是啊,这是相当可怕的。 |
| 114 | It's terrifying. | 这是可怕的。 |
| 115 | And, you know, I think it should serve as a reminder to us all | 而且,你知道,我认为它应该 作为提醒我们所有人 |
| 116 | of the kind of consequences of allowing climate change to continue | 气候变化的后果 |
| 117 | to drive temperatures up. | 让温度上升 |
| 118 | I think the other thing, sometimes people look at these things and think, | 我觉得另外一件事, 有时人们看着这些东西,想, |
| 119 | well, that's an issue for Spain and France when they should really be thinking, | 那对西班牙和法国来说是个问题 当他们真的在想 |
| 120 | how is that going to how is climate change going to change? | 气候变化将如何改变? |
| 121 | You know, if you don't live in Spain and France, you live elsewhere, | 如果你不住在西班牙和法国 你住在别的地方 |
| 122 | maybe in a more northerly latitude, thinking, well, this is something | 也许在一个更北纬, 思考,嗯,这是东西 |
| 123 | that could come our way. | 这会来我们的方式。 |
| 124 | And maybe we should be beginning to think about how we change the way | 也许我们应该开始思考 我们如何改变方式 |
| 125 | we manage our landscapes to stop this happening when we get similarly | 我们管理着我们的风景 以阻止这种情况 当我们得到相似 |
| 126 | hot, dry springs and summers. | 温,干泉和夏季。 |
| 127 | Do you sense there will be more political will to do something about this | 你觉得会有更多的政治意愿来做一些事情吗? |
| 128 | a lot quicker, be more proactive in terms of taking action | 动作要快得多 行动要更主动 |
| 129 | and dealing with climate change? | 对付气候变化? |
| 130 | Are the other leaders now going to have to now sit down together? | 其他领导人现在必须坐在一起吗? |
| 131 | A lot of them, like you mentioned from countries | 很多人,就像你从各国提到的那样 |
| 132 | which may not be typically affected by wildfires, | 通常不会受到野火的影响, |
| 133 | but everybody needs to now have a better consensus | 但每个人都需要有一个更好的共识 |
| 134 | in terms of how to tackle this going forward. | 如何解决今后这个问题。 |
| 135 | Well, we've often said that the way to tackle climate change | 我们经常说应对气候变化的方法 |
| 136 | is for countries to get together. | 是各国聚在一起 |
| 137 | You know, a few years back, there was pretty broad global consensus | 你知道,几年前, 已经有相当广泛的全球共识 |
| 138 | that climate change was an important issue to tackle collectively as a world community. | 气候变化是作为国际社会集体处理的一个重要问题。 |
| 139 | That has kind of evaporated a bit, partly driven by the president | 这有点蒸发了 部分是由总统推动的 |
| 140 | of the United States, who's quite sceptical about climate change | 美国对气候变化持怀疑态度 |
| 141 | and the requirement to tackle it. | 和解决它的要求。 |
| 142 | So that's kind of weakened that global consensus. | 所以这有点削弱了全球共识。 |
| 143 | But, you know, it's interesting, isn't it? | 但是,你知道,这是有趣的,不是吗? |
| 144 | You see the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez saying | 你看西班牙首相佩德罗·桑切斯说 |
| 145 | this is evidence of a climate emergency. | 这是气候紧急情况的证据。 |
| 146 | And I think, you know, as we said, you look at the pictures, | 我想,你知道,正如我们所说, 你看这些照片, |
| 147 | it certainly looks like a very dramatic emergency situation. | 看上去非常紧急 |
| 148 | And, you know, one hopes that for people who want action on climate change, | 而且,你知道,人们希望,对于想要采取行动应对气候变化的人来说, |
| 149 | this will stimulate leaders to say this is something, you know, | 这将激励领导人们说,这是一件事情,你知道, |
| 150 | I don't want to have to be explaining to my electorate | 我不想向选民解释 |
| 151 | why we didn't begin to tackle this issue sooner. | 为何我们没有更早地解决这个问题。 |

| 153 | become more ambitious in tackling climate change. | 在应对气候变化方面更加雄心勃勃。 |
| 154 | And just finally, I guess, us as human beings, as a society, | 最后,我想,我们人类,社会, |
| 155 | a world global society, well, what could we be doing more? | 一个世界性的全球社会,那么,我们还能做些什么呢? |

| 157 | even with our family members across the dinner table, perhaps? | 甚至和家人一起过餐桌 也许吧? |
| 158 | Well, it comes down to the requirement to ultimately tackle the source of climate change. | 归根结底是最终解决气候变化根源的要求。 |
| 159 | Greenhouse gas emissions, we need to reduce those. | 我们需要减少温室气体排放。 |
| 160 | I mean, the good news is that globally we appear to be reaching kind of peak CO2 emissions, | 好消息是全球二氧化碳排放量似乎达到了顶峰 |
| 161 | partly because machines and stuff are getting more efficient, | 部分原因是机器和东西 越来越有效率, |
| 162 | partly because we're using more renewable energy. | 部分原因是我们正在使用更多的可再生能源。 |
| 163 | That is good news. | 这是好消息。 |
| 164 | But remember that the carbon dioxide we put in the atmosphere stays there for hundreds, | 但记住我们放入大气层的二氧化碳 停留在那里达数百人 |
| 165 | sometimes thousands of years. | 有时候是几千年 |
| 166 | So there's a stock of it up there. | 所以上面有一堆东西 |
| 167 | We've got to stop adding to that stock. | 我们必须停止增加这种股票。 |
| 168 | So it's OK. | 所以没关系。 |
| 169 | It's great that we're plateauing our emissions. | 非常好,我们正在稳定排放。 |
| 170 | But really, we need to drive them down more dramatically. | 但是,真的,我们需要 驱赶他们更显著。 |
| 171 | So we should all be thinking about how we can kind of reduce our emissions, | 所以我们都应该思考如何减少排放, |
| 172 | you know, maybe fly a bit less, use the car a bit less, public transport, | 你知道,也许飞行少一点, 使用汽车少一点, 公共交通, |
| 173 | maybe eat a bit less meat, which is associated with methane, | 也许少吃一点肉, 这与甲烷有关, |
| 174 | which is another greenhouse gas. | 这是另一种温室气体。 |
| 175 | So there are all those things, the familiar things, frankly, | 所以有所有这些东西, 熟悉的东西,坦率地说, |
| 176 | that we can do that we should be concerned about. | 我们可以做我们应该关心的事。 |
| 177 | And the other thing, of course, is if you're worried about climate change, | 还有一件事,当然, 如果你担心气候变化, |
| 178 | you know, articulate that concern, speak out about it, | 你知道,表达这种关切, 说出来, |
| 179 | write to your, you know, your member of parliament, | 写信给你,你知道,你的议员, |
