The paleoclimate record makes it clear that rapid climate shifts of the 20th century are only a subset of possible climate system behavior that might occur in the absence of glacial conditions, and that climatic surprises could be a challenge for society even in the absence of significant greenhouse warming.
古气候记录清楚地表明,20世纪的快速气候变化只是在没有冰川条件的情况下可能出现的气候系统行为的一个子集,而且即使在没有显著温室变暖的情况下,气候意外事件也可能对社会构成挑战。
