Human diseases can kill one person at a time, but the COVID-19 pandemic showed massacres could be possible. The climate crisis could be even worse, potentially leading to a bigger number of deaths of the human species and all living systems on Earth. I urge us to change our human-focused mindset to solve many problems, including the climate crisis, which humans caused to the entire ecosystems due to our arrogance: humans own this world. In this perspective article, I propose four recommendations to address climate issues through paradigm change and safe and sustainable technologies.
人类疾病每次可能致使一人死亡,但新冠疫情表明大屠杀也有可能发生。气候危机可能更糟,有可能导致人类以及地球上所有生物系统更多的死亡。我敦促我们改变以人类为中心的思维方式,去解决包括气候危机在内的诸多问题,气候危机是人类因自身的傲慢给整个生态系统造成的:人类主宰这个世界。在这篇观点文章中,我提出四项建议,通过范式转变以及安全和可持续技术来应对气候问题。
