Climate change and population control can make for a politically explosive mix, as media mogul Ted Turner demonstrated Sunday when he urged world leaders to institute a global one-child policy to save the Earth’s environment.
氣候變化和人口控制可製做一政治的爆炸性混合，正如媒體大亨特德特納星期日示範，當他敦促世界各國領導人構建全球性的一胎化政策，以拯救地球的環境。
Mr. Turner spoke at a luncheon where economist Brian O’Neill from the U.S.’s National Center for Atmospheric Research unveiled his study on the impact of demographic trends on future greenhouse gas emission, a little-discussed subject given its political sensitivity.
特納先生在一個午餐會上發言，在那裡來自美國國家大氣研究中心的經濟學家布賴恩奧尼爾，公佈他的研究在人口趨勢的影響對未來溫室氣體排放量，一少人討論的主題鑑於其政治敏感性。
Mr. O’Neill’s study concluded that a rapidly rising global population is contributing to an acceleration of emission growth, and that widespread availability of family planning could reduce the amount of emissions reductions required in 2050 by as much as 30 per cent.
奧尼爾先生的研究結論是，迅速增長的全球人口造成排放量增長的加速，以及普及的家庭計劃提供可減少排放減少的數量，在2050年要求多達百分之三十。
Mr. O’Neill acknowledged that discussion of climate change and population is a political minefield. The Roman Catholic Church has condemned any such connection, while developing countries resist rich-world prescriptions that they should limit their populations.
奧尼爾先生承認，氣候變化和人口討論是一個政治地雷區。羅馬天主教會已譴責任何這樣的聯繫，而發展中國家堅拒富裕國家的藥方，即他們應該限制它們的人口。
The global population is now close to seven billion people, and is expected to rise to 10 billion by 2050, with 80 per cent of that growth coming in developing countries.
全球人口現在接近70億人，預計在2050年將上升到100億，增長的80%來自發展中國家。
Mr. Turner – a long-time advocate of population control – said the environmental stress on the Earth requires radical solutions, suggesting countries should follow China’s lead in instituting a one-child policy to reduce global population over time. He added that fertility rights could be sold so that poor people could profit from their decision not to reproduce.
特納先生 - 一位長期人口控制倡議者 - 說環境壓力在地球需要徹底的解決辦法，建議國家應遵循中國的領導以構建一孩化政策，隨著時間去減少全球人口。他補充，生育權利可被出售，因此窮人能受益於他們的不育決定。“If we’re going to be here [as a species] 5,000 years from now, we’re not going to do it with seven billion people,” Mr. Turner said.
Former Irish president Mary Robinson warned that radical prescriptions for population control would backfire, ensuring that the subject will remain off the agenda of international climate talks.
“If we do it the wrong way, we can divide the world,” Ms. Robinson said. “A lot of people in the climate world could communicate this very badly.”
China boasts that its controversial one-child policy has helped limit emissions growth in that rapidly industrializing country. At the Copenhagen climate summit last year, national planning official Zhao Baige said Chinese population policy has resulted in 400 million fewer births since 1979, with a population that now stands at 1.3 billion. The lower birth rate converts to a reduction of 1.8 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, Ms. Zhao said.
But critics contend it has not only interfered with reproductive choice, but contributed to high levels of female infanticide and abortions.
For his part, Mr. O’Neill said he was not advocating any particular policy, although he noted that global surveys suggest there is a vast, unmet demand for family planning, and just making contraception universally available on a voluntary basis would drive down the birth rate.
