Progressive Democrats are pushing climate change to Washington’s front burner, and we’re here to break it down for you.
进步的民主党人正在将气候变化推向华盛顿的前沿,我们将在此为您解决这个问题。
The big picture: Addressing climate change can mean very different things to very different people. Here's a visual roadmap to help you quickly understand what’s going on.
大图显示:应对气候变化对于非常不同的人来说意味着非常不同的事情。 这是一个视觉路线图,可帮助您快速了解正在发生的事情。
What addressing climate change requires
应对气候变化需要什么
REALITY CHECK 现实检查
Yes, it is really that simple. But it’s not easy. Don’t confuse the two. On top of this, everyone latches on their other priorities, for better or worse (or both).
是的,真的很简单。 但这并不容易。 不要混淆两者。 除此之外,每个人都会优先考虑其他优先事项,无论是好是坏(或两者兼而有之)。
What addressing climate change means to backers of the Green New Deal
应对气候变化对绿色新政的支持者意味着什么
This is less an acute climate-change plan and more a broad progressive economic plan, which means it’s likely to be a useful 2020 theme for Democrats but unlikely to pass in today’s Congress.
这不是一个急剧的气候变化计划,而是一个广泛的进步经济计划,这意味着它可能成为民主党人有用的2020年主题,但不太可能在今天的国会通过。
What it means to (the few) Republicans who acknowledge climate change is a problem
承认气候变化的(少数)共和党人的意义是一个问题
Not enough Republicans openly acknowledge the problem to make a difference, but past precedent suggests you’ll need them to get anything passed through Congress, so this is a big sticking point.
没有足够的共和党人公开承认这个问题有所作为,但过去的先例表明你需要他们通过国会通过任何事情,所以这是一个很大的问题。
What it means to economists
这对经济学家意味着什么
Economists like to stick to their facts and figures, but politics are sticky too: carbon taxes remain pretty unpopular.
经济学家喜欢坚持他们的事实和数据,但政治也是粘性的:碳税仍然非常不受欢迎。
What it means to President Trump and other Republicans
这对特朗普总统和其他共和党人意味着什么
Not enough Republicans openly acknowledge the problem to make a difference, but past precedent suggests you’ll need them to get anything passed through Congress, so this is a big sticking point.
没有足够的共和党人公开承认这个问题有所作为,但过去的先例表明你需要他们通过国会通过任何事情,所以这是一个很大的问题。
And sure, the government will need to do something additional in any climate-change policy response. The fight is over how big should it get: Green New Deal big, just a little more than we're doing now or somewhere in the middle.
当然,政府需要在任何气候变化政策响应中做一些额外的事情。 这场斗争取决于它应该有多大:绿色新政大,比我们现在或中间的某个地方多一点。
