研究：全球半數冰川預料將在2100年前消失
【摘要2023-01-17二.自由】◎魏國金
Half of the Earth’s glaciers, notably
smaller ones, are destined to disappear by the end of the century because of
climate change, but limiting global warming could save others, according to a
new study.
地球上半數冰川，尤其是較小的冰川，因氣候變遷，注定在本世紀結束前消失，但限制全球暖化可能挽救其他冰川，一份新研究顯示。
The study looked at the impact of four
scenarios on glaciers, where global mean temperature change is 1.5 degrees Celsius,
2C, 3C and 4C.
該研究檢視4種境況對冰川的衝擊，當中全球平均溫度的變化是攝氏1.5度、2度、3度與4度。
Even if global temperature rise is limited
to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels －
the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement －
the researchers estimated that 49 percent of the world’s glaciers would vanish
by the year 2100.
即使將全球溫度的上升限制在高於工業化前水準的攝氏1.5度—巴黎協定最野心勃勃的目標—研究人員估計49％全球冰川將在2100年之前消失。
Global mean temperature is currently
estimated to be increasing by 2.7C which would result in a near-complete loss
of glaciers in Central Europe, Western Canada and the continental United States
and New Zealand.
全球平均溫度目前估計上升攝氏2.7度，這將導致中歐、加拿大西部與美國大陸與紐西蘭的冰山幾乎消失殆盡。

For larger places, like Disney theme parks
or Six Flags amusement parks, there is a different selling method. Each
amusement park will look for what is selling well. Once they find that, they
will look for similar things to sell at that location. These items might be
costly, but someone will buy them. Other places go in the opposite direction.
One museum in Maryland in the USA sells three items for only NT$8. This means
that customers get a lot of value for their money, which can be memorable, too.
在比較大的地方，像迪士尼主題公園或六旗樂園，有不同的銷售方式。每個樂園都會尋找賣得好的商品。一旦他們找到了，就會在那個地點販售類似的東西。這些物品可能要價不斐，但總有人會買它們。其他地方則是反其道而行。在美國馬里蘭州的一座博物館，三樣物品只要價新臺幣八元。這意味著顧客買的東西物超所值，也能成為令人難忘的回憶。

opposite a. 相反的
