Increasing CO2 could take us back to scorching Paleogene period, say scientists
科學家表示節節高升的CO2濃度可能會將地球帶回炎熱的古代氣候

Heatwave temperatures similar to those that set the UK sizzling this summer could become normal by the end of the century if carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere continue to rise, say scientists.
科學家表示，如果在大氣中二氧化碳的濃度持續攀升，像現在英國所面臨的酷暑及高溫，到了本世紀結束前就會成為每天都有的常態氣候。

A new study predicts that without action to curb greenhouse gas emissions the climate of Western Europe could revert back to what it was 50 million years ago.
一項新的研究顯示，在沒有採取任何行動來抑制溫室氣體排放的情況下，西歐的氣候可能會變回五千萬年前的樣貌。

At that time, during the Paleogene period, average annual land temperatures soared to between 23C and 29C.
在五千萬年前的古近紀，全球陸地的平均溫度是上升到攝氏23至29度之間。

Weather conditions were hot, steamy and tropical.
當時的氣候狀況是炎熱，蒸氣繚繞，以及熱帶性的。

Professor Rich Pancost, one of the researchers from the University of Bristol, said: “Our work adds to the evidence for a very hot climate under potential end-of-century carbon dioxide levels.
Rich Pancost教授是布里斯托大學的其中一位研究人員，他表示，「我們所做的研究更加證明在本世紀末的潛在二氧化碳濃度影響下，有更高的可能性會出現極端炎熱氣候。」

“Importantly, we also study how the Earth system responded to that warmth. For example, this and other hot time periods were associated with evidence for arid conditions and extreme rainfall events.”
「而我們研究地球會如何因應這般炎熱氣候的預測也是同等地重要。舉例來說，這一些炎熱的期間，也有證據指向它們與乾旱或暴雨狀況的連結。」

The scientists studied fossil microbes in ancient peat to estimate land temperature 50 million years ago.
這些科學家們也研究了在在古代泥炭化石中的微生物來估測五千萬年前的陸地氣溫。

They found that annual land temperatures in Western Europe, as well as New Zealand, were significantly higher than previously thought.
結果他們發現在西歐，還有紐西蘭，在古代的陸地均溫比之前所想像的要高出很多。

Study leader Dr. David Naafs, from the University of Bristol’s School of Earth Sciences, said: “We know that the early Paleogene was characterized by a greenhouse climate with elevated carbon dioxide levels.
首席研究員，來自布里斯托大學地球科學院的David Naafs博士，指出「我們現在知道早期的古近紀是因為升高的二氧化碳濃度而產生了顯著的溫室氣體氣候。」

“Most of the existing estimates of temperatures from this period are from the ocean, not the land. What this study attempts to answer is exactly how warm it got on land during this period.”
「大部分在現存對於古近紀的溫度推估都是來自於海洋而非陸地區域。我們現在的研究就是企圖要找出這個時期陸地究竟可以有多溫暖的答案。」

The findings appear in the journal Nature Geoscience.
這些研究的結果登載於《自然地球科學》期刊上。

Next the researchers want to investigate the effect of Paleogene heat in the tropics.
接下來研究人員們想要調查古近紀時期的熱能在熱帶地區的影響力。

Dr. Naafs said: “Did the tropics, for example, become ecological dead zones because temperatures in excess of 40C were too high for most forms of life to survive?
Dr. Naafs表示，「因為在當時該區域中超過攝氏40度的高溫對大多數的生物來說都難以存活，所以在古近紀時的熱帶地區，是否可稱為生態滅絕的區域呢？」

“Some climate models suggest this, but we currently lack critical data.”
他繼續指出，「有些氣候模型有暗示這樣的情況，不過目前我們還缺乏決定性的資料來佐證。」

我是Steven將軍,今天冒著可能被PAGANI原廠列為車主黑名單的風險,來告訴大家一個全球第一篇Huayra的抱怨文~
一個全球車評都不會或不敢寫的抱怨文~
但因為我不是谷阿莫,所以只能用寫的(中英文都有).

曾經是我要以登陸月球的心態入主的夢想,卻讓我覺得真正登陸月球後,才發現到原來在月球漫步是那麼的不便!!
PAGANI風神看似藝術,也的確是藝術.
但也因為就是藝術,這台車有著獨立小廠才有的問題:資源不足.
這資源不足看似簡單,但所延伸的問題卻真的很多且嚴重~
所以,就讓我一一道來吧~
首先,這台車有許多設計上的不合理之處.

內裝
1.車門遙控器採用10多年前的老式版本,既不靈敏,又容易當機.
舉例來說,你必須固定一公尺的距離,在車門旁的固定位置,按下之後等個3秒鐘以上才有反應.
其次,久沒使用,設定的對接訊號會跑掉就必須重新設定.
2.安全帶的設計位置過於後方偏低,不見得適合大部分的東方人,因為它會勒住你的脖子.

動力
1.風神的電池式採乾電池式,很容易沒電.
好笑的是,你不鎖門不使用防盜系統,放個5天它也會自動沒電,所以必須隨時充電.
但問題是,我們這個風神的設計天兵並沒有將充電插座設計在車外(如山豬),而是車內.
這不打緊,原廠給你的充電器又不是智慧型的自充式,而是充電一次必須再手動重新再按一次的笨設計.
2.變速箱的設計是一大敗筆,因為它完全沒有考慮這是要掛牌在路上的車子,不是只有適合在賽道上.
變速箱因為是使用老式的SMG單組自手牌,雖說是為了減輕那變速箱的重量,但其產生更嚴重的是:頓挫非常+非常嚴重.
嚴重到即使是減速或慢速起步時,整台車會因離合器過笨而前後跳躍頓挫.
3.會爆衝,尤其是倒檔時,會因為稍補油門而整台突然補油過多造成退衝.
4.這是整台車最嚴重之處,會熄火~
(全台灣的風神都會熄火,我的風神狀況已經算是最OK的了)
大部分是發生在慢速起步或減速退檔時,這個問題,個人猜測應該是變速箱的離合器接觸不良.
老式SMG單組離合器在油門補油不夠多時,整台車就是容易熄火.
這很困擾,因為補多了衝出去,補少了,車動不了又熄火.
要知道,現在是2015年,不是2005年.
都甚麼年代還在用這種老式SMG離合器,莫名其妙~

售後服務
PAGANI的售後服務相當差也相當糟糕.
1.原廠叫不動,感覺像射後不理!!
舉例來說:光是遙控器的重新設定,就前後花了半年;除了原廠不正面直接處理之外,亞洲地區由香港團隊也不知要和誰聯繫!!
然而,台灣的新代理也沒有專屬保養廠,維修還得去別人的保養廠,很好笑吧~
2.亞洲地區由香港團隊服務,但所有的團隊只有5人,卻要服務全亞洲.
3.所以既使安排了也是要等到天荒地老.
4.既使發現問題,負責全亞洲的香港團隊也只能插完電腦截取資訊之後回報義大利,之後呢??就此沒消沒息.
例如剛才說的充電器,說要給個新型的車外充電式,結果快1個月了,連個影子也沒有~

開這台風神,說真的,越開越是辛苦,反觀P1,動力+變速箱既人性又科技.這就是風神,大家心目中的車界女神~
你若問我這車好嗎??
應該說擺在家裡比較好~
名符其實的:趴家裡~

PS:以我個人的經驗,原廠在設計和整合系統上有嚴重疏忽.
首先,風神根本不應該使用SMG自手排.
減輕重量只是藉口,試問, P1背了個大電池,變速箱更是雙組自手排離合器,但重量有重很多嗎??沒有!!也是1300多Kg.
其次,SMG自手排變速箱的軟體和引擎ECU軟體的搭配上也應該有問題!!

總之,PAGANI在軟體整合上很有問題~
----------------------------------------------------------
Once the dream like landed on the moon tobuy Pagani Huayra, but when I landed on the moon to realize walking on the moonwas such tough than I thought.
Pagani Huayra is an artwork and it isreally an art. Just because this is an artwork and it companion withindependent workshop general problem: lack of supporting resource. It seems asimple problem but it has been spreading to lots of serious defects… Let medescribe those and the first one comes from designing (unreasonable design).

Interior
1.Door remote controller usingold-school method; less sensitivity and high frequency crash. For example: The driverneeds to reach less than 1 meter, aim to specific point/area and await at least 3seconds the door remote controller worktable. Meanwhile when the remotecontroller connecting with long interval all the signal need to reboot again.

2.Seat belt
The position ofseat belt is partial rear and down-low than driver could easy reaching. Thisdesign would cause high potential reined in the neck when the owners/driversare eastern people.

Power
1.Battery: Huayra is using dry cell method. You could see such this kind ofcar is not a daily using car. When Huayra is parking in the parking lot morethan five days it will fully out of reserving electronic power. So; the ownerneeds to re-charging in every moment. But the question is why you didn’t designan external plug-in (like Bugatti Veyron) but internal rechargeable. The ownerand also doesn’t understand why you offer self-filling charger but not intelligence.When the battery has been full your charger will disconnect but the batterystill consumption the electricity by itself and your charger will not automaticrecharging again. It means, this charger only recharge by once till someone putthe charging bottom again; this is quite stupid charger and not intelligence.
2.Transmission: I think the worstdesign in Huayra is transmission. As my understanding this design just orientedfrom track design but no general traffic situation included. Because thistransmission is using SMG and also consider reducing weight, but it generatedtoo much uncoordinated cadences. This abnormal experience occurred indecelerating and slow start. When it happened whole transmission leading wholecar serious jumping cadence.
3.Violent conflict: Especially inreverse gear; when I add-on a little bit of acceleration in reverse gear thecar will violent conflict.
4.Flameout: This is a serioussafety issue on Huayra. I have been acknowledged all Huayra in Taiwan got thisproblem (my Huayra is a minimum of occurrence one). Most of this situationhappened in decelerating shift down or slow start. I believe this problemoccurred in disconnect in transmission. When the accelerating not enough beforethe shift down it occurred the flameout in vintage SMG design. It bothers thedriver; accelerating too much the car pushes out but shortage leading flameout.Pls be realistic, this is 2015 not in 2005 this kind of vintage SMG design doesnot meet the requirement of this times.

After Service
1.Invalid service ability from ItalyHDQ. For example; Just door remote controller reboot it caused over more than 6months. HDQ disable and also Asian region Hong Kongagent keep silence, no one acknowledges who takes in charge of this simplyreboot.
2.Hong Kong service team just 5 team members included and these people take incharge whole Asia Pagani’s service responsibility. Five people whole Asia?
3.Even I appointed the afterservice; it comes over waiting and waiting and further waiting…
4.OK~ until the service membershow up I saw the service process just link up and downloading the defect codesform computer and told me: we need to feedback to Italy HDQ and await the responseand….. continuously waiting. Someonetold me will provide me a new external intelligence charger; then; I waitingone month and no response.
5.You/Pagani have had a new distributor/agentin Taiwanbut there is no specific service location and the owner needs to go to othersservice plant to make the after service and this is quite strange.

I’m the owner of Pagani Huayra; if I needto make the statement of driving experience is increasingly hard. Pagani Huayrashould be goddess of the car industry, but contrast to McLaren P1 shortagebalance of humanity and technology.
If you ask me how good of Pagani Huayra? Iwould answer you it would be better parking in the parking lot for staticartwork. It is totally artwork.
For my personal suggestion andrecommendation of Huayra; system integration got serious negligence. First ofall Huayra should not be using SMG system. Cutting weight just an excuse.However, McLaren carry on a huge battery module and also automated manualtransmission system but the total weight not comes to heavier. Secondly; thesoftware of SMG and ECU communication got serious defect and it leading wholesystem unbalance. The software integration should be a major problem.

[美國大學最知名的畢業致詞 This is water]

看了新聞 發現美國高中生80秒對美國教育的批評被傳遍

也被翻譯了

然而這篇也同樣熱門 甚至更有意義的卻被忽視了

所以筆者決定自己把字幕找出來 一句一句翻給大家看

希望能對學弟妹有些幫助 看完能有些想法 順便練英文囉XD

如果對這系列有興趣 喜歡的話 還請幫忙分享出去

花了快一個多小時翻譯= =||| 不過可能翻的也沒有很好

日後筆者會翻譯更多篇好影片過來

There are these two young fish swimming along
有兩隻年輕的魚正在悠游

And they happen to meet an older fish swimming the otherway
他們碰巧遇到了一隻老魚

Who nods at them and says morning boys how's thewater?
老魚向他們點頭說:早阿 今天的水如何?

And the two young fish swim on for a bit and eventually
One of them looks over at the other and goes
What the hell is water?

這兩隻魚又游了一下 最終其中一隻說 什麼是水?


The point of the fish story is merely that the most obvious
Important realities are often the ones that are hardest

魚的故事是在指出一個明確 重要的事實 也同時是最困難的


To see and talk about Stated as an english sentence of course is just a banal platitude

如果只是去探討英文上的句子 顯然只是一個平庸的老生常談

But the fact is that in the day to day trenches of adult existence
Banal platitudes can have a life or death importance

然而事實是 在一天一天如打戰般的成人生活

平庸的老生常談經常有生或死的重要性

The plain fact is that you graduating seniors Do not yet have any clue What day in day out really means

事實是 當妳從高中畢業 你不會知道真正的生活意義是什麼

There happen to be whole large parts of adult
American life That nobody talks about in commencement speeches

這發生在大部分美國成年人的生活中 沒有人開始在演講中談論這個

One such part involves boredom routine and petty frustration

其中很大一部分是無聊 重複的生活 和非常大的挫折

The parents and older folks here will know all too well what I'm talking about

在這裡的父母和比較老的成年人會非常清楚我在講些什麼

By way of example let's say it's an average adult day

舉例而言 讓我們看看現在成年人的生活

And you get up in the morning Go to your challenging white collar college
graduate job

你早上起床 去面對充滿挑戰性的白領生涯

And you work hard for eight or ten hours And at the end of the day you're tired and stressed

你工作非常辛苦 每天八到十小時 到了一天的盡頭 你累癱了 而且充滿了壓力


And all you want is to go home and have good supper And maybe unwind for an hour and then hit the sack early Because of course you have to get up the next25.day and do it all again But then you remember there's no food at home

你唯一想做的就是回家 吃一頓豐盛的晚餐 也許 放鬆個幾個小時

或直接倒到床上

因為 理所當然的 你明天也得重複一遍

但你忽然想起家裡沒有食物了

You haven't had time to shop this week because of your challenging job
And so now after work you have to get in your car and drive to the supermarket

因為妳充滿挑戰性的工作 這一周你都沒有時間去採買

所以現在 在下班後你必須開車去超級市場

It's the end of the work day and the traffic is apt to be very bad

在一天工作的結束 交通通常非常糟糕

So getting to the store takes way longer than it should

所以你去店裡的時間 也比一般需要花的長

And when you finally get there the supermarket is very crowded

當你終於到了超級市場 卻需要面對人潮洶湧

Because of course it's the time of day when all the other people with jobs
Also try to squeeze in some grocery shopping But you can't just get in and quickly out

因為 理所當然的 不只你 其他有工作的人也需要擠出一點時間來採買

所以你不無法迅速的採買就離開

You have to wander all over the huge over lit store's confusing aisles

你需要在巨大令人困惑 琳瑯滿目的商品走到中困惑

To find the stuff you want and you have to maneuver your junky cart

去找到你真正需要 可以放進你品質很糟的購物車中

Through all these other tired hurried people with carts

還得和別人搶購物車

Et cetera et cetera cutting stuff out because this is a long ceremony

等等等等 這是一個漫長的儀式

And eventually you get all your supper supplies Except now it turns out there aren't enough check-out lanes open

最終你買到你的晚餐 然而卻發現沒有足夠的櫃台是開的

So the checkout line is incredibly long which is stupid and infuriating

所以隊伍排得不可思議的長 這是愚蠢而且氣死人的事情

But you can't take your frustration out on the frantic lady working the register

但你無法將你的挫折與怒氣 發洩在結帳小姐身上

Who is overworked at a job whose daily tedium and meaninglessness

尤其他們的生活已經是需要過度的工作 整天單調無聊又沒意義

Surpasses the imagination of any of us here at a prestigious college

勝於任何在座 就讀於名校的學生

But anyway you finally get to the checkout line's front

總之 無論如何 你最終到了隊伍前面

And you pay for your food and you get told to Have a nice day

你為你的食物付了錢 並得到了一句 祝你有個愉快的一天

In a voice that is the absolute voice of death Then you have to take your creepy flimsy plastic bags of groceries

這句話適用無聊死氣沉沉的聲音說出來的

然後你得提者你笨重 脆弱的塑膠袋

And then you have to drive all the way home
through Slow heavy SUV-intensive rush-hour traffic

然後你還得開車回家 在交通尖峰時刻


et cetera et cetera Everyone here has done this of course

等等等等 在座的每一個人 都做過類似的事情

But it hasn't yet been part of you graduates actual life routine
Day after week after month after year But it will be
但這還沒成為你畢業後 每一天 每一周 每一月 真正的生活 但總有一天會


And many more dreary annoying seemingly meaningless routines besides

還有更多無聊 沒意義的生活行程

But that is not the point The point is that petty frustrating crap like
this Is exactly where the work of choosing is gonna come in

但這不是重點 重點是在這挫折的鳥事 正是選擇來臨的時候

Because the traffic jams and crowded aisles and long checkout lines

因為在嚴重的塞車 和壅擠的隊伍中

Give me time to think and if I don't makea conscious decision About how to think and what to pay attention

給了我們時間去思考 如果我們不去做一個有知覺的決定

關於我們要如何去集中注意力去思考

I'm gonna be pissed and miserable every time

我們將會生氣 悲慘的度過每一天

I have to shop Because my natural default setting is the
certainty That situations like this are really all about

我必須要去採買 因為天生設定的的缺陷


me About my hungriness and my fatigue and my
desire to just get home

這關於我的慾望 我的想要 我想要直接回家休息


And it's going to seem for all the world like
everybody else is just in my way And who are all these people in my way?

所以這讓整個世界看起來 其他人只是在擋我的路

And look at how repulsive most of them are And how stupid and cow-like and dead-eyed

看看他們多令人厭惡 又笨有者母牛般的死眼睛

And nonhuman they seem in the checkout line Or at how annoying and rude it is that people

沒有人比排在你前面的人更煩更粗魯的了

Are talking loudly on cell phones in the middle of the line

他們拿者手機講話大聲 完全不顧旁人感受

If I choose to think this way in a store and on the freeway

如果我選擇在店裡 在高速公路上 這樣去思考

Fine lots of us do Except thinking this way tends to be so easy

當然可以 大部分的我們都是這樣去思考的 因為這樣想很容易

and automatic That it doesn't have to be a choice

這是很自動的 好似我們並沒有選擇

It is my natural default setting It's the automatic way that I experience

這是我們的天生設置缺陷 這是來自我經驗很自動的事情

The boring frustrating crowded parts of adult life

無聊又令人挫折的成人生活

That I am the center of the world And that my immediate needs and feelings
Are what should determine the world�s priorities The thing is that of course there are totally different ways To think about these kinds of situations

我是世界的中心，而我的眼前有需要和感受

應該確定什麼世界上優先考慮的事情

當然也有完全不同的方式來思考這些種情況

In this traffic all these vehicles stopped and idling in my way

在這個交通所有這些車輛停了下來，用我的方式空轉

It's not impossible that some of these people in SUV's

這不是不可能的，有些開者SUV的人

Have been in horrible auto accidents in the past

曾遇過可怕的交通意外

And now find driving so terrifying that their therapist

以至於認為開車事非常恐懼的 只能尋求治療師的協助

Has all but ordered them to get a huge heavy SUV

所以命令他們去開巨大 又笨重的suv休旅車

So they can feel safe enough to drive Or I can choose to force myself to consider
the likelihood That everyone else in the supermarkets checkout
line Is just as bored and frustrated as I am

所以，他們可以感到安全，或者我可以選擇強迫自己考慮
一種的可能性，其他人在超市結帳時也是一樣的無聊和沮喪
我也是那個讓人感到生氣的人


And that some of these people probably have much harder

甚至有些人有更困難的情況

More tedious and painful lives than I do Again please don't think that I'm giving you moral advice Or that I'm saying you are supposed to think

他們可能有更無聊 單調 痛苦的生活

再次提醒 不要我在給你們道德上的建議 或者告訴你們應該怎麼去思考


this way Or that anyone expects you to just automatically
do it Because it's hard

這只是一種對你們能自動去思考ˋ的期待 因為這很難

It takes will and effort and

這需要很大的努力

if you are like me
Some days you won't be able to do it Or you just flat out won't want to

如果妳像我 有些日子你不需要去這樣想 或者單純的你不想要去

But most days if you're aware enough to give yourself a choice

但在大多天 如果你有足夠的意識 給自己一個機會

You can choose to look differently At this fat dead eyed over made up lady
Who just screamed at her kid in the checkout line

你可以選擇在這一個在隊伍中對者他小孩大吼的女胖子 以不同的眼光看待

Maybe she's not usually like this Maybe she's been up three straight nights
holding the hand of a husband who is dying of bone cancer

也許他並不常像這樣 也許他已經很多晚上握者他即將死於骨癌丈夫的手


Or maybe this very lady is the low wage clerk At the motor vehicle department who just yesterday Helped your spouse resolve a horrific infuriating Red tape problem through some small act of

或者，也許他是低工資的業務員 在機車部門剛好服務了你的太太解決了問題


Of course none of this is likely but it's
also not impossible It just depends what you what to consider

沒有什麼是不可能的 只是看你如何去思考而已


If you're automatically sure that you know what reality is
And you are operating on your default setting Then you like me probably won't consider possibilities

如果妳都自動的腦補 確定你知道什麼是真實

那麼你只是自動執行你天生的缺陷 你不會去思考其他可能性

if you really learn how to think how to
pay attention Then you will know there are other options

如果你真的學者去思考和注意 你將會知道你有其他選項


It will actually be within your power to experience A crowded hot slow consumer hell type situation
As not only meaningful but sacred On fire with the same force that made the
stars Love fellowship the mystical oneness of all

實際上，它會在你的能力範圍內，遇到擁擠的慢熱消費者地獄的情況

This I submit is the freedom of a real education Of learning how to be well adjusted

這是我提出的建議 一個自由 真實的教育 是要學習如何調整自己

You get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn't
That is real freedom that is being educated And understanding how to think

你需要有意識的決定 什麼是有意義的 什麼不是

這是由教育給予的真實的自由 並且去了解該如何思考

The alternative is unconsciousness The default setting the rat race
The constant gnawing sense of having had And lost some infinite thing

另一個選項是無意識的 像實驗老鼠般賽局

持續的啃食者你的意識 失去了一些重要可以無限的事情

I know that this stuff probably doesn't sound fun and breezy
Or grandly inspirational the way a commencement speech

我知道這件事情 可能聽起來不活潑也不有趣
或者是一個鼓舞人心的畢業典禮演講

You are of course free to think of it whatever
you wish But please don't just dismiss it as just some
Finger wagging Doctor Laura sermon None of this stuff is really about morality
or religion or dogma Or big fancy questions of life after death


無論如何 你當然是可以自由思考的

但拜託請不要認為這只是一些花俏 無用的道德或宗教大道理

或者某些死後才需要知道的問題

The capital T Truth is about life before death It is about the real value of a real education

真理是生活在死亡之前 是教育的真正價值

Which has almost nothing to do with knowledge And everything to do with simple awareness

Awareness of what is so real and essential So hidden in plain sight all around us all the time that we have to keep reminding ourselves overand over

這和我們的知識並無相關 這只是很簡單在我們的意識之中

意識什麼是真的並且重要的

並且不斷一遍一變得提醒自己

This is water

這是水
