【科技試閱】空中吸碳抗暖化
在許多人看來,透過吸收空氣中的二氧化碳來阻止全球變暖,是一個愚不可及的想法。它實現起來複雜不說,還需要耗費大量能源。何不首先全力防止更多溫室氣體進入大氣層,比如多用太陽能和風能呢?
2019年12月初,史丹福大學工程學教授雅各布森(Mark Jacobson)接受以色列報紙《國土報》(Haaretz)採訪的時候說,碳捕獲會讓人失望而回。一些批評人士甚至認為,「直接空氣捕獲」(DAC)二氧化碳是一種「洗綠」,意思是,給骯髒的碳氫化合物製造業務披上環保的外衣。他們指出,雪佛龍(Chevron)、埃克森美孚(Exxon Mobil)和西方石油公司(Occidental Petroleum)的參與,是為了利用捕獲的二氧化碳提高油田的採收率。
然而,企業試圖設法證明,DAC技術的成本夠低,能夠很快加以廣泛應用。美國物理學會(American Physical Society)2011年發表了一份有影響力的研究報告,它估計,採用一種領先 的辦法捕獲一噸二氧化碳需要550美元。但在2018年,哈佛大學應用物理學家基思(David Keith)等人在《焦耳》雜誌(Joule)上發表了一篇文章,解釋了如何用便宜的現成組件,以每噸94美元到232美元的價格做到這一點。
現在,基思在加拿大卑詩省史戈米殊(Squamish)創立的碳工程公司,正在努力將這些設想變成現實。它準備建造一座工廠,每年從大氣中清除100萬噸二氧化碳。該公司在2019年9月份宣布了這個「百萬噸計劃」,幾個月後,又改口目標是每年50萬噸。
這是化學與時間的賽跑。2015年,美國全國研究委員會(National Research Council)發表了一 份報告,估計DAC技術可能需要30年時間,才能實現每年清除10億噸二氧化碳的水平,而且可能永遠不會達到每年100億噸的水平。相比之下,根據英國石油公司《世界能源統計年鑑2019 》的數據,2018年全球石油、天然氣和煤炭的燃燒產生了約340億噸二氧化碳。——Peter Coy;譯 杜然

coy意思 在 玳瑚師父 Master Dai Hu Facebook 的最讚貼文
《玳瑚師父的看見(二)》(English version below)
THE SIGHTINGS OF MASTER DAI HU 2
吾,玳瑚師父的看見,嚴格上來講,不單指,當年八方雲遊渡眾生的那一段歲月而已,而是到將來吾返回太虛前的種種看見。因此,這應該會是世間上,最長的「劇本」。(一笑)其實啊!吾撰寫「玳瑚師父的看見」,不是向全世界宣示,吾的那麽一點能力,主旨是告訴眾生,我們一生的成敗榮枯,跟我們的起心動念,有著不可分隔的因果。撰寫這文章,慈悲喜捨於眾生的同時,也警惕自己一定要常在禪定中,不要一失足成千古恨。恨是恨自己,沒有全力以赴的修行。
吾的其中一位門生,介紹她的一位女同事,來詢問吾的專業服務。這位女有情已婚,是位在職的女性,先生是高薪職員,她他倆育有一千金。她及她的千金名字,是由吾應她之請求,重新撰於她母女倆,出類拔萃的吉祥良名。後來我們較熟絡了,她就向吾透露些心事,吾也就傾耳聆聽,並給於她吾真心的慰籍與慧見。事情是這樣的,她的先生到了晚上,某個特定的時間,總是要出門。說實在的,結了婚有妻有女的男人,三更半夜一直往外開溜,在情在理真的較難說得過去啊!紙果然保不住火。原來是跑到別的女人的溫柔鄉也。
吾見她並無下堂求去的執意,就問她信不信風水,她回曰她信,她先生就不怎麼信。她其實也有意思,請吾到其位於黃金地帶的寓所,勘察勘察,看看到底是DNA出錯(一笑),還是陽宅出了差錯。立在她家門口,「還未亮劍」之時,她家裡頭的「不速之客」,即不善之靈,已早準備給吾一點顏色瞧瞧。真感恩傳承偉大,傳承大加持啊!要不然,恐怕吾將會有一段時日,無法服務眾生。在客廳中,吾一眼就得到答案,爲何已擁有美麗性感嬌妻的男人,三更半夜還跑到別的女人的溫柔鄉,且已到了無法自拔的地步。
吾,玳瑚師父,在此奉勸大家:勿將來歷不明的物品,帶回家擺放。在這婦人的客廳,吾看見有「靈氣」的木雕櫥櫃、含情脈脈的女子畫像、裸體打火機,等等。重點就在女子畫像及印有裸體的打火機。難怪吾在門口時,已覺察到屋內的邪氣。這屋子的男主人,淫念大動而迎來更多的邪氣,慾火焚身以外,更犯了淫戒,即邪淫也。據吾所知,犯邪淫不及時懺悔還淨者,死後會進入傍生(禽獸門),轉世成飛禽走獸,如:鳥、雞、豬、狗等等。五百劫後出生爲下等人,如:妓女、婢女、賤命之人等等。邪淫所生子女,也較容易沖犯。至於那些畫淫畫的人,未離世福田已削盡,死後或入蛆糞地獄,身臭無比,肚餓食蛆蟲,皮破血流、肚脹蛆出、全身腐爛而死。正心正念太重要了。
.....................
Strictly speaking, my sightings are not just from my past years of travelling in eight directions delivering sentient beings. It also encompasses what I see in the future before I return to the Ultimate Void. Thus, this should be the world's longest script! (laughs) Actually, I wrote this "The Sightings of Master Dai Hu" not to declare to the world that I have this little power. The main objective is to tell sentient beings that the rise and fall in our fortunes are karmically inseparable with our every thought and intention. When I wrote this article, it is out of compassion to benefit all sentient beings, as well as to remind myself to be always in a meditative state, and not take a wrong step only to end in eternal regret. Regret that I did not give my best effort in my spiritual cultivation.
One of my disciples recommended her colleague to engage my professional services. This lady colleague of hers was a working married woman. Her husband was a high-salaried employee. They had a daughter. I acceded to her request to give new outstanding and auspicious Chinese names for herself and her daughter. As we got to know each other better, she confided some of her worries in me. I lent her my listening ear, and provided her with my genuine consolation and wisdom.
This was what happened. She told me that her husband always left the house at a certain timing in the night. Frankly speaking, it is inappropriate for a married man with a daughter to always slip out of the house in the middle of the night. No matter what, it was indeed hard to justify such behaviour! Alas, paper cannot wrap up fire. The truth was the husband sought comfort in the tender arms of another woman.
I saw that she did not want to give up on her marriage, hence I asked if she believed in Feng Shui. She said yes, but not her husband. She actually had the intention to invite me to audit the Feng Shui of a residence in a high-valued area. She wished to know if there was something wrong with the DNA (haha!) or the Feng Shui of her house.
As I stood at the entrance of her house, before I could pull out my "treasured sword", the "unwanted guests" in her house, a.k.a. evil spirits, had long prepared to show me their displeasure. I am truly grateful to the great linage empowerment of my noble Root Guru! If not, I would be out of service for quite some time. In the living room, I immediately saw the answer why a man with a beautiful and sexy wife would go out late at night to seek comfort in another woman's arms, and the situation had became Inextricable.
Master Dai Hu wishes to advise everyone: Do not bring any object of unknown origin home. In this lady's house, I saw a wooden wardrobe with active energies, drawings of coy female figures, a lighter with a nude lady, etc. The items of significance were the drawing of women and the lighter with the nude figurine. It was no wonder I sensed an air of negative energies when I was at the door. The man of this house allowed his lust to grow, attracting more negative and evil energies. The fire of lust consumed him, and he broke the precept and committed sexual misconduct.
From what I know, a person who commits sexual misconduct and does not repent for it to resume his/her purity in time will be reborn into the realm of animals, like birds, chickens, pigs, dogs, etc, for the next 500 rebirths. After which, he or she will return to the human realm as a person of lowly status, such as a prostitute, a maid, a wretched person etc. Children borne out of sexual misconduct are more prone to vile energy clashes. As for those who produce books with sexual contents, their merits would have already been slashed even before their death, and upon dying, they may enter Hell and suffer the fate of foul-smelling body, with only maggots to eat when hungry, have broken and bleeding skins, bloating stomach bursting with maggots, and finally dying from a fully rotten body. Having the Right Intention and Right Thought is indeed extremely important.

coy意思 在 [單字] 撒嬌- 看板Eng-Class - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
要問的字詞:(中英皆可)
「撒嬌」有沒有一個單字可以表達?
提問:
「撒嬌」跟「孝順」這個詞一樣,一直很困擾我,
大概是文化背景的關係吧,有些詞語真的不容易被翻譯到信雅達兼具的程度。 ˊˋ
我想到比較接近的幾個字只有coy、wheedle之類的,但好像都沒有很貼切;
(而且coy有負面的意思,總覺得失去了一些本意。)
長一點的翻譯可能就類似"show a puppy face",
但是還是想知道有沒有比較精準的單字可以一語中的?
感謝各位的指教~ :)
