家园 14个国家打破高温纪律

在Bonn 跟谈判。真是有点烦了, 外交大战,口是心非。 和科学,如何解决问题关系很遥远。人性的悲哀。

In a private conversation, one key negotiator said "politics is hopeless. If we don't get controlled nuclear fusion in 50 years, humanity is doomed." Then I told him, "in 1950s, physicists said that we were 50 years away from fusion; today they say we are 50-100 years away from it. So don't count on it."
