无车之城:到底有什么好处,又有哪些争议
孩子们在主干道上踢足球;游客们若无其事地站在街道中间拍照;从餐馆到小广场人满为患,但看不到一辆汽车、摩托车或公共汽车。 这就是我记忆中的威尼斯,是我去过的唯一没有汽车的城市。学生时代,我和一个朋友在暑假搭顺风车去了那里。那座意大利城市当然独一无二,因为是建在一系列小岛上的,但耳目一新的体验,就是可以在不躲避车流的情况下漫步。 过去100年里,汽车已经逐渐主宰了城市景观。许多城市拓宽了街道以容纳汽车,并留出大量空间供汽车停放。私家车彻底改变了人们的出行方式,但也带来了从空气污染到交通事故等诸多问题。如今,…

气候变化:科学家警告全球面临气候危机
最新一项研究指出,全球正面临气候危机。超过11000名科学家认可这项研究。 这项研究基于40年来的数据,指各国政府都未能解决气候危机。没有持续深层次的改变,全球将面临难以言说的人类苦难。 卫星数据显示,上个月是有记录以来最热的10月。而这项新研究称,仅仅测量全球表层温度不足以描述全球过热的真正危险。所以研究者们囊括了一系列数据,他们认为这些代表了过去40年气候变化的一系列重要指征。 这些指征包括人类和动物数量的增长、人均肉类产量、全球树木覆盖面积的减少及化石燃料消耗。 但一些领域也有进步。例如,可再生能…
