诺布雷：早在1990年，科学界就已明确警告：为避免灾难性气候影响，全球气温升幅需控制在1℃以 内，这意味着人类必须在2000年前实现净零排放。然而现实却是，全球未能做出有效响应。 科学界发出的最重要警示是在第四次评估报告（2006–2007年）。该报告首次将气候变化定性为可能升 级为"气候紧急状态"的危机，报告撰写者联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）也因此获得诺贝 尔和平奖。尽管科学警示如此清晰，国际社会仍未能采取足够行动，温室气体排放持续攀升。 时至今日，在2023至2025年期间已有21个月全球升温超过1.5°C。我们不仅一再错过关键的行动窗口， 还在不断增加排放。这种集体行动上的严重滞后，或许正是人类作为物种所暴露出的最大认知局限。 记者：今年的破纪录热浪引发广泛关注。你如何评估极端高温对人类健康的影响？各国政府应采取哪些 措施？ 诺布雷：热浪已成为全球气候相关死亡的主要成因，对老年人、婴儿及基础疾病患者等脆弱群体构成尤 为严重的威胁。在人类长达25万年的进化历程中，从未遭遇过如今这般规模的高温挑战。 在巴西科学家卡洛斯·诺布雷（Carlos Nobre）看来，全球气候已逼近不可逆转的临界点。作 ...

Core Viewpoint - The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is set to make a historic decision in October regarding the approval of a "net zero emissions framework," which, if passed, will impose the strictest carbon emission regulations on the global shipping industry [1][2]. Group 1: Net Zero Emissions Framework - The net zero emissions framework, approved by the IMO in April, will be submitted for review in October and is expected to take effect in 2027. It combines mandatory emission limits and greenhouse gas pricing for the entire shipping sector [2][3]. - The framework includes two main components: technical emission reduction requirements based on fuel and market-based economic incentives [2]. - A greenhouse gas fuel intensity (GFI) indicator will be established, requiring ships to control their annual greenhouse gas emissions within set limits [2][3]. Group 2: Financial Implications for Shipping Companies - The framework will impose significant financial burdens on shipping companies, with McKinsey predicting an annual cost increase of approximately $20 billion for the global shipping industry by 2030 due to fuel upgrades and carbon emission costs [3]. - From 2028, ships will need to meet two emission reduction targets annually, with penalties for non-compliance [2]. Group 3: Transition to Alternative Fuels - Major shipping companies are actively pursuing green alternatives, with many setting net zero emissions targets for 2050 or earlier [7]. - The demand for alternative fuel vessels is rising, with a 78% increase in new orders for alternative fuel ships in the first half of 2025 compared to the previous year [7][8]. - Green methanol is gaining traction as a preferred alternative fuel due to its storage and transportation advantages, as well as its alignment with the net zero framework's goals [7][8]. Group 4: Green Methanol Production in China - Maersk has signed a long-term agreement with Goldwind Green Energy Chemical to procure green methanol, with plans to receive 500,000 tons annually starting in 2026 [9]. - The green methanol production process relies on renewable energy and involves multiple steps, including biomass conversion and hydrogen production [10]. - The Goldwind project in Inner Mongolia is expected to produce 250,000 tons of green methanol annually, with plans for expansion to a million-ton production capacity by 2027 [14][15].
