Our Earth’s Future:
The Arctic from a Global Perspective

为什么在北极变化对世界其他地区的重要吗?
Why Are Changes in the Arctic Important for the Rest of the World?

此篇文章旨北极地区正在改变和变化正在加速，水平利率并没被现代人类或至少有800000年人类的祖先经历过，且很可能数百万年的人类。
The Arctic region is changing and the changes are accelerating at rates and levels that has not been experienced by modern humankind or humankind’s ancestors for at least 800,000 years, and quite possibly for millions of years.

此文章发出警讯，地球作为一个整体北正在2以-3倍迅速的变暖。
The Arctic is warming 2-3 times as rapidly as the Earth as a whole.

它长期被视为一个非主流社会议题。然而，此文章和人们已经经历了气侯暖化显著的现实-北极气温升高,冰川融化,工业扩充发展的活动,和可能被开发的丰富自然资源地区。
It has long been viewed as a wilderness detached from mainstream societies. However, the Arctic and its peoples are already experiencing realities from climate change — significantly warmer temperatures, melting ice, increased industrial activities, and the possible development of the region’s rich natural resources.

所有这些具有全球意义影响中纬度天气,全球性海平面上升,日益开放的可能性北冰洋航运、旅游邮轮和游船、自然资源开发和,已经比以往任何时候都更往北级移动的渔业。
All of these have global implications affecting weather in the mid-latitudes, sea level rise around the planet, the likelihood of an increasingly open Arctic Ocean for shipping, tourist cruise ships, natural resource development, and a fishing industry that is already moving further north than ever before.

相互作用和反馈之间的后果评估于北半球和北极地区气候变化、生态系统、人类健康、经济和资源发展和社会，级有可能实质上影响北极国家、欧洲、北美和其他的星球。
The consequences of interactions and feedbacks between regions of the northern hemisphere and the Arctic on climate change, ecosystems, human health, economic and resource development, and societies have the potential to substantively effect the Arctic countries, much of Europe, North America and the rest of the planet.
