Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but—regardless of whether it is or isn’t—we won’t do much about it. We will

argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.

Al Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don’t know enough to relieve global warming, and—without major technological breakthroughs—we can’t do much about it.

From 2003 to 2050, the world’s population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. But that’s too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the world’s poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone else’s living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050.

No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show they’re “doing something.” Consider the Kyoto Protocol(京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn’t. But it hasn’t reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories (签字国)didn’t adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets.

The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it.

The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it’s really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don’t solve the engineering problem, we’re helpless.

In the psychologist’s room, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my surprise, it was the same score.

Later that evening, I told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we

agreed that we knew our son much better than an IQ test. We decided that Michael’s score must have been a mistake and we should treat him naturally as usual.

We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got good grades in the school, especially in biology and chemistry, which was a great Comfort.

Michael entered Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student. Soon afterwards, his teacher permitted him to take more courses than required. In 1968, he was accepted by the School of Medicine, Yale University.

On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I attended the ceremony at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the lowest IQ score that he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say jokingly, “My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldn’t be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school!” It is his special way of thanking us for the faith we had in him.

Interestingly, Michael then asked for another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had received the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be impossible.

Children often do as well as what adults, especially parents and teachers, expect of them. That is, tell a child he is “ stupid”, and he may play the role of a foolish child.

正确答案: √ 我的答案: √

Every motorist dreams of a car of the future that does not have to be refueled every few hundred miles, a car that will cost little to run because there is no outlay on petrol.

“Of course”, you hear it said by an optimistic motorist, “the answer is the atom. Harness atomic power in a car, and you’ll have no more worries about petrol. The thing will run for years without a refill.”

And, theoretically, he is right. The answer is the atom. If atomic power could be used in a car, one small piece of uranium would keep the engine running for twenty or more years. Of course, this would cut the cost of running a car by quite a few hundred pounds, depending upon how much you spend on petrol.

But is this science-fiction-like picture of the atom exploding peacefully beneath the bonnet of a car possible? In theory it is, since already the atom has harnessed to drive submarines, and an atomic engine is already in existence. But, say the experts, there are many problems still to be conquered before such an engine can in fact be fixed into a car.

Now what exactly are these problems that stand between you and a car that you will never have to refuel? Frankly, most of them can be summed up in one word---radiation. An atomic reactor, the kind of engine that would produce energy by atom-splitting, throws off radiation, extremely dangerous radiation. These rays are just as dangerous as when they are released from an atomic bomb. This radiation penetrates anything except the thickest concrete and lead, with fatal results for anybody in its path. Thus, at the moment, any car carrying an atomic engine would also have to carry many tons of lead in order to prevent the radiation from escaping.

Since a car made up of lead is rather impracticable, the only answer at the moment seems to be the discovery or invention of a metal that will be strong enough to hold in the rays, but at the same time light for a vehicle to carry, with ease and economy. Most likely this metal would have to be synthetic, since no natal except lead has yet proved fit for the job. When this light metal is invented, the motoring world will on the way to an atomic car. However, even after the invention of a protective but light metal, two other problems still remain, those of economics and safety.

It is extremely doubtful whether at the beginning a really economic engine could be made, that is, one cheap enough to make it worth putting in a car. But it seems safe

to say that eventually, as technology and mass production come in atomic engines, the price will go down. This is basic economics, and manufactures should eventually be able something that will at least be cheaper than having to pay for petrol during the lifetime of the car.

But then this third problem still remains, that of safety. Suppose that there is a road accident involving one, or perhaps two, atomic cars, and that the atomic reactor or its protective covering were damaged. Any explosion would be equal to that of a very small atomic bomb. The effects of such an explosion would be felt for several miles around. As will be realized, this is perhaps the biggest problem of all to overcome. Is it possible to make an atomic engine that will be really safe in every circumstance?
