When I was about eight years old, I first heard about something called climate change or global warming.Apparently,that was something humans have created by our way of living.
在我大约八岁的时候，我第一次听到所谓的气候变迁或全球变暖。很显然，成因是人类的生活方式。

00:15
I was told to turn off the lights to save energyand to recycle paper to save resources.I remember thinking that it was very strange that humans, who are an animal species among others,could be capable of changing the earth's climate.
我被告知要随手滚灯以节约能源，并回收纸类以节省资源。我记得当时我觉得这好奇怪，人类----作为许多物种之一却有能力改变地球的气候。

00:37
Because if we were,and if it was really happening,we wouldn't be talking about anything else.As soon as you'd turn on the TV,everything would be about that.
因为如果我们能做到，如果这种事情真的在发生，我们就不会去谈论其他事情了。一打开电视看到的应该通通都是相关节目。

00:50
Headlines, radio, newspapers,you would never read or hear about anything else,as if there was a world war going on.But no one ever talked about it.
头条、广播、报纸，你不应该会读到或听到其他事，就好像有场世界大战正在发生。但都没有人在谈这件事。

01:03
If burning fossil fuels was so bad that it threatened our very existence,how could we just continue like before?Why were there no restrictions?Why wasn't it made illegal?
如果燃烧化石燃料这么不好，以至于威胁到我们的生存，我们怎能持续以前的做法？为什么没有限制？为什么没有把它归为非法行为？

01:20
To me, that did not add up.It was too unreal.So when I was 11, I became ill.I fell into depression,I stopped talking,and I stopped eating.
对我来说，这实在不合理，太不真实了。十一岁时，我生病了，我陷入忧伤，我不再说话了，也不吃东西了。

01:37
In two months,I lost about 10 kilos of weight.Later on, I was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome,OCD and selective mutism.That basically means I only speak when I think it's necessary.Now is one of those moment.
两个月后，我瘦掉了十公斤。之后，我被诊断出阿斯伯格综合症、强迫症，以及选择性缄默症。基本上，意思就是说，我只会在我认为有必要说话时才会说。像现在就是必要的时刻之一。

02:05
For those of us who are on the spectrum,almost everything is black or white.We aren't very good at lying,and we usually don't enjoy participating in this social game that the rest of you seem so fond of.
对于我们这些在自闭症中成长的人来说，几乎一切都是非黑即白。我们不太擅长说谎，我们通常不太享受参与社交活动，虽然在座的各位似乎乐在其中。

02:20
I think in many ways that we autistic are the normal ones,and the rest of the people are pretty strange,especially when it comes to the sustainability crisis,where everyone keeps saying climate change is an existential threat and the most important issue of all,and yet they just carry on like before.
我想，在许多层面上，我们这些自闭症患者才是正常的，其他人都十分奇怪，特别是涉及永续性危机议题时，大家都一直说气候变迁是持续存在的威胁，且是议题中最最重要的，但他们还是一切照旧。

02:41
I don't understand that,because if the emissions have to stop,then we must stop the emissions.To me that is black or white.There are no gray areas when it comes to survival.
我不理解，因为如果排放必须要停止，那我们就必须要停止。对我来说非黑即白。当牵涉到生存时，就没有灰色地带。

02:54
Either we go on as a civilization or we don't.We have to change.Rich countries like Sweden need to start reducing emissions by at least 15 percent every year.
我们的文明要么延续下去要么不。我们必须改变。富有的国家，像瑞典，必须要开始减少排放，至少每年减少15%。

03:10
And that is so that we can stay below a two-degree warming target.Yet, as the IPCC have recently demonstrated,aiming instead for 1.5 degrees *would significantly reduce the climate impacts.
这样我们才能维持在两度的暖化目标之内。但，若是政府间气候变化专门委员会近期指出，把目标摄氏1.5度，就可以大大降低气候的冲击。

03:25
But we can only imagine what that means for reducing emissions.You would think the media and every one of our leaders would be talking about nothing else,but they never even mention it.
但我们只会想减少排放的意义是什么。你会以为，媒体和每一位领导人都应该谈这个议题不谈别的，然而他们甚至连提都没提到它。

03:38
Nor does anyone ever mention the greenhouse gases already locked in the system.Nor that air pollution is hiding a warming so that when we stop burning fossil fuels,we already have an extra level of warming perhaps as high as 0.5 to 1.1 degrees *.
也没有任何人在谈已经困在系统中的温室气体。也没有人提到空气污染掩饰了暖化，导致当我们停止燃烧化石燃料时，暖化现象其实其实已经又上升了一些，也许高达摄氏0.5-1.1度。
