近年來，全球很多地區，不是冬天非常冷，就是夏天超級熱，極端氣候現象頻傳，主要原因，就是人類的碳排放量過高，導致全球暖化。聯合國新發佈的報告指出，每人每年的碳排放量，要低於2噸，但台灣每人碳排放量卻是11.3噸，氣象專家警告，如果不趕緊減碳，未來氣候極端現象更嚴重。
氣候暖化造成全球極端氣候，氣象專家指出，台灣也出現氣候異常的跡象。

其實梅雨在台灣，過去早變成沒有雨了，所以梅雨季對於台灣其實這幾年，用水調度都會造成很大影響
聯合國政府間氣候變遷專門委員會，發佈第五份氣候變遷報告，指出2000年到2010年，每年人為溫室氣體排放，空前的增加中。
氣候專家警告，再不減少碳排放量，全球均溫，會繼續升高。

看看台灣的情況，你們每年每人大約排放11.3公噸的二氧化碳，我希望台灣能承諾
在2050年前將排放量降到低於2公噸。
英國氣候變遷專家大衛金恩，特別指出台灣目前的碳排放量，遠遠超過全球減碳目標的5倍，氣象專家警告，如果到2030年前沒有控制的話，到時候暖化現象將會越來越嚴重。
A new UN report on climate change highlights the need for significant greenhouse gas emission reductions to reduce the impact of climate change. Following this report, a British expert commenting on Taiwan said that per capita emissions will have to be cut by more than 80 percent by 2050.
Climate change, and the extreme weather events it brings, is apparent in Taiwan.

Plum rains in Taiwan have already become a time of no rain. Over the past few years, the lack of rain during this season has had a major impact on water use adjustments.
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently released its Fifth Assessment Report on climate change. It said that between 2000 and 2010, there were unprecedented increases in manmade greenhouse gas emissions.
British climate change expert David King said that without action in Taiwan and elsewhere, global warming will continue.

If we look at the situation here in Taiwan, you are emitting around 11.3 tons of carbon dioxide per person per annum. I would want to see that Taiwan commits itself to reduce its emissions to 2 tons or less by 2050.
Taiwan’s per capita carbon dioxide emissions are currently more than five times the global goal. King says if improvements are not seen on a global scale by 2030, the warming that is taking place will become grave.
