A shared future on a warming planet在气候变暖的星球上，我们拥有共同的未来
In recent weeks, climate-related disasters have again reminded us how closely connected our lives have become. Malaysia and much of Southeast Asia are confronting the effects of a strengthening El Niño, with hotter and drier conditions increasing pressure on water supplies, agriculture and public health. In Sarawak, Serian was placed under a state of emergency after hazardous haze pushed air pollution to extreme levels. Across the South China Sea, torrential rain from Typhoon Saudel caused severe flooding in Fujian, while in the Himalayas, a catastrophic glacier collapse triggered devastating floods along the Nepal-China border
In recent weeks, climate-related disasters have again reminded us how closely connected our lives have become. Malaysia and much of Southeast Asia are confronting the effects of a strengthening El Niño, with hotter and drier conditions increasing pressure on water supplies, agriculture and public health. In Sarawak, Serian was placed under a state of emergency after hazardous haze pushed air pollution to extreme levels. Across the South China Sea, torrential rain from Typhoon Saudel caused severe flooding in Fujian, while in the Himalayas, a catastrophic glacier collapse triggered devastating floods along the Nepal-China border.
These events are different in nature, and no single disaster should automatically be attributed to climate change. Yet together they point to a wider reality: a warming planet is changing the conditions in which extreme weather, drought, floods, wildfires and glacial hazards occur.

Respect Mother Nature: How climate change and travel intertwine
近几周来，气候相关灾害再次提醒我们，我们的生活联系得多么紧密。马来西亚和东南亚大部分地区正面临厄尔尼诺现象增强的影响，气温升高、气候干燥加剧，给水资源供应、农业和公共卫生带来更大压力。在沙捞越，西连地区因有害雾霾导致空气污染达到极高水平而宣布进入紧急状态。在南海对岸，台风“沙德尔”带来的暴雨导致福建省发生严重洪灾；而在喜马拉雅山脉，一场灾难性的冰川崩塌引发了尼泊尔-中国边境沿线的毁灭性洪水。
这些事件性质各异，任何单一灾害都不应自动归咎于气候变化。然而，它们共同指向一个更广泛的现实：全球变暖正在改变极端天气、干旱、洪水、野火和冰川灾害发生的条件。
