去读读 Elizabeth Kolbert 的《Under A White Sky》吧，看看历史上那些出发点极好的生态干预是如何屡屡弄巧成拙的，每一次系统的不可预测性和深远复杂性都会被打乱平衡。我……
Read Elizabeth Kolbert’s “Under A White Sky” for a history of how best-intentioned interventions into ecologies have consistently backfired, in each case the unpredictable and far reaching complexity of the system was thrown out of balance. I…
……典型的人类妄图成为神祇的狂妄。我们想要掌控自然和生命，可我们有限的认知却让我们根本无法理解自身行动的深远影响，直到为时已晚。（《Under a White Sky》是关于这个话题的一本很有趣的读物）
…classic hubris of mankind to aspire to become gods. We want to control nature and life, yet our limited knowledge prevents us from understanding the ramifications of our actions until it is too late. (Under a White Sky is an interesting read on the subject)
……崩溃并进一步沿着食物链向上蔓延。抓人游戏，抓到你了，轮到你了。是的，这确实是末日景象。真真切切就是。如果你想甩大部头理论，请先读读《This Changes Everything》，然后再读读《Under a White Sky》。你在非虚构类专区都能找到这两本书。[1] 在你打字反驳之前：没错，通胀和供应链中断都可能是气候变化的症状——具体来说，当两者都是由……引起的……
…unravel to travel further up the food chain. Tag. You're it. And yes, it's apocalyptic. It really, really is. If you want to throw textbooks around, please read _This Changes Everything_.

…agriculture, among the first widely adopted technologies, deprived us of a utopia that we're scrambling to recover with more technology ever since. I call this the Operation Cat Drop problem. See also Under a White Sky.
我可惜忘了在哪儿读到过（可能是 Elizabeth Kolbert 的《Under a White Sky》），但美国确实已经在按吨付钱让人大规模捕杀这些亚洲鲤鱼了（专门找到了关于这点的链接：https://blogs.illinois.edu/view/7362/827782934）。这……
I sadly forgot where I read about it (maybe "Under a White Sky" by Elizabeth Kolbert) but the States do already pay people to mass-cull these Asian carp by the literal ton (found https://blogs.illinois.edu/view/7362/827782934 specifically about this point). It's…
往天上泵硫磺，如果你没法一直泵下去直到二氧化碳吸收核聚变电站救下你的狗命，那可就是个危险的玩火行径了。最近有本书叫：《under a white sky》。
Pumping sulfur up, a dangerous game if you can't keep doing it all the way to the time when CO2 scrubbing fusion plants save your crispy bacon. There is a recent book named: under a white sky.
