有充分的理由推迟积极的减排，如节约成本，碳循环的特点，以及国际机构建设。反对推迟雄心勃勃的减排计划也有同样合理的理由，比如刺激技术进步、代际公平和气候变化的影响。目前的知识状况不允许明确地选择其中一个选项。然而，没有什么理由不减少排放，不开发新技术，不建立国际机构。
There are sound arguments for postponing aggressive emission reduction, such as cost savings, characteristics of the carbon cycle, and international institution building. There are equally sound arguments against postponing ambitious emission abatement, such as the stimulation of technological progress, intergenerational equity, and the impacts of climate change. The current state of knowledge does not allow for an unambiguous preference of one option over the other. However, there is little reason for not reducing emissions, not developing new technologies, and not building international institutions.
