问题     Climate change is the greatest challenge facing humanity: drastic reduction of carbon emissions is vital if we are to avoid a catastrophe that devastates large parts of the world. Governments and businesses have been slow to act and individuals now need to take the lead.
　　The Earth can absorb no more than 3 tones of carbon dioxide emissions each year for every person on the planet if we are to keep temperature and rainfall change within tolerable limits. Yet from cars and holiday flights to household appliances and the food on our plates, Western consumer lifestyles leave each of us responsible for over 12 tones of carbon dioxide a year——four times what the Earth can handle.
　　Individual action is essential if we want to avoid climate chaos. How to Live a Low-Carbon Life shows how easy it is to take responsibility, providing the first comprehensive, one-stop reference guide to calculating your CO2emissions and reducing them to a sustainable 3 tones a year.
选项
答案　　如果我们将温度和降水量变化控制在可承受的范围内，那么地球每年可以为人类吸收不超过3吨的二氧化碳排放。然而，从汽车和假日航班到家用电器和我们盘中的食物，西方消费者的生活方式让我们每个人一年排放超过12吨的二氧化碳——是地球可以处理的4倍。 　　如果我们想避免气候混乱，个人行动是必要的。“如何过低碳生活”节目向我们展示了承担起责任是一件简单易行的事情，向我们提供第一全面的、一站式参考指南来计算二氧化碳排放量并将其减少到一年3吨的可持续的范围之内。
