Good morning. What a difference a new job can make. “To have a shot at(有机会尝试做某事) staying within 1.5C global warming, we can’t have any new oil or gasfields … It’s irresponsible and shortsighted(目光短浅的) to be funding new #fossilfuels(化石燃料) when we need to be getting to #NetZero(净零排放).”
早上好。一份新工作能带来多大的变化啊。“要想有机会将全球变暖控制在1.5摄氏度以内，我们就不能再开发新的油气田……在我们需要实现净零排放的时候，资助新的化石燃料项目是不负责任且目光短浅的。”
This was the 2022 message from Miatta Fahnbulleh, now the secretary of state for energy security and net zero. It’s a testament(证明，证据) to her remarkable(非凡的，显著的) rise that Fahnbulleh wasn’t even an MP(议员（议会成员）) when she posted it four years ago. Today, she is in the cabinet, facing (or is the face of, at least) one of the most challenging, and potentially controversial questions looming for the new government: to drill or not to drill(钻探还是不钻探（仿哈姆雷特）), baby?
这是米亚塔·法恩布勒在2022年发出的信息，她现在担任能源安全和净零排放大臣。法恩布勒四年前发布这条信息时甚至还不是议员，这证明了她的非凡崛起。如今，她已进入内阁，面临（或者说至少是代表政府面对）新政府即将面临的最具挑战性、也可能最具争议的问题之一：钻探还是不钻探，宝贝？
Two sites are the focus of fierce debate. Yesterday, a public consultation on whether to greenlight(批准，准许) extraction at one of them – Jackdaw – closed. Next Monday, it’ll be the same for the other, Rosebank. Andy Burnham has been silent about the climate crisis since taking office. As we enter yet another heatwave, what his government does next will be a defining(决定性的，关键的) signal of intent(意图的信号) on the issue.
两个项目成为激烈辩论的焦点。昨天，关于是否批准其中一个项目——Jackdaw——开采的公众咨询已经结束。下周一，另一个项目Rosebank的咨询也将结束。安迪·伯纳姆自上任以来对气候危机一直保持沉默。当我们再次进入热浪天气时，他的政府下一步的行动将成为在这个问题上意图的决定性信号。
