Australia’s climate has warmed by more than 1.5C since 1910, according to the Bureau of Meteorology(气象局)’s main long-term temperature data(长期温度数据).
根据澳大利亚气象局的主要长期温度数据，自1910年以来，澳大利亚的气候已升温超过1.5摄氏度。
If you were so motivated, you might think if you could discredit(使不可信；败坏名声) this data, then you would undermine(削弱；动摇) the whole climate change story and even – perhaps – the rationale(理由；根本原因) for cutting Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions(温室气体排放).
如果你有此动机，你可能会想：只要能质疑这些数据的可信度，就能动摇整个气候变化叙事，甚至——也许——动摇澳大利亚削减温室气体排放的理由。
Over the past week, The Australian newspaper has launched a major reporting campaign based on a “forensic audit” that attempts to discredit the data, claiming it has found “widespread errors” that raise “questions about the integrity of records used for climate analysis”.(过去一周，《澳大利亚人报》发起了一场大型报道行动，基于一份“法证审计”试图质疑这些数据的可信度，声称发现了“广泛错误”，从而引发“对用于气候分析的记录完整性的质疑”。)
