阅读理解:
Fortunately,if the worst comes to the worst2,scientists still have a few tricks up their sleeves3.For the most part they have strongly resisted discussing these options for fear of inviting a sense of complacency that might thwart efforts to tackle the root of the problem.Until now,that is.A growing number of researchers are taking a fresh look at large-scale geoengineering projects that might be used to counteract global warming.I use the analogy of methadone4, says Stephen Schneider,a climate researcher at Stanford University in California who was among the first to draw attention to global warming.If you have a heroin addict,the correct treatment is hospitalization,and a long rehab. But if they absolutely refuse,methadone is better than heroin.
