28、tting the sectors impact on global warming is bigh on the agenda.Althoughmany governments are regulating emissions from cars and trucks,air transportation is technologically rooted in oldpatterns.Facing the reality that the sector will keep emitting a lot,ICAO has established an international carbon
29、-tradingplanCarbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation,or CORSIA.This encourages wide useof offsets(抵消):aviation companies can buy emissions credits or invest in sectors that store carbon,such asforestry,to allow them to carry on as normal.CORSIA aims to keep CO2emissions at 2
30、019 levels through suchpurchases for emissions over that years baseline.ICAO predicts that increasing demand might reach 1.7 billiontons by 2035,potentially making aviation the largest offset market in the world.Yet offsetting faces a fundamental challenge:the size of the offset requires estimating
31、flows of warmingpollution that would have occurred if the carbon-removal project hadnt existed,and comparing them against flowswith the project in place.The former a baseline that is unobservable is a hotbed for shady accounting.The vast majority of offsets today and in the expected future come from
32、 forest-protection and regrowthprojects.The track record of reliable accounting in these industries is poor,because they lack convincing baselines.Even with oversight,forest projects are often troubled by wild assumptions,for example that trees would disappearcompletely from these areas in the absen
33、ce of those projects,even when there are other forest protections in place.Such assumptions drive up baselines and flood the market with huge volumes of offsets.They make it easier foraccountants to claim a net reduction in emissions even though the atmosphere sees little or no benefit.Theseproblems
34、 are essentially unfixable.Evidence is mounting that offsetting as a strategy for reaching net zero is a deadend.In our view,this approach could prove dangerously narrow.Removing aviations impact on global warmingmeans upending the industry.The longer that reality is overlooked,the harder it will be

38、duced.Lithium(Li)-ion(锂离子)batteries could be out of date in a few years as alternativeslike Li-sulfur,Li-air and Li-metal enter production.Meanwhile,quantum(量子)battery charging promises toreduce charge times from hours to seconds.Scientists at the University of Michigan have produced a stable Li-sul
39、fur battery using Kevlar,the materialused in body armor,to increase the amount it can be charged and discharged.Fibers in the Kevlar stop certain partsof lithium from growing between the electrodes(电极)and destroying the battery.Research group leader NicholasKotov called the design“nearly perfect”in
40、terms of capacity and efficiency.The battery can handle summer heatand winter cold extremes,and in real-world driving conditions,its lifespan should be 1,000 cycles or ten years.Sulfur is a great alternative for EVs because it is a tiny amount of the cost of metals like what is used in Li-ionbattery
41、 electrodes,and there is simply more of it.Mainstream electric cars fitted with its battery could achievearound 900 miles on a single charge.Battery researchers say the Li-sulfur batterys energy density couldtheoretically be 10 times higher than the best Li-ion battery,so it will drive further,be sa

48、Ourancestors likely did not suffer from a lack of companions.Why has loneliness become such a threat?How might itbe addressed?In the distant past,there were few complaints about loneliness.Indeed,every person in a community includingchildren was up to speed on every detail of the lives of everyone e
49、lse.Instead of suffering from loneliness,ourdistant ancestors were oppressed(被压迫)by a lack of privacy.36They facilitate distance.How didloneliness take over contemporary life?Typically,people move away from family and friends for work opportunities.Yet,cities often function asgatherings of relative
