[参考译文]即使温室效应导致气温上升1至2摄氏度,也将会对北美西部的水资源产生巨大影响。对该地区气候进行了模拟研究的科研小组警告说,在21世纪期间,随着气温的逐渐上升,积雪场将大幅度减少,洪水泛滥将更为严重。这是全球气候模拟研究人员第一次如此密切地与具体研究地区性降雪、降雨及河流状况模型的科研小组合作,从而准确预测气候 Even if the greenhouse effect causes temperatures to rise by 1 to 2 degrees Celsius, it will have a huge impact on water resources in western North America. The research team that conducted a simulation study of the region’s climate warned that during the 21st century, with the gradual increase in temperature, the snow field will be greatly reduced, and flooding will be even more serious. This is the first time that global climate simulation researchers have collaborated closely with a research team that specifically studied regional snowfall, rainfall, and river condition models to accurately predict climate
