以抗击全球变暖之名否定孟加拉国的能源利益意味着我们要求孟加拉人为避免23美分的全球气候损失而放弃100美元的发展好处 — — 而孟加拉国的能源短缺所致GDP损失约为0.5 % ， 约有2，100万人每天仅靠不到1.25美元生活。
Denying Bangladesh this benefit in the name of combating global warming means to focus on avoiding 23 cents of global climate costs for every $100 of development benefits we ask Bangladeshis to forgo – and this in a country where energy shortages cost an estimated 0.5% of GDP, and around 21 million people survive on less than $1.25 per day.
