A database that follows the world's fossil fuel production, reserves, and release of carbon launched on Monday.
一个跟踪世界化石燃料生产、储量和碳排放的数据库于周一启动。
The launch comes out at the same time as two important climate talks happening at the international level.
这个数据库的启动正值两场重要的国际气候谈判举行之际。
One is the climate talks at the United Nation's General Assembly in New York which began on September 13. The other is COP27 in Sharm El Skeikh which begins in November.
一场是发生9月13日在纽约召开的联合国大会上的气候谈判。另一场是11月在沙姆沙伊赫举行的COP27会议。
The database is called The Global Registry of Fossil Fuels.
该数据库被称为全球化石燃料登记处。
It includes data from over 50,000 oil, gas, and coal fields in 89 countries.
它包括来自89个国家的5万多个石油、天然气和煤田的数据。
That covers 75 percent of the world's reserves, production, and release of carbon into the atmosphere.
它覆盖了世界上75%储量、产量和向大气中排放的碳。
And it is available for public use, a first for a collection of this size.
它可供公众使用，这是这种规模的数据收集的第一次。
Until now, there has been private data available for purchase, and research of the world's fossil fuel usage and reserves.
到目前为止，人们可以购买和研究世界化石燃料的使用和储量的私人数据。
The International Energy Agency also keeps public data on oil, gas, and coal.
国际能源机构也有关于石油、天然气和煤炭的公开数据。
But it centers on the demand for those fossil fuels.
但它的核心是对这些化石燃料的需求。
This new database, however, looks at what is yet to be burned.
然而，这个新的数据库着眼于尚未烧毁的东西。
The information could help environmental groups to pressure leaders for stronger policies reducing the amount of carbon they release.
这些信息可以帮助环保组织向领导人施压，要求他们出台更强有力的政策，减少碳排放。
The database was developed by Carbon Tracker.
该数据库是由Carbon Tracker开发的。
It is a nonprofit organization that researches changes in energy use and their effects on financial markets.
这是一个研究能源使用变化及其对金融市场影响的非营利性组织。
Global Energy Monitor also helped develop the database.
全球能源监测组织也帮助开发了该数据库。
It is an organization that follows different energy projects around the world.
这是一个追踪世界各地不同能源项目的组织。
Mark Campanale is a founder of Carbon Tracker.
马克·坎帕内莱是Carbon Tracker的创始人。
He said he hopes the database will empower groups to hold governments accountable.
他说，他希望这个数据库将使各团体能够追究政府的责任。
Campanale said that civil groups need to have more information on what governments are planning to do in terms of giving permits for coal, oil, and gas.
坎帕内莱说，民间团体需要了解更多关于政府计划在发放煤炭、石油和天然气许可证方面做些什么的信息。
He said they need to, "… actually begin to challenge this permitting process." He added that it is very important that the world reduces carbon output.
他说，他们需要，“…实际上开始挑战这一许可程序。”他补充说，全球减少碳排放非常重要。
In the research, Carbon Tracker found that the United States and Russia still have enough underground and unused fossil fuel to go over the world's remaining amount of carbon budget.
在研究中，碳追踪者发现，美国和俄罗斯仍然有足够的地下和未使用的化石燃料，超过世界剩余的碳预算。
The carbon budget is the point at which the world will go over the set amount of 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming.
碳预算是指全球变暖超过设定的1。5摄氏度的临界点。
Campanale said investors and shareholders should be holding the world's largest fossil fuel companies responsible when they approve new fuel mining projects.
坎帕内莱说，当投资者和股东批准新的燃料开采项目时，他们应该让世界上最大的化石燃料公司承担责任。
Campanale said the hope is the investment community will use the data to begin to challenge the investment plans of companies still planning to expand oil, gas, and coal projects.
坎帕内莱表示，希望投资界将利用这些数据开始挑战仍计划扩大油气业务的公司的投资计划。
Rob Jackson is a Stanford University climate scientist who was not involved with the database research.
罗布·杰克逊是斯坦福大学的一名气候科学家，他没有参与数据库研究。
He added, "We already have enough extractable fossil fuels to cook the planet.
他补充说：“我们已经有足够的可提取化石燃料来使地球变暖。
We can't afford to use them all — or almost any of them at this point." I'm Gregory Stachel.
