住在嘉義市的美藉人士丹布隆 [DanBloom]，憂心全球暖化，提出虛擬極地城市構想，陸續引發氣象科學專家共鳴，台大大氣科學系教授許晃雄表示，減緩全球暖化，需要更多有創意的想法與做法，應從改變產業結構、環境與能源政策等方式著手。

從事寫作及美語教學的丹布隆 (Dan Bloom)，一年多前因看到英國氣象科學家 Dr.．James Lovelock預言本世紀人類會因地球暖化大量死亡，且逃到北極求生存，於是構想在靠近北極的地區，建造可供人類生存的地下城市﹁極地城市 (Polar Cities)﹂的構想，並請把極地城市的藍圖做成3D影像，在網路傳播，最近並做成﹁ ["Have Polar Cities, Will Suvive Global Warming" = "If we have polar cities in the future, maybe humans can survive global warming problems by living in polar cities to survive ] ﹂的標語，到各地擺放，提醒民眾關注暖化問題。

長期研究氣候變遷的許晃雄表示，Polar Cities 不見得是空泛不實的，誰也不知道地球環境將會如何變化，所以我們需要更多有創意的想法與做法，及早準備因應。

許晃雄指出，台灣與全球一樣，近30年來的氣溫明顯上升，降雨日明顯減少，以台東成功氣象測站的統計為例，如果降雨日減少的趨勢持續下去，一百年後，降雨天數將減少約90天。

許晃雄認為台灣目前推動節能減碳的方向錯誤，例如環保署說因應國內發展石化工業，要到國外造林減碳來平衡，他認為這是痴人說夢，他認應該從改變源政策與產業結構，來改變人類使用能源與生活型態，例如推動替代能源產業，像太陽能，不但有商機，節能減碳也更具效益。

According to Dan Bloom,


the entire world is warming, and he has proposed that future generations build polar cities in the north to serve a climate chaos lifeboats for survivors of global warming. Some people agree with him others disagree. Dr Hsu at NTU who studies meteorological scientific field shows some sympathy for Bloom's ideas even though he is quick to say that we should not dwell in doom and gloom but instead look for opportunities to build green technologoy so polar cities are never needed.



Professor Hsu Huang xiong told a reporter on Saturday that it is important to try do slow down global

warming, and it's important to have creative ideas like Bloom's ideas to wake people up. But it's important to have a positive view of industrial structures, environment and

energy policy, too.



(Dan Bloom) calls himself an accidental student of British

meteorology scientist Dr. James Lovelock and his prediction this

century humanity the Earth will warm the massive deads, and will run

away to the North Pole strives for the survival, therefore devised

will approach North Pole's area, the construction of polar cities created by artist Deng Cheng-hong may supply the human

survival via(Polar Cities. So Bloom held up a sign that reads "Have Polar Cities, Will Suvive Global Warming" = " If we have polar cities in the future,

maybe humans can survive global warming problems by living in polar

cities to survive]﹂ the slogan, places to each region, reminds the

populace to pay attention to the warming question.



Long-term research

climatic change's Dr Hsu Huangxiong indicated that Polar Cities is not

necessarily unspecific is not solid, nobody knew how the terrestrial

environment will change, therefore we will need to have the creativity

idea and the procedure, will prepare early in accordance. Xu

Huangxiong pointed out that Taiwan and the whole world are the same,

the near for 30 year temperature obvious rise, the rainfall date

reduces obviously, take the Taitung success meteorology survey

station's statistics as an example, if the rainfall date reduces the

tendency continues, 100 years later, the rainfall number of days will

reduce for approximately 90 days.



Xu Huangxiong thought that Taiwan

promotes the energy conservation to reduce the carbon at present the

direction to be wrong, for example the environmental protection bureau

said that in accordance to the domestic development petrochemical

industry, must arrive at the overseas afforestation to reduce the

carbon to be balanced, he thought that this is the moron talks

nonsense, he recognizes should from the change source policy and the

industrial structure, changes the humanity to use the energy and the

life state, for example the impetus energy alternative industry, looks

like the solar energy, not only has the opportunity, the energy

conservation reduces the carbon also to have the benefit.
