在《財富》（Fortune）的頭腦風(fēng)暴能源大會上，投資者杰里米?格蘭瑟姆對與會者表示，人類如今要為了下個世紀(jì)的生存“策馬狂奔”。

本周一，這位77歲的資金經(jīng)理在加利福尼亞州卡爾斯巴德的會場表示：“人類已經(jīng)存在了約30萬年，農(nóng)業(yè)也有1.2萬年的歷史。但現(xiàn)在這100年來，整個游戲已經(jīng)快到尾聲了。”他說這不只是氣候變暖的問題，但氣候變暖加速了這個過程。

格蘭瑟姆表示，對于用科技解決能源問題，他比大多數(shù)環(huán)境專家要樂觀得多，但對于在不斷變化的氣候狀況下養(yǎng)活全球迅速增長的人口，他比大多數(shù)科技專家要悲觀得多?！皟扇喝硕嫉凸懒撕孟⒑蛪南?。”所以，他表示：“這就是一場賽馬?！?/p>

Investor Jeremy Grantham told participants at Fortune’s Brainstorm E conference that mankind is now in the “race of our lives” to survive the next century.

“We’ve been around for 300,000 years. We’ve had agriculture for 12,000 years,” the 77-year-old money manager said on Monday in Carlsbad, Calif. “Yet we’ve come down to just 100 years where the whole game is playing out.” He said it’s not just that the climate is warming, but that climate warming is accelerating.

Grantham says he is far more optimistic about technology’s ability to solve energy problems than most environmentalists. But he is also far more pessimistic about the ability to feed a rapidly growing global population, given changing climate patterns, than most technologists. “Both groups underestimate the good news or the bad news.” As a result, he said, “it’s going to be quite a horse race.”

Asked by Fortune Editor Brian O’Keefe who would win, Grantham replied: “It’s fifty-fifty.”
