Landsberg was far from the only established meteorologist bristling at all this new attention given to climate change.

兰茨伯格远不是唯一对所有这些给予气候变化的新关注感到不安的知名气象学家。

Landsberg reviewed the book for the American Geophysical Union, calling it a " wide-ranging potpourri of science, nature and politics" , and " multidisciplinary, as promised, but also very undisciplined" .

兰茨伯格为美国地球物理联盟评论了这本书，称其为 " 科学、自然和政治的大杂烩" ，并且" 如承诺的那样是多学科的，但同时也是非常不严谨的" 。

In contrast, Landsberg had spent a career working carefully with government and the military, generally behind closed doors, and was scared that public involvement might disrupt the delicate balance of this relationship.

相比之下，兰茨伯格在职业生涯中一直小心翼翼地与政府和军队合作，通常是闭门造车，他害怕公众的参与会破坏这种关系的微妙平衡。

Schneider's book drew an especially scathing attack from Helmut Landsberg, who had been director of the Weather Bureau's office of climatology, and was now a well-respected professor at the University of Maryland.

施耐德的书引起了赫尔穆特-兰茨伯格（Helmut Landsberg）特别严厉的攻击，他曾是气象局气候学办公室的主任，现在是马里兰大学备受尊敬的教授。

Landsberg disliked what he saw as an activist spirit in Schneider, believing that climate scientists should stay out of the public spotlight, especially when it came to the uncertainties of climate modelling.

兰茨贝格不喜欢他所看到的施耐德的行动主义精神，认为气候科学家应该置身于公众的聚光灯下，特别是当涉及到气候建模的不确定性时。

He would only endanger the credibility of climatologists, Landsberg worried; much better to stay collecting data to iron out as many uncertainties as possible, only guardedly briefing politicians behind closed doors when absolutely needed.

兰茨贝格担心，他只会危及气候学家的信誉；更好的做法是继续收集数据，以尽可能多地消除不确定性，只有在绝对需要的时候，才小心翼翼地闭门向政治家通报。
