你的句子是倒装句。原因是“only+条件状语”被放在了句首。如果不倒装应该是:

We can have the hope to reduce their “speed, severity and harm” only if we discuss the consequences of our biophysical limits, the December warning letter says.

又如:

Only if the red light comes on is there any danger to employees. 只要红灯一亮,就表示有危及职工的险情。

Only if a teacher has given permission is a student allowed to leave the room. 学生只有得到老师的许可才能离开教室。

Only by shouting was he able to make himself heard. 他只有叫喊才能让别人听到他。

Only when the war was over could he go on studying. 只是在战争结束后他才得以继续学习。
