At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the wors

15、t air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. (76) On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing_and automobile traffic. In fact,

16、 the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect“conserving heat reflected from the earth and rais

17、ing the world s average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.(77) Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular ma

18、tter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth s temperaturea result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas. Today we do not

19、know for sure that either of these conditions will happen ( though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world s temperature will stay abo

(78) The publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to split the publishing costs with him, and all she hoped was that it

25、would make enough money for her to buy a new silk dress.But when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852, they sold out in two days.

28、o per haps the book could be considered propaganda.
