However, there are situations which we do not control.
Some environmental problems are documented as having
natural causes and have occurred repeatedly in the Earth's
history. Several such concerns are global climate change,
acid rain, carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere, geological
disasters, and other natural hazards. Certainly,
humankind may exacerbate these problems, but perhaps
we cannot prevent them.

The earth has been experiencing climate variations for
over 3.5 billion years, resulting in hot and cold periods.
However, we are not altogether certain as to why. Ice cores
in Antarctica and Greenland demonstrate prehistoric periods
with elevated CO 2 content in the atmosphere. In
these same cores, there is also clear evidence for acid
precipitation prior to any human interference in climate
processes. There are several plausible explanations for naturally
recurring atmospheric and climatic variations, in-
Cluding volcanic ash and gaseous emanations; global sea
level change and polar ice melting due to warmer sea
currents; increase or decrease in vegetative cover, natural
grass, and forest fires due to lightening strikes, meteorite
or comet impacts, and, not the least, plate tectonics.

Industrial activity certainly may enhance certain negative
trends, but we may not be able to reverse or alter these
trends, even if the addition of all the CO2 and acidic gases
to the atmosphere instantaneously is halted. We must learn
specifically how to lessen humanity's impact and how to
live with a naturally changing environment.

What then are the appropriate responses? Why would
you or I, or a company, make a decision to contaminate,
for example, a naturally pure water source?--I propose the
answers is either through greed or ignorance in the vastmajority of cases; these are two basic reasons that are
unacceptable to the environmentally aware society. Both
greed and ignorance must be addressed in our educational
systems.

是说明文呀 不好翻 你看看能不能用吧

但是，有些情况是我们无法控制的。一些环境问题和自然原因，也屡屡影响着地球的历史并被记录下来。全球性的气候变化的原因是以下几个方面，酸雨，二氧化碳在大气中的二氧化碳含量，地质灾害和其他自然灾害。当然，人类可能加剧这些问题，但或许我们也无法阻止他们发生。
地球经历了气候变化已经超过3.5亿年，结果是导致了冷期和热期。
但是，我们对为什么会产生这样的结果并不确定。冷的中心在南极和格陵兰岛展示史前时期
升高的二氧化碳在大气中的含量。在这些相同的核心中，也有明确的证据证明在酸
降水之前，人类对气候发展的干扰。有几种可能的解释为自然大气和气候的周期性变化，包括火山灰和气体放射物;全球海平面水平的变化和极地冰川融化，由于温暖的洋流;植被覆盖增加或减少，自然草地，森林火灾因雷击，陨石或彗星撞击，而且，重要的一点，是板块构造。
那么，什么是适当的反应？为什么你，我，或公司，会对污染作出决定，
例如，一个纯天然水源- 我建议答案绝大多数要么是通过贪婪或无知的情况下（不是vastmajority，是vast majority），这有两个基本原因，都是被环保意识的社会所不能接受的。贪婪和无知两方面，我们必须在教育系统中去解决。
