READING: Read the following extracts about the environmental problems caused by the business factors. Select the appropriate headlines for them from the list given below:(1) The White House has removed sections of a report by the US Government's own environmental agency to water down references to “Big Enterprise” causing global warming. Climate change "has global consequences for human health and the environment» was changed to "may have potentially profound consequence."(2) "Without being forced to improve fuel economy by the government, the auto business doesn't do it," said Daniel Becker, the top global warming expert for the Sierra Club. "Congress has to require energy savings in the energy bill that comes to the floor next week or the auto business will continue to go in reverse."(3) One of the problems is that the environmental movement is not a monolith. There are lots of different groups with different priorities, that is why making a grand bargain is very hard. The people who care about climate change, for example, might be willing to trade oil drilling in Alaska for better auto mileage standards, but the wildlife types wouldn't hear of it. Because of this, as well as the varying levels of self-righteousness and extremism between and within organizations, it’s hard to develop an overall environmental position. Obviously, the business community has similar problems. But somehow the Republicans, who carry most of the water for business interests, manage to sort that out better than the Dems do for environmentalists.(4) From the beginning, President Bush has been far more interested in exploiting the public lands for commercial purposes than in protecting their environmental values. On matters ranging from snowmobiles in Yellowstone to roadless areas in the national forests, his administration has tried steadily to chip away at safeguards put in place by the Clinton administration — largely in an effort to help the oil, gas, timber and mining industries, and often in cavalier disregard for environmental reviews mandated by law. Now comes another devastating blow: The revelation that his Department of the Interior is no longer interested in recommending any of the millions of acres under its jurisdiction for permanent wilderness protection.(5) The world's eight leading economies have declared they'll make immediate cuts to greenhouse gas emissions. And they've launch a coordinated fight against eco-criminals trafficking in endangered species and hazardous chemicals. Environment ministers from the G8 -- Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States -- say such emissions have to be cut to combat climate change, which they say is the biggest environmental threat. And they've pledged to end ecological crime through better coordinated policies in the eight member countries. The two-day gathering in Leeds Castle in southeast England was organized mainly to discuss ways to meet the 5.2 per cent reduction in emissions of six greenhouse gases by 2008-2012 -- pledged in the Kyoto pact signed in Japan in December.FUEL ECONOMYb) US “CENSORED” GREEN REPORTc) THE END OF WILDERNESSd) ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISMe) G8 NATIONS PLEDGEGREENHOUSE GAS CUTS, WAR ONECO-MAFIA to have something/nothing to do withконтрольныйmonitoring (adj.)специалист по токсикологииto be on smb’s propertyпредставители компании Пи-Джи-энд-Иhexavalent chromiumиметь/не иметь отношение к чему-либоtoxicologistзагрязненный, отравленныйthe guys from PG&Eшестивалентный хромexposureпринадлежать кому-либо8. poisonousзд. воздействиеMOVIE-EXTRACT WATCHING: Pre-watching question: Have you ever heard about any really big company concealing its harmful activity from the public so as it could gain profit by causing damage to the environment?Before you watch pay attention to the words which may be unknown to you and do the matching task:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELzu636Xf6Y Now watch the extract from the Erin Brockovich Movie and fill in the gaps:Victim: An on-site (1) __________ (controlling, monitoring) well?
