In contrast to this the environmental crisis is of an accumulative nature. It is just not clearly understandable and the intricate pattern of the interaction of all factors that makes it so hazardous. For no single action taken, or decision made, can bring about an immediate catastrophe nor could there be the last step that would set in motion an avalanche of irrevocable and immediate events leading to the ultimate doomsday. lt is only step by step that we approach the critical point.

В отличие от этого экологический кризис носит накопительный характер. Это просто непонятный и запутанный образец взаимодействия всех факторов, которые делают его таким опасным. Ни одно совершенное действие или принятое решение не может привести к немедленной катастрофе, и при этом не может быть последнего шага, который привел бы в движение лавину безвозвратных и незамедлительных событий, ведущих к окончательному концу света. Мы лишь шаг за шагом приближаемся к критической точке.

1.It is only step by step that we approach the critical point – Мы лишь шаг за шагом приближаемся к критической точке.

2.It is this very intervention that has landed him in this highly technological world of ours – Именно это вмешательство привело его в наш высокотехнологичный мир.

1. One of the causes of the current situation with our environment should be searched in the lack of development of particular fields of knowledge.

2. The discrepancy between the rate of progress in particular fields and our fundamental knowledge of the general operation of the Earth appears to be the cause of most of today's problems.

False 1. It is this very intervention that has landed him in this highly technological world of ours, with the rate of progress in particular fields being faster than that in our fundamental knowledge of the general operation of the Earth.

True 2. The situation with our environment has long become a subject of joint research of scientists from different fields who have to combine their wisdom and information from still other domains, with experts in sociology, psychology. philosophy hurriedly coming into the picture.

1. As scientific and technological progress continues (and this process is irreversible) it demands an increasingly cleaner environment.

Поскольку научно-технический прогресс продолжается (и этот процесс необратим), он требует все более чистой окружающей среды.

2. Whereas in the factory, we can in some way limit the effect of an aggressive, eroding environment by insulation, ventilation, filters and air-conditioning, once leaving the workshop we are attacked by the aggressive environment of any large city.

Принимая во внимание, что на заводе мы можем каким-то образом ограничить воздействие агрессивной, разрушающей окружающей среды с помощью изоляции, вентиляции, фильтров и кондиционирования воздуха, когда мы покидаем мастерскую, на нас нападает агрессивная среда любого большого города.

1. Why can't an individual scientist describe the environmental situation? An individual scientist can’t describe the environmental situation as it has long become a subject of joint research of scientists from different fields who have to combine their wisdom and information from still other domains.

2. What is a demanding problem man has to cope with at the beginning of the 21 st century?
