40、 substances to grow rapidly,turning the water green.This massive growth of algae leads to pollution.When the algae die,they are brokendown by the action of the bacteria,which quickly multiply,using up all the oxygen inthe water and therefore causing the death of fish.Second,industrial waste.Factorie

48、2.5 billion.However,Chinas carbon emission reduction target cannot be achieved easily.Theshift to a low-carbon economy might be met at a cost to society.For instance,morethan 400,000 people were laid off as a result of the shutdown of small coal-firedpower plants in the past four years.Many studies
