The human-caused rise in CO2 hasn't yet reached its full warming effect, owing to the considerable delay in its impact on ocean temperature. There is still another 0.5℃ or so of warming to occur over the coming decades based on the current concentrations（浓度）of CO2 in the atmosphere, and far more warming beyond that if CO2 concentrations continue to rise greatly with the business-as-usual burning of fossil oil. To improve the situation, the world needs to shift firmly from coal, oil and gas to renewable energy by around 2050 and from cutting down trees to planting trees and restoring degraded lands.
So why do human beings keep dashing in a stupid way ahead, toward certain tragedy?
The main reason is that our political institutions and giant corporations intentionally ignore the rising dangers and damage. ___①___ Managing a major company is about maximizing shareholder value, not about telling the truth or avoiding great harm to the planet. Profit-seeking investors own the major media, or at least influence them through their advertising purchases. Thus, a small yet very powerful group keeps the fossil-fuel-based energy system at growing dangers to the rest of humanity today and in the future.
We need a new kind of politics that starts with a clear global goal: environmental safety for the planet's people, by fulfilling the Paris agreement, protecting biodiversity, and cutting pollution, which kills millions each year. ___②___ The new poli tics will listen to scientific and technological experts, not self-interested business leaders and politicians.
___③ __ Such a politics is possible. In fact, the public longs for it. A large majority of the American people, for example, want to fight global warming, stay in the Paris climate
agreement, and support renewable（可更新的）energy. Yet, as long as a narrow and ignorant elite（精英）judges Americans and the rest of human beings to wander aimlessly in the political desert, the more likely it is that we will end up in a wasteland from which there will be no escape. ___④___
（1）The first paragraph implies that ______ .
A the temperature will rise by 0.5℃ if we don't stop burning fossil oil
B the human-caused rise in CO2 has an immediate effect on ocean temperature
C there is no way available to solve the problem of warming effect at present
D worse is to come if no action is taken to reduce the rise in human-caused CO2
（2）"Politics is about obtaining and holding power and the benefits of office, not about solving problems, even life-and-death environmental problems." should be put in ______ .
A ①
B ②
C ③
D ④
（3）The author writes this passage mainly to ______ .
A criticize the ignorance of giant corporations and political institutions
B make an appeal to build a new kind of politics to handle the worsening situation
C call on people to live a low carbon life so that we needn't fight global warming
D analyze the situation and find out the real problem with the worsening environment
（4）What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A What humans can do to avoid suffering from political desert.
B How renewable energy will bring benefit to the American people.
C How giant corporations should respond in face of growing danger to the planet.
D What American political institutions should do for the good of the environment.
