高一英语作文辩论澳大利亚为什么杀死骆驼

 Australia is considering proposals to kill all the wild camels that roam the outback as part of its contribution to fighting global warming。

为抵御全球气候变暖,澳大利亚正考虑接受扑杀所有内陆地区野生骆驼的建议。

The 1.2 million camels, considered pests by farmers and conservationists, each produce a methane equivalent of one ton of carbon dioxide a year。

澳大利亚目前有120万头骆驼,被农民和环保主义者视为害兽。每头骆驼每年排出的甲烷相当于一吨二氧化碳。

That makes them collectively one of the Australia's biggest emitters of greenhouse gases。

因此,这120万头骆驼已成为澳大利亚最大的温室气体排放大军。

But if the government goes ahead, politicians will be braced for a backlash from animal lovers, who are already a powerful voice against annual kangaroo culls。

但如果政府扑杀骆驼,又将受到动物保护者的强烈抵制,每年扑杀袋鼠的活动已经遭到了他们的猛烈抨击。
