Some say that if we had known how serious acid rain was, we would have planned better to prevent it.【C5】______, all agree that if the consumption of fossil fuel were reduced, we would have less of a problem. Another【C6】______ is that special scrubbers could be installed in smokestacks to remove a good【C7】______ of the pollutants before they get into the atmosphere.
