问题     Cities in the American states of California, Washington and Massachusetts are considering bans or limits on the use of natural gas in homes and buildings. The bans, if approved, could affect heating systems in large buildings and even cooking stoves in homes.
    In July, Berkeley, California, became the first U.S. city to pass a law banning gas systems in new buildings. Reuters news agency spoke with local officials, activists and industry groups about the issue. They told Reuters other cities may soon do the same. Los Angeles and Seattle are among the cities considering laws that could cut natural gas use.
    Local officials and environmentalists point to evidence that gas leaking from pipes and other places hurts the climate more than carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide gas is released when carbon-based fuels are burned. Carbon dioxide is considered a heat-trapping gas that causes the Earth’s atmosphere to warm.
选项
答案 美国加利福尼亚州、华盛顿州和马萨诸塞州的城市正在考虑禁止或限制在住宅和建筑内使用天然气。如果获得批准，该禁令可能会影响大型建筑物的供暖系统，甚至家庭中的炉灶。 今年7月，加利福尼亚州的伯克利成为美国第一个通过禁止新建筑安装燃气系统的法律的城市。路透社就此问题采访了当地官员、活动人士和行业团体。他们告诉路透社，其他城市可能很快也会这样做。洛杉矾和西雅图等城市正在考虑制定减少天然气使用的法律。 当地官员和环保人士指出，有证据表明，从管道和其他地方泄漏的燃气对气候的危害超过二氧化碳。碳基燃料燃烧会释放二氧化碳气体。二氧化碳被认为是一种吸收热量的气体并因此会导致地球大气变暖。
