IntheUnitedStatesthemodernenvironmentalmovementisrootedina19th-centuryNewEnglandphilosophicalmovementcalledtranscendentalism(超驗(yàn)主義),whoseleadersincludedthepoetandessayistRalphWaldoEmersonandthenaturalistandauthorHenryDavidThoreau.Intheirwritings,bothmenexpressedareverenceforthenaturalworld,believingthathumansandnaturesharedadivinespirit.Emersonassertedthatnaturewaseternalandcapableofrecoveringfrommistreatmentatthehandsofhumans.Thoreau,moreprotectiveandpessimistic,hasbeenquotedassaying,"ThankGod,mencannotyetflyandlaywastetheskyaswellastheearth."

AlthoughEmersonandThoreauwroteeloquentlyaboutthevalueofnatureanditsspiritualimportancetohumans,neitherofthemundertookasystematicanalysisoftheeffectsthathumanshaveontheirenvironment.Thattaskwasleftfor19th-centuryAmericandiplomatGeorgePerkinsMarsh.In1864MarshpublishedManandNature;or,PhysicalGeographyasModifiedbyHumanAction,consideredthefirstbooktodemonstratethathumanactivitycouldcausedramaticandirreversibledamagetoEarth.Marshexplainedhowsomeagriculturalpracticeshadledtodeforestation(采伐森林),lossofwetlands,desertification(theprocessoflandbecomingdesert),speciesextinction,andchangesinweatherpatterns.

12.TheHistoryofChineseAmericans

ChinesehavebeenintheUnitedStatesforalmosttwohundredyears.Infact,theChinesehadbusinessrelationswithHawaiipriortorelationswiththemainlandwhenHawaiiwasnotyetpartoftheUnitedStates.ButUnitedStatesinvestmentscontrolledthecapitalofHawaiiatthattime.In1788,ashipsailedfromGuangzhoutoHawaii.MostofthecrewmenwereChinese.TheywereconsideredthepioneersofHawaii.TheImmigrationCommissionreportedthatthefirstChinesearrivedintheUnitedStatesin1820,eightin1830andsevenhundredandeightyin1850.TheChinesepopulationgraduallyincreasedandreached64,199in1870.

FormanyyearsitwascommonintheUnitedStatestoassociateChineseAmericanswithrestaurantsandlaundries.PeopledidnotrealizethattheChinesehadbeendrivenintotheseoccupationsbytheprejudiceanddiscriminationthatfacedtheminthiscountry.

ThefirstChinesetoreachthemainlandUnitedStatescameduringtheCaliforniaGoldRushof1849.Likemostoftheotherpeoplethere,theyhadcometosearchforgold.Inthatlargelyunoccupiedland,themenstakedaclaimforthemselvesbyplacingmarkersintheground.However,eitherbecausetheChineseweresodifferentfromtheothersorbecausetheyworkedsopatientlythattheysometimessucceededinturningaseeminglyworthlessminingclaimintoaprofitableone,theybecamethescapegoatsoftheirenviouscompetitors.Theywereharassedinmanyways.Oftentheywerepreventedfromworkingtheirclaims;somelocalitiesevenpassedregulationsforbiddingthemtoownclaims.TheChinesethereforestartedtoseekoutotherwaysofearningaliving.Someofthembegantodothelaundryforthewhiteminers;otherssetupsmallrestaurants.(TherewerealmostnowomeninCaliforniainthosedays,andtheChinesefilledarealneedbydoingthis"woman'swork".)Somewenttoworkasfarmhandsorasfishermen.

ThegreenhouseeffecthaswarmedtheEarthforover4billionyears.Nowscientistsaregrowingincreasinglyconcernedthathumanactivitiesmaybemodifyingthisnaturalprocess,withpotentiallydangerousconsequences.SincetheadventoftheIndustrialRevolutioninthe1700s,humanshavedevisedmanyinventionsthatburnfossilfuelssuchascoal,oil,andnaturalgas.Burningthesefossilfuels,aswellasotheractivitiessuchasclearinglandforagricultureorurbansettlements,releasessomeofthesamegasesthattrapheatintheatmosphere,includingcarbondioxide,methane,andnitrousoxide.Theseatmosphericgaseshaverisentolevelshigherthanatanytimeinthelast420,000years.Asthesegasesbuildupintheatmosphere,theytrapmoreheatneartheEarth'ssurface,causingEarth'sclimatetobecomewarmerthanitwouldnaturally.
