what burn coal and oil to produce energy for industrial and consumer use.          【S1】______
Carbon dioxide and other harmful gases releasing into the air from these           【S2】______
sources adversely effect weather patterns and the health of people, animals and    【S3】______
plants.
    Industrialized nations produce most of the world’s air pollution. For          【S4】______

选项
答案 because→although
解析 从上下文看，本句的意思是“美国的人口只占世界人口的5%，却制造出22%的人造二氧化碳……”，前一分句用了“just”一词，和后面形成了强烈的对比，因此这两个分句之间是转折关系，而不是因果关系，前一分句前应该用although引导。
