what is global warming and how is it made worse by deforestation?

Question

any help would be appreciated=)

Answer 1

Global warming is the general warming of the earth and water. It is caused by excessive production of gases like carbon dioxide produced by industry, motor vehicles and wood and coal burning.Trees help reducing the amount of carbon dioxide that escapes into the atmosphere by feeding on it in the daylight to make food for themselves. The gases in earth's atmosphere act as shields to prevent heat escaping into the outer space and thus heat up the earth.

Answer 2

A recent study found that forest the the northern parts of the world actually contribute to global warming by trapping the heat. This causes ground tempatures to remain higher than they would if there were not trees. Also the snow that would be on the surface if there were no trees helps reflect the suns rays back away from the earth, instead the trees absorb all this heat and keep it on the surface contributing to global warming. This is not made up this is from a recent study. You think Algore will put this in his movie.

Oh and that guy that said the rainforest are the earths lungs is stupid. The earth gets most of it's O2 from the ocean and plankton. We could cut down everytree on earth and there would be enough oxygen to breath.

Answer 3

Global warming is the warming of the planet by the green house effect, Its the CO2 trapped, which reflects the sun heat into space therefore earth heats up. Deforestation, firstly limits trees which absorb the co2 and gives out o2. Some say the Amazon is the earths lungs.therefore less trees to take the co2 for photosynthesis more co2in the atmosphere. Secondly the lack of trees prevents the absorption of water by soil. Therefore soil turns into desert in time. Therefore water rises in rivers and the flooding. Global warming if not stopped temperatures will rise and extreme weathers will occur.My Human biology teacher said if not stopped humans will die in a biblical scale.

Answer 4

'Global Warming' refers to an environmental state which is too warm for the environment to stay at the level all mammals have adjusted to. Deforestation takes away the trees that help to keep carbon dioxide from inhabiting the air and causing climate change.

Answer 5

Global Warming is a lie perpetrated by governments to charge the common man more illicit taxes. The holes in the ozone layer above the earth are caused by USA rockets into outer space every month to build their spacestaion.

However, deforestation in South America means that less trees to absorb CO2 during the day and emitting oxygen at night. Also the Gulf Stream used to flow up the Atlantic passed Ireland and UK but now appears to flow straight up to the Arctic cause Ice to melt and the seas to rise.

All this because of the USA's greed for hardwoods are the trees in South America being chopped.

Answer 6

Global warming is the theory that the Earth is getting warmer, through the emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Deforestation makes it worse because trees turn carbon dioxide into oxygen.

Answer 7

Global warming is the cause of the greenhouse effect. Deforestation destroys trees, which suck in carbon dioxide.

Answer 8

Global warming is exactly what it implies - the earth warming up. This is caused my numerous green house gasses when they are put into the atmosphere. One of the leading causes is carbon dioxide. Trees store carbon dioxide. When they are cut down, all that carbon dioxide inside them, that they were storing, is released into the air. This is not good, because the more carbon there is, the more global warming. global warming = big bad major problme.

Answer 9

watch PBS they talk about global warming a lot. it's a scary scenario that does not look so good for mankind. however the more we know about what to do and not to do the better we will be later. it's maybe not to late if humans can change. and to start we must find alternative fuels. and leaving the rainforest intact and planting more trees alll over the place. newer cities are moving towards more green spaces where plants are encouraged rather than pavement.

Answer 10

Global warming means the planet is heating up. The icebergs and the snow at the north and south poles are melting. The sudden change in global warming causes very wet and windy weather. you could google your search for any information you may required.
