Best Answer

Plants reduce carbon dioxide, because they absorb carbon and release oxygen. Yes, they help reduce global warming, because excess carbon dioxide emissions increase the green house effect and global warming.

Plants in total consume a small percentage of the carbon dioxide, a known minor contributor to global warming.

The bottom line is that plants are a small carbon sink.

How do plants increase global warming?

Plants don't increase global warming. In fact, they do the opposite.Plants, trees and all vegetation reduce the effect of global warming by removing from the atmosphere these gases like carbon dioxide and storing the carbon in their trunks and branches. They help to reduce global warming.

Why is the hole in the ozone layer an unlikely cause of global warming?

Ozone hole allows the UV rays to enter the earth which get hit by the planktons in the sea. They die as they come in contact with the radiations and since they are the ones reducing the global warming, the absence of these increases the global warming.

What effect do you think reducing the amounts of fossil fuels that are burned would have on acid rain and global warming?

reducing the amounts of fossil fuels is a good thing and it will help slow down the progress of global warming. Acid rain will not happen as much as it does now. But if we stop using fossil fuels and stop releasing greenhouse gases into the air. We could stop acid rain and global warming altogether. In conclusion, the more you reduce, the less acid rain and global warming.
