Slash and burn is when forests and vegetation is cut down and burnt to provide clear land for crops. This doesn't cause, but contributes to global warming. Destroying and burning vegetation releases carbon into the atmosphere. Removed trees can no longer remove carbon dioxide from the air.

Do immigrants cause global warming?
All humans are causing global warming if they drive cars and use electricity, because most of our cars burn fossil fuel, and most of our electricity is generated by burning fossil fuel. All this burning puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which is causing global warming.
Why should we go against packaging?
We should go against packaging because if packaging is not biodegradable then we have to burn it which causes CO2. CO2 gasses cause global warming.
Which factories lead to global warming?
Factories and power plants that burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) to generate electricity emit carbon dioxide (CO2) which is causing global warming. Any other factories that use electricity or burn fossil fuel also contribute to the warming of the earth.
What led humans to burn fossil fuels?
They discovered coal could burn longer than wood. They used it to drive steam engines which could power vehicles and factories. At that time nobody knew about carbon dioxide emissions and how they cause global warming.
What are some inventions that cause global warming?
They, in themselves, do not slow global warming. What optimistically happens is that since they are more efficient, then the need for producing more electrical energy is reduced, and that is what may slow down global warming.

Why is slash and burn called slash and burn?
when people cut down trees it is called slash and when they burn the leftover it is called burn when you combine slash and burn it is slash and burn.
What happens when you burn to many fossil fules?
(Such as coal) You release carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere, and that is claimed to cause global warming (greenhouse effect).
Why is global warming to harmful?
Since the Co2 is eating up the ozone it lets in dangerous rays that cause cancer, forest-fires, burn crops etc.
What organism on Earth contributes most to global warming?
The organism contributing most to global warming is, unfortunately, man. When we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity we are seriously adding to global warming.
What is the link between global warming and carbon usage?
The more Fossil Fuels we burn the more carbon we produce and that basically means Global Warming is going to get more out of hand.
How has global warming affected pandas?
Global warming it self as not as tress need CO2, but the fact that wood is need to burn is a large part of endangering pandas. (habitat distruction)

How long has global warming hit Earth?
We know now that global warming started in the Industrial Revolution, more than 200 years ago, when we discovered and started to burn fossil fuels, which released carbon dioxide (CO2). This is one of the greenhouse gases that are causing global warming.
Why is global warming high?
Because we continue to burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Is biomass safe or deadly?
Safe enough. You have to burn it in a power plant, but it doesn't add to global warming.
