Yes, to some extent, because forests sequester carbon so that it does not enter the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. The widespread deforestation of recent decades has been a small but significant contributor to global warming.

If the sun is the cause of global warming how can we prevent it?

The sun provides the heat, but the cause of global warming is greenhouse gases that we have been building up in the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. We also cut down the great forests of the world that used to remove carbon dioxide from the air. We can prevent it by changing to renewable energy and replanting the forests.


Do rain forests affect global warming?

Yes, rain forests play a crucial role in mitigating global warming. They act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Deforestation and degradation of rain forests contribute to global warming by releasing stored carbon and reducing the forest's ability to absorb CO2.


Does the sun prevent global warming?

No, the sun does not prevent global warming. It provides the heat originally, and we add the extra greenhouse gases to capture more of it, causing global warming.


What are the global problems of clearing forests and increased gas emissions from factories and motor vehicles?

The main global problems of clearing forests and increased gas emissions are global warming and acid rain. The clearing of forests means additional carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, causing global warming. Increased gas emissions also contribute to global warming and acid rain.
