How does the rainforest effect global warming?

Answer 1

A:The Amazon Rain forest is a massive carbon sink. In normal years this rainforest absorbs almost 2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide. During the drought year of 2005 many trees died, releasing almost 3 billion tonnes of CO2. This 5 billion tonnes lost is more than the annual emissions of Europe and Japan combined. So the Amazon rainforest has a vital role to play in absorbing carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas.

Answer 2

The rainforest keeps a lot of the carbon dioxide in it. This helps control global warming.

If the rainforest was to be burnt down, global warming would go higher. But if you dont burn the rainfroest it wont be as high.

Answer 3

If u cut down trees, carbon dioxide from it is being released into the air. Carbon dioxide is also know as greenhouse gases, and greenhouse gases are the main cause to warming up the earth. Also, thr are less trees to exchange used carbon dioxide

Answer 4

because the rain forest temperature goes up making it to hot for the animals there

Answer 5

Rainforests do no cause global warming. In fact, the opposite is true. Rainforests reduce global warming by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Answer 6

Burning the rainforests releases more carbon dioxide which captures radiated heat in the atmosphere, leading to higher temperatures (more global warming).

Answer 7

Trees and rainforests remove vast quantities of Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. They store the carbon and release oxygen. This eases global warming and climate change.

Answer 8

it affects climate change by keeping it as cool as possible with south america being so close to the equator (an imaginary line in the middle of the earth
