Forests absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and store the carbon. A company or country emitting CO2 can plant trees to 'offset', or counterbalance their emissions. They may find it cheaper to do this rather than to reduce their emissions. Through afforestation they reduce their carbon footprint, and raise their standing among their peers.

How can afforestation help to reduce global warming?

when afforestation is done the plants grow up and the carbon dioxide is absorbed by the plants that makes the air conservation. During the flood or the landslide if there are lots of trees then there are less chances of landslides as the tree holds the soil and even less chances of flood because the soil sucks the water. Its already mentioned above that the trees hold the soil which leads to soil conservation too.


How does afforestation affect global warming?

Afforestation (planting and growing more forests) will slow global warming, because the trees will remove carbon dioxide from the air, release the oxygen and store the carbon it their roots, trunks, branches and leaves. Removing carbon dioxide like this will slow the enhanced greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming.


What kind of projects would help prevent global warming?

Projects that focus on renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. Reforestation and afforestation projects can also help offset carbon dioxide levels by increasing the Earth's capacity to absorb CO2. Additionally, initiatives that promote sustainable agriculture and transportation practices can also play a significant role in preventing global warming.


Does chlorine prevent global warming?

Do greenhouse gasses help global warming?

They don't help with global warming naturally but the large buildup of greenhouse gases does assist with global warming.

Do you want afforestion?

Yes, afforestation (planting more trees) is the only way we know that humans can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (through photosynthesis). As carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas causing global warming, then afforestation can only be a good thing.

Why earth have a global warming?

There is no such thing as "a global warming" global warming only happens to earth because human and our unruly decrease in the earths resources. HUMANS cause global warming.


Which process helps reduce global warming?

One process that helps reduce global warming is transitioning to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower. These sources generate electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions like fossil fuels do. Additionally, reforestation and afforestation efforts can help absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


Why is afforestation important?

Afforestation is important because it tries to balance the deforestation that has already taken place around the world. Trees are planted where the land is barren so that forests are created. Growing vegetation like forests is the only thing we have that will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so forests reduce the speed of global warming.
