Trees and all growing vegetation remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Deforestationmeans destroying the forests of the world, which is what man has done, and is still doing. This means that carbon dioxide is building up in the atmosphere, capturing more and more heat, because there aren't enough trees left to remove the carbon dioxide.

What is man's role in global warming?

Humans are responsible for serious deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Climate scientists agree that this is what is causing global warming and climate change.


What effects does deforestation have on the climate?

Deforestation is a contributor to global warming, and is often cited as one of the major causes of the enhanced greenhouse effect. Tropical deforestation is responsible for approximately 20% of world greenhouse gas emissions

How are deforestation global warming and carbon dioxide connected?

Deforestation = less trees less trees = more CO2 and according to some people- more CO2 = Global warming


What is reason deforestation does not cause global warming?

Deforestation does contribute to global warming, so it actually is one reason for global warming. Taking down immense forests does not allow the planet to control its Carbon Dioxide levels which in turn leaves more green house gases in the atmosphere. This of course traps heat which then warms the planet, but that is only a piece of the puzzle that is climate change.


Is everybody responsible to prevent global warming?

As we are all living on the planet we are all responsible for the global warming.


Which effect is responsible for global warming?

The greenhouse effect is primarily responsible for global warming. This process involves the trapping of heat in the Earth's atmosphere by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, leading to a rise in global temperatures. Human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have significantly increased the concentration of these gases, intensifying the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.

Why has deforestation become a global problem?

Deforestation has become a global problem because forest destruction is one of the main causes of global warming. Through photosynthesis, trees and plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, slowing global warming.
