What is global warming and how is rainforest destruction contributing to this phenomenon?
Global warming is the increase in the temperature of the earth's land, atmosphere and oceans due to the additional gases of the enhanced greenhouse effect. Rainforest destruction increases global warming because trees and all vegetation remove carbon dioxide, the main contributing greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere.
How is global warning threatning antarctica?
The global warming is threatening Antarctica. This is happening because ice is melting and Emperor Penguins could be threatened as well.

Is Antarctica threatened by global warming?
The continent itself will not be affected by global warming. However, the ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent -- 90% of the earth's store of ice -- which holds 70% of the earth's fresh water, is threatened by global warming.
Is there a fear of climate change in the tropical savannas?
Yes, global warming is already affecting the tropical savannas.
How many people on earth are threatened by global warming and desertification?
Some are more immediately threatened than others, but as these processes continue, everyone will be threatened.
When will the global warming decrease?
Global Warming is not yet decreasing even though some countries are using poo car or electric car because some countries are still burning coal to power electricity or using the chimney to burn rubbish. Now, the global warming is neither decreasing nor increasing. It is in a constant level. In few years later, the global warming will start to decrease as they will plant more trees in Sahara Desert to change it back to a tropical rainforest. That will be environmentally friendly. 23 million years ago, China and Japan was also covered in tropical rainforest but that tropical rainforest is also been destroyed. They will plant a little bit more trees but they won't turn China and Japan back to the tropical rainforest because there is already lots of buildings already. During the Pangaea, there was only very few trees. In the begging of Jurassic Period, 90% of earth land was covered in tropical rainforest. The plant-eating dinosaurs has been consuming trees in the tropical rainforest until the earth triggered a mass extinction 65 million years ago. After the mass extinction, 60% of earth's land was covered in tropical rainforest. Now only 20% of earth's land is covered in tropical rainforest. If they plant more trees and cover the Sahara Desert up, it'll be 30% of the earth's land covered in tropical rainforest. In September 2016, China might use poo car or electric car instead. In April 2017, the gas car might be terminated. In May 2017, they will use lightning to power electricity instead of burning coal and they will use rubbish burner to burn rubbish. In June 2017, 21% of earth's land might be covered in tropical rainforest and few parts of Sahara Desert has been destroyed. Trees takes about several months to grow.
