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.


The naturally occurring atmospheric gas that is blamed for causing global warming is?

Carbon dioxide has been charged and convicted of causing global warming.
