How does logging and cutting down trees affect global warming in Los Angeles?
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air. They store the carbon and release the oxygen. They do this during all the time they are growing. Logging and cutting down trees means they are not taking carbon dioxide from the air. Because carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas causing global warming, cutting down trees increases the warming. Global warming means 'all over the world'. So cutting down trees in Indonesia will affect the warming in Los Angeles. Cutting down trees in Los Angeles will affect global warming in Djakarta.

Why is logging harmful to the environment?
Logging (even clear cutting) is actually not harmful to the environment if it is done correctly. Logging on state and federal lands provides almost all of the lumber that we use to build most of our structures. So in that view, logging is good for the economy. Wood stores Carbon in the form of cellulose which a plant gains from atmospheric Carbon. This is helping our environment. Large plants/trees take in less Carbon than small plants/trees. So it only makes sense for us to cut the large trees for lumber (where the carbon continues to be stored) and allow younger trees to develop and take more carbon out of the environment. I do however agree that there are some areas that should not be logged to preserve some areas as they are without being touched by man. Also, if logging is done wrong, it can lead to mass erosion and to temperature increases in specific watersheds.
