Why could cutting down the rain forest possibly contribute to global warming?
If the trees are burned, the carbon dioxide released will raise airborne levels, and greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. But just cutting down the trees stops their process of REMOVING carbon dioxide from the air, which all green plants do.
How Many scientists don't believe in global warming?
Not many. Most (97% of) climate scientists agree that the earth is warming and that humans are causing global warming by burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests.
How do human contribute?
Humans burn fossil fuels which contribute to global warming. This includes the burning of coal, oil, and gasoline. Humans also cut down forests which contributes 15% to the total of CO2.
What do scientists think causes global warming the most?
Burning coal and oil (fossil fuels) and cutting down forests which take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Does a refrigerator contribute to global warming?
Yes it does contribute to global warming beacause of the coldness in it
How do humans contribute to climate change not including global warming?
Humans are contributing to global warming (by burning fossil fuel and cutting down forests) and global warming is CAUSING climate change.
What are some of the cause of desertification?

How does clearing of forests contribute to global warming?
Trees absorbing carbon dioxide gas. Cleaning forests cause for Increasing CO2 level.
What is most likely consequences of cutting down rain forests?
Loss of wildlife,global warming,erosion....these are but a few.
If we wern't here would global warming happen?
No. Global warming is caused by man burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. No other animal does that. If there were no humans on earth, there would be no global warming.
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.
