Severe climate changes can affect trees. Floods can rip out trees and cause landslides. Droughts can kill trees. The Amazon Rainforest had a serious drought in 2005 and many trees died. Then in 2010 it suffered an even more serious drought. The dead and rotting trees release all their carbon into the atmosphere, and, of course, don't absorb carbon ever again.

How does planting trees assure that global warming will be lessed?

Part of the problem with global warming is the greenhouse effect, which has to do with there being too much CO2 in the atmosphere. Trees absorbCO2, so there is less of it.


How does junk mail prevent global warming?

Junk mail means that more trees are cut down for the paper. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so trees slow global warming. If there are fewer trees, then global warming increases.


How is the tropical rainforest being threatened by global warming?

Global warming is changing rainfall patterns in the tropical rainforest. The Amazon rainforest has many trees dying and many others are no longer growing.


Do evergreen trees affect global warming?

Yes, evergreen trees affect global warming by reducing it. Growing trees and vegetation remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (through photosynthesis). As carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that is being added to the enhanced greenhouse effect, then any removal of it is good.


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.

Does the Tree Huggers of American help stop global warming?

Kind of. They try to keep trees from being cut down, and trees consume carbon dioxide, so I guess you could say they fight global warming indirectly.

Destroying or cutting down trees?

Global warming


Why does cutting down trees contribute to the increase in global warming?

Cutting down trees contributes to global warming because trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When trees are cut down, this stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere, adding to the greenhouse gases that trap heat and contribute to global warming.

How do you reduce global warming with trees?

Trees take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere using photosynthesis as they are growing. This carbon is stored in the roots and branches of the trees. Because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, by removing it from the atmosphere we are slowing global warming. So the answer to global warming is to plant billions of trees all over the world.


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


Why should you select conservation of trees?

How many trees are in Lisbon?

None. Stop global warming!


Will cutting down old trees and replacing them with new trees help lower global warming?

no because global warming has to do with pollution not trees pollutions like cars trucks factory's all the stuff running on fossil fuel that's what we need to cut down in order to help lower global warming
