The carbon cycle is the natural way of moving carbon in and out of the atmosphere. The only way it could be used to slow down global warming would be if we planted billions of trees. Trees use photosynthesis to remove carbon dioxide from the air.
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.
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.
well it is said that plants can help stop global warming. So, they have photosynthesis and do cellular respiration to take in carbon dioxide and make it oxygen. global warming has to do with carbon dioxide. there you go! :)
The loss of forests contributes to global warming primarily by reducing the number of trees available to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), a major greenhouse gas. When trees are cut down or burned, the carbon stored in their biomass is released back into the atmosphere, further increasing CO2 levels. Additionally, deforestation disrupts local and global climate patterns, reducing biodiversity and the natural resilience of ecosystems to climate change. This cycle exacerbates global warming, making it more difficult to mitigate its effects.
Cutting trees can cause global warming. Trees absorb carbon dioxide that is causing our greenhouse effect to get stronger.
Yes, trees and plants anywhere remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a powerful greenhouse gas which is contributing to global warming. If more trees are cut down, then global warming will increase.
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.
Fossil fuels contain carbon that was laid down millions of years ago. Burning it now, as we do in industry, transport and to generate electricity, means that extra carbon is being added to the atmosphere. The natural carbon cycle cannot remove all this extra greenhouse gas and this is causing global warming.
Deforestation is another human activity that is overloading the carbon cycle. When trees are cut down and burned or left to decompose, the carbon stored in them is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Yes by rewinding the causes that encourage melt down ; Carbon economy in case of global warming .

The carbon cycle has moved carbon in and out of the atmosphere for millions of years, supporting the natural greenhouse effect of the planet, which keeps the earth warm.Man's recent (over 250 years) burning of fossil fuels has released a lot of carbon that had been hidden underground for millions of years. This is overloading the carbon cycle. Man also cut down the great forests of the world that used to absorb carbon dioxide and store the carbon. Half the weight of a tree is carbon.This means that there is much more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than there ever was (394 ppm, parts per million, instead of the long standing levels of 270 ppm). All this additional greenhouse gas captures more of the sun's warmth and is causing an accelerated greenhouse effect, which produces global warming.
Global Warming. The carbon cycle puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. But it also takes the same amount out again, cycled between land, sea and sky. Humans put carbon dioxide into the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels. More of it remains there because we have cut down the great forests of the world. But we don't remove this carbon dioxide. So it is building up, holding back more of the sun's heat, and causing global warming.
