Trees help to reduce global warming by 'cleaning the air'.
Here's how: * A gas that helps to cause global warming is carbon dioxide. * Trees 'breathe' just like we do except when they breathe they take in carbon dioxide not oxygen. * When a tree breathes out it breathes out oxygen. * This is then breathed in by a human. * Carbon dioxide is breathed out the the human... * ...and breathed in by the tree... * This carries on continuously. Some trees have been growing in tropical rainforests like the Amazon Basin for hundreds of years. They store almost half their weight in carbon. So trees help reduce global warming in a way, but with people producing so much extra carbon dioxide global warming is happening. Trees probably have other effects on the environment and global warming, but I only know what is above. Hope it helps :) Yes, living trees breathe in carbon dioxide. But when they die, they ROT, and when they rot, all the carbon they stored over the years will be oxidized and released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Well, not ALL of the carbon. Some part of it will be transferred to the soil. But in places like the Amazon Rain Forest, the soil is too thin to hold much carbon, so very little goes into the soil and what little does is rapidly released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. On the other hand, if, instead of allowing trees to die and rot, we were to HARVEST the trees, turn them into lumber, and treat them to prevent rot, the carbon therein would be sequestered (prevented from oxidizing into the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) almost indefinitely.

When people in the oil rich country of Dubai must adapt to a lack of natural freshwater how does this contribute to carbon emissions and global warming?

Are there politicians that don't believe in global warming?
Yes, there are politicians who do not believe in global warming or who question the scientific consensus on climate change. This skepticism can stem from ideological beliefs, financial interests, or a lack of understanding of the scientific evidence.
What is stopping people from fixing global warming?
Some barriers to addressing global warming include lack of political will, economic interests in maintaining the status quo, and lack of public awareness or sense of urgency. Additionally, the complex and interconnected nature of climate change requires coordinated global efforts and long-term solutions, which can be challenging to implement.
Does global warming and holes in the ozone layer share the same cause?
They are not the same issue. Ozone is a greenhouse gas and the hole is an issue with the Antarctic that occurs at the end of every winter for a few months. The lack of warming seen at the Antarctic is being blamed on the temporary hole there allows the to escape faster. The main link is that man may be helping nature with both issues, but even this in different ways.
How is poverty and global warming harming the earth?
Poverty contributes to environmental degradation as people living in poverty often lack resources and infrastructure to adopt sustainable practices. Global warming is harming the earth by causing rising temperatures, extreme weather events, melting ice caps, and disrupting ecosystems, which can lead to loss of biodiversity and threaten food security.

How much power will governments have to have to stop global warming?
Governments already have enough power. What some of them lack is knowledge and guts
List four problems that arise from 24-hour darkness.?
1 Trees do not grow properlybecause they perform photosynthesis in sun light. 2 Soil pollution will increase. 3 Global warming will increases due extra use of fossil fuel increased air pollution may result in global warming. 4 To produce energy extra use of fuel will result lack of fuel.

What is the cause of extreme temperature of planets?
One cause of the extreme temperate of planets includes the lack of atmosphere. Additionally, on Earth, there is global warming.
Ozone layer depletion cfc's in global warmng?
Global Warming has nothing to do with the Ozone layer. Ozone is a chemical, O3 ,that stops most of the UV radiation from the sum from getting to the earth's surface. Chloro-fluoro carbons- CFC's are chemicals that were used in cooling systems and complex fire extinguishers, as well as aerosols. When scientists did research in the 1970's etc, they worked out that CFC's, such as Freon, chlorotrifluoromethane, CClF3, break ozone into oxygen and "oxygen radicals", that react with the CFC. This creates a hole in the ozone layer. A lack of ozone doesn't affect global warming. Instead, the CFC's themselves are potent greenhouse gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Why does Europe lack trees?
Europe does not "lack" trees, there are plenty of trees to be found in Europe.
Are tornadoes decreasing due to global warming?
Currently scientists are uncertain as to how global warming would affect tornadoes. This is further complicated by a lack of complete, long-term tornado records. So far no substantial link has been discovered.
What industry in California would be most impacted by global warming?
California is already suffering through major droughts. The lack of water affects agriculture (industry) and human activities.
What are the factors that contribute to global hunger?
Factors that contribute to global hunger include poverty, conflict and violence, climate change, lack of access to education and healthcare, and unequal distribution of resources. Additionally, political instability and poor governance can also play a role in exacerbating food insecurity.
