Trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide.
Cutting trees can cause global warming. Trees absorb carbon dioxide that is causing our greenhouse effect to get stronger.
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.
More living things such as humans are being brought into existence, breathing out more carbon dioxide. Factories, cars and planes also contribute to rising carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere from the smoke they release. Plants such as trees are supposed to convert the carbon dioxide into oxygen, but we keep cutting them down. In short - because of the human race.
An excellent question. Planting trees does sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere very efficiently. However, planting trees does not earn a whole bunch of money for global warming alarmists, so this solution is rarely tried.
well when a tree is alive and is doing photosynthesis it stores up carbon dioxide and it releases oxygen. when the tree is cut down any remaining oxygen escapes and the stored up carbon dioxide is released which then contributes to the green house effect but in general cutting down trees is bad for the environment destroys habitats and adds to the greenhouse effect. in return we get paper and wood. if we keep cutting down trees and there is still a demand for paper and wood in our growing population rainforests and woods won't exist anymore and many many undiscovered species and animals will be lost and die out for ever.
Cutting down trees does increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air because trees take the carbon monoxide in the air and turn it into oxygen in a process called photosynthesis. Without as many trees then there is going to be more carbon dioxide in the air.
Cutting trees can cause global warming. Trees absorb carbon dioxide that is causing our greenhouse effect to get stronger.
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. When trees are cut down and not replaced, this carbon dioxide is no longer absorbed, leading to an increase in its levels in the atmosphere. Additionally, when trees are burnt or decompose, the stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Yes, industrialization can increase the volume of carbon dioxide in the air due to the burning of fossil fuels, which releases CO2 as a byproduct. This can contribute to the greenhouse effect and 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.
Yes because trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide and store the carbon.
It affects the carbon cycle because when photosynthesis happens plant take in Carbon Dioxide and release oxygen. When the trees in the forest are cut down photosynthesis is reduced. Meaning, carbon dioxide will remain in the air that we breathe.
Carbon dioxide
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the air would increase if large trees were cut down. Trees help to absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, so removing them would result in less carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere.

the carbon dioxide will increase
When we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Also, it will increase when the plants and trees are being cut down because when this happens, there will be nothing to absorb carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide continues to increase, global warming will also worsen.
