What happens if there is too much deforestation?

Answer 1

Too much deforestation means:

• More greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
• More global warming.
• More climate change.
• More glaciers and sea ice melting.
• Fewer polar bears.
• More rising sea levels.
• More flooding of low-lying countries and coastal cities.
• More damaging weather events.
• More heat waves killing old people.
• More crops failing causing famine, initially in Africa.
• More desertification.
• More climate refugees seeking suitable habitats.

Answer 2

Cutting down too many trees will result in nature being gone very soon. We will not be able to survive because we live on the oxygen that trees and plants breathe out. Because we need O2 and give off CO2, and because trees and plants breathe CO2 and give off O2, if one group is not there then the other will die. It is a bad thing if we keep cutting down trees in an unlimited way.

Vegetation that is growing (trees) is the only thing so far that can remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that is causing global warming and climate change, the most serious threat facing the planet. So cutting down trees increases global warming!

In addition to the impact on the balance of gases (O2-CO2), trees and plants provide habitat for huge numbers of creatures. It is possible to kill off many whole species of animal by destroying their habitats. Losses like that (large-scale habitat destruction) are not easily reversed, and will drive large numbers of creatures into extinction. Taking away the homes of creatures, allowing them to completely die off, and then restoring the habitat won't bring them back.

Trees should not be cut down because most of the paper used is not RECYCLED so therefore it is a waste of time from God to make and plant the tree!
