|
|
No, trees aren’t that important
|
|
|
Sometimes because only the cutting down of Maple trees contributes to global warming
|
|
|
No, deforestation adds methane to the atmosphere, which makes the Earth cooler
|
|
|
Yes; less trees means less CO2 is turned into oxygen.

Detailed explanation-1: -When forests are cut down, much of that stored carbon is released into the atmosphere again as carbon dioxide (CO2). This is how deforestation and forest degradation contribute to global warming.
Detailed explanation-2: -When deforestation occurs, much of the carbon stored by trees is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, which contributes to climate change. In the last decade, the largest amounts of deforestation occurred across the humid tropics, mostly in Africa, followed by South America.
Detailed explanation-3: -Deforestation and the carbon cycle When forests are cleared or burnt, stored carbon is released into the atmosphere, mainly as carbon dioxide.
Detailed explanation-4: -As trees grow, they help stop climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-5: -Trees take in carbon dioxide and traps it into tissues and soil while at the same time releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. The removal of trees significantly reduces the rate of this process, resulting in higher carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and lower natural oxygen levels.
