NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -These negative impacts include: destruction of forest cover, loss of biodiversity, ecological imbalance, soil compaction, soil erosion, flooding, desert encroachment and disruption of hydrological cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil puts more carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. NASA has observed increases in the amount of carbon dioxide and some other greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Too much of these greenhouse gases can cause Earth’s atmosphere to trap more and more heat.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Wood burning is a significant source of black carbon. For example, a study (PDF) from Switzerland found that, at the sites that were measured, wood burning contributed up to 33% of black carbon emissions.
