Global Warming..
Gases act like the glass walls of a greenhouse, allowing some of the sun’s rays to enter, reflecting back harmful radiation from the sun and keeping some warmth close to the earth, making the earth a place where we can live. This natural process is called the greenhouse effect and when the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it results in global warming.
Why are forests important in climate change ? When trees grow, they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere
When trees die, carbon is released back into the atmosphere
PROTECTED FOREST
Burning trees causes the stored carbon to be released back into the air
So when forests are destroyed, large amounts of carbon is released into the air
