How does destruction of the environment affect the climate?

Benny Stehno: Less trees = less oxygen in atmosphere = more carbon-dioxide in atmosphere = more green house gas = faster global warming! In short :)

Omar Phipps: Deforestation is the largest single contributor to global warming and accounts for a little under one fifth of the human warming component.It’s occurring primarily in the developing nations and is a consequence of extensive tree felling to make way for agricultural and farm land, land for development of towns and villages, engineering projects and the supply of timber for commercial sale and use locally in construction etc.Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis â€" the CO2 is converted into cellulose, the stuff that makes up the bulk of the trees. If the trees are felled there is less CO2 being removed from the atmosphere, this means a greater build up of CO2 in the atmosphere and therefore more global warming.If! you extend your definition of ‘destruction of the environment’ to include strip mining, quarrying, mineral extraction and the general obtaining of the Earth’s resources then there are further pressures on the climate as a consequence of the large amount of greenhouse gases that are released during the extraction processes. Plus of course, the burning of the fossil fuels that are obtained is another major contributor to global warming.There is an almost infinite number of small scale climatic changes that have occurred due to localised ‘destruction’ of the environment. This could be anything from the diverting of a watercourse to the construction of a dam, or from clearing vegetation to the planting of commercial crops. Such activities affect the small scale climates that are unique to a particular region or environment. Each change may be small but when they are occurring on a worldwide scale the cumulative effect can be significant....Show more

Irma Po! iter: The environment is NOT being destroyed!

Clifford R! iggleman: It irrevocably changes the chemical composition of a life sustaining condition state which inevitably leads to destruction of life.http://www.prweb.com/releases/2009UFO/predictions/...

Darren Heling: Deforestation is the desecration of God's sanctuary....Thatis destroying nature is one kind of destroying our future generations....If you cut down more trees,we don't have air to breathe...Because trees give us good air,as we all know what we inhale they exhale.....And it affect the climate too....Trees give us rain...If no trees,no rain and climatic changes will happen more desperately.....So we put a full stop to deforestation and plant more trees...... "If you plan for one year,plant rice If you plan for ten years,educate the people If you plan for hundred years,plant more trees"...Show more
