It is well known that all living plants absorb carbon dioxide. However, since countries like China want to gain more money, they will export a huge amount of wood to foreign countries like Japan, a country that aim to protect their own greenland and trees. “When those plants die and decay, carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. As forests and grasslands are cleared for individuals’ use, enormous amounts of stored carbon enter the atmosphere”. (M. Venkataramanan and Smitha, 2011) As a result of cutting down carbon-absorbing forests, “the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is now higher than at any time in the last 800,000 years and reached a record high in May this year”. (Nassos Stylianou, Paul Rincon and John Walton.) 日期???Thus, due to deforestation, carbon dioxide will release, which is probably going to cause an uncontrollable and disastrous warming of the …show more content…
“The climate change is likely to greatly increase the rate of species extinction. The most comprehensive study to date has estimated that a global average warming (Urban 2015) of 2°C (compared to pre-industrial levels) could risk the loss of about 5% of the world’s species, leading to global warming of 4°C, a staggering 16% (1 in 6) of species could be lost (Urban 2015).” (Will Steffen, Lesley Hughes and Alix Pearce)日期??? “We are in danger of losing 50 percent of all the living species on earth of all the living species on earth by the end of this century. Land-based animals and plant species are now moving toward the poles at a rate of 15 feet per day”. (Al Gore, 2016) Consequently, global warming results in threatening wild species with extinction, which is also a damage on the
