What effect does deforestation have on burning fossil fuels
1 answer
Deforestation does not have a direct effect on burning fossil fuels. However, deforestation contributes to climate change, which in turn, increases the burning of fossil fuels. The removal of trees and forests disrupts the carbon cycle by reducing the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. This leads to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which contributes to global warming and climate change. In response, humans burn more fossil fuels to meet their energy demands, and this burning of fossil fuels further exacerbates the climate crisis.
