Earth is the only home for our race, at least for the time being, and there are two catastrophic phenomena that are destroy the planet. While some people would argue that the increase in world temprature causes the most destruction to our environment, others currently believe that the effect of increasing industrial logging and overcutting of natural forests is the most detrimental. I tend to believe that the synergy effect of both destructive phenomena will have a disastrous impact on the world we are living in. Therefore, I will discuss both views in this essay and provide evidence as to why both issues are almost equally threatening our survival.
