While some people consider global warming to be the most pressing environmental problem which we have at the moment, others believe that deforestation has a more devastating impact on our world. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Because of our energy-intensive lifestyle and human activities, the earth is now facing various environmental problems: Extreme weathers, rise of sea levels, melt of icebergs, to name but a few. While some people consider global warming to be the most pressing issues which we have at the moment, others believe that

deforestation

has a more catastrophic effect of the nature. In my

opnion

a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty

opinion

, the

later

referring to the second of two things or persons mentioned (or the last one or ones of several)

latter

claim is more plausible, and

hence

this

essay will

then

discuss the above views and provide evidence as to why cutting off trees is a more serious matter.

To begin

with,

deforestation

is relatively more imperative than global warming, considering the causal relationship between them. When more trees or forests are logged down, less plants can undergo photosynthesis.

Hence

, the ability of the globe to absorb carbon dioxide will decrease significantly, which is why global warming is intensified--the CO2 has trapped the heat.

In addition

to that, some logger with burn the green area so as to enrich the soil for farming. During

this

process, more greenhouse gases are generated, which will

also

lead to global warming.

Therefore

, as

deforestation

can cause global warming, it brings a more devastating

impact

on our nature than merely global warming itself.

Besides

, in terms of global awareness,

deforestation

is surely not under the spotlight, comparing with the issue of global warming. It is undeniable that the government around the globe has done various work on tackling the rising temperature.

For instance

, they have signed the Kyoto protocol and promised to limit their industrial works.

As a result

, global warming has gained public attention and people are aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Therefore

, with a high recognition, the adverse

impact

of

such

is limited.

However

, the propaganda or education on

deforestation

is much less. People do not know much about

this

issue and its related consequences, resulting a lack of awareness of rectifying the problem. Without any mitigation measures or collaborative efforts, the

impact

done by

deforestation

is more disastrous and irreversible. To conclude,

deforestation

outweighs global warming in terms of the environmental impacts and the availability of relieving measures.

Hence

, it is my conviction that

deforestation

has a more devastating

impact

on our earth. In light of

this

, we should put more emphasis on

such

matter and solve it as soon as possible.
