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 and give your opinion

#people #moment #deforestation #impact #world
There is no doubt that global warming is the most pressing crisis plaguing our planet, and if no action is taken immediately we will find ourselves in a very dire situation. Some people believe that
deforestation
 has an even more devastating impact as compared to global warming. In
this
 essay, we shall look at
both
 sides of
this
 coin.
First
 and foremost, we must understand that the rate of
deforestation
 far exceeds the rate at which forests are being created. The largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon, which spreads over nine countries in South America, is being removed at a rapid rate, to meet the global demand for land, which many manufacturers require for allowing to establish their factories. Because of
this
 many animal and plant species are being displaced as well as the removal of indigenous people from their homeland. To put things in perspective, the Amazon is said to generate 20% of the world's oxygen, and
therefore
 the destruction of these forests will have nothing but negative repercussions.
In addition
, the burning of fossil fuels by factories, vehicles, and forest fires increases the earth's temperature, resulting in serve climate change the world over.
This
 can be seen with the floods currently happening
both
 in India and China. In rural areas of India, the burning of crops at the end of the harvest period cause a cloud of smog which engulfs Delhi and results in many breathing-related fatalities. In conclusion,
both
 global warming, and
deforestation
 pose serious concerns to the future existence of Mother Earth. An important point to remember is that in one year a mature tree will absorb more than 48 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen in exchange.
This
 clearly shows how
both
deforestation
 and global warming are intertwined with each other.
