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

Our globe is getting warmer day by day. As temperatures rise at an inconsistent pace,

this

raises global concern for the well-being of our

planet

. Us humans, along with a great number of other organisms, both living and non-living, live and depend on

this

planet

; it is our home. But what is causing

this

phenomenon? The answer to

this

question is Global Warming or Global Climate Change.

However

, others believe that

Deforestation

leaves a much larger impact than global warming. In

this

essay, I will discuss both views and give my final opinion. On one hand, global warming is caused by what is called the

Greenhouse

Effect. There is an atmospheric-like barrier called ozone surrounding the

Earth

. It is made up of

greenhouse

gases that are

carbon

dioxide

and methane. Like a

greenhouse

, these gases absorb heat radiation from the Sun and project it towards the

Earth

.

This

is how our

planet

is able to have life. Without it, the

earth

would be completely lifeless. Though thanks to

greenhouse

gases for making the

earth

a habitable place, too much of anything can lead to severe consequences. Ever since mankind started burning fossil fuels centuries ago, global temperatures have slowly begun increasing. It has been predicted that by the end of the 21st century, temperatures will have risen by an alarming two to five degrees Celsius .

This

can lead to habitats being wiped out, which leads to species going extinct, food shortages, etc. Polar bears in Antarctica have already lost their homes due to global warming.

On the other hand

,

deforestation

is the process of taking down

trees

in forests by cutting them down or burning them.

has been shown through research that several countries around the world have been doing

this

. Many things we use in our daily lives like furniture have one thing in common. They’re made from wood and wood comes from

trees

.

This

causes people to cut down

trees

. But like I’ve said before, too much of anything can lead to severe consequences.

Trees

are what give us oxygen. Through photosynthesis,

trees

absorb

carbon

dioxide

and release oxygen, unlike us organisms, who breathe in oxygen and release out

carbon

dioxide

. The

trees

are taken down by

deforestation

, so the

carbon

dioxide

that has already been absorbed by the tree gets released out into the air again.

This

contributes to the

greenhouse

effect and global warming, as

deforestation

is a part of global warming.

Due to

this

,

this

has

also

caused many animals that live in forests to lose their habitats.

As a result

, while some believe that global warming is a big issue in the world and others argue that

deforestation

is a bigger problem, I’ve come to a conclusion of my own. Both global warming and

deforestation

are big issues we are dealing with right now.

Nevertheless

, I believe that global warming leaves a more devastating impact on our

planet

because

deforestation

is a part of global warming. It is just a smaller contribution

global warming.

Thus

, global warming impacts

this

planet

more than

deforestation

.
