Forest directly impacts the health of the planet.
Researchers show that forest die off are increasing and this is trending and
being linked to global warming. Heat and water stress is associated with
climate change are making forest vulnerable to the insects attacks, fire, and
other things that cause great damage to the forests. Global warming continues
to grow. March of 2012 has been that warmest in history. Greenhouse gases are
fueling global warming and we continue to pour massive amounts into the atmosphere.
10 billion tons of carbon is being dumped into the atmosphere every year. Wood
based bio-fuels could be a competitive industry by 2020. But wood based
bio-fuels question the benefits of the planet.
The earth is a very large place that needs to be taken care
of by us. The forest is one of those areas that the people need to respect more
and help more and more. The forests are not only a source for us as humans to
live off of but also a source to the animals that need the forest to survive
and be able to get their food. By cutting out the forest with the more demands
that seem to keep coming up the earth cannot response as quickly. Without
replacing what we have used by planting new trees the areas will no one longer
be the same and it will take longer for the areas to grow back. Using wood as a
fuel can be done and is being done. People in third world countries use the
fuel all the time. But if it is used by more and more people the greenhouse
gases and climate change will become increased.
