    Oxygen Co-

    Emission
    By: Rocío M., Victoria D., Candela M. and Sol

    • Rainforests are widelyu believed by laymen to
    contribute a significant amount of the world's
    oxygen, although it is now accepted by
    scientists that rainforests contribute little
    net oxygen to the atmosphere and
    deforestation has only a minor effect on
    atmospheric oxygen levels.
    • However, the incineration and burning of
    forest plants to clear land releases large
    amounts of CO2, which contributes to global
    warming.
    • Scientists also state that tropical
    deforestation releases 1.5 billion tons of
    carbon each year into the atmosphere.
    • Forests are also able to extract carbon
    dioxide and pollutants from the air, thus
    contributing to biosphere stability.
    Carbon Emmission
    • Every time we burn fossil fuels such as gas,
    coal or oil, carbon dioxide is released into the
    atmosphere. In a natural carbon cycle, carbon
    dioxide is re-absorbed by plants and trees.
    However, we are burning fuels where the
    carbon dioxide has been trapped under the
    earth's surface for millions of years, and we're
    doing it so quickly that plants and trees that are
    alive now have no chance of soaking it up
    • The effect of all this extra carbon dioxide in the
    atmosphere is that the overall temperature of
    the planet is increasing (global warming).
    Whilst the average global temperature is
    increasing, on a day-to-day level the climate is
    changing in unpredictable ways. To try and
    reduce the risk of ever more extreme weather,
    we need to reduce how much fossil fuel we are
    burning. This isn't easy
