Understanding the Threat of Climate Change to Forests

The video discusses the impact of logging and climate change on forests. It explains how human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, contribute to climate change by increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The video highlights the role of forests in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. It also addresses the serious consequences of climate change, including severe weather events and increased forest fires.

• A sudden increase in rainfall

• A decrease in global temperatures

What is a significant contributor to the greenhouse effect?

• Deforestation

• Solar flares

• Ocean currents

• Greenhouse gases

How do forests help in reducing the impact of climate change?

• By increasing rainfall

• By blocking sunlight

• By absorbing carbon dioxide

• By cooling the Earth's core

What is one of the consequences of climate change mentioned in the video?

• Decreased sea levels

• More frequent and intense forest fires

• Longer winters

• Increased snowfall
