Question

describe how deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels contribute to global climate change

Answer 1

we know that plants and trees use the co2 present in air for photosynthesis.
no of trees are going down due to deforestation.
therefore the large amount of co2 produced during the burning of fossil fuels are left in the air.
therefore the composition of co2 in air is high.
co2 is a green house gas. it traps the heat inside the atmosphere resulting in increase in temperature of atmosphere.

Answer 2

deforestation means tree depletion due to which the amount of carbon dioxide absorved by plants becane less which leads to growth of carbon dioxide and burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide which heats the earths atmosphere thus disrupting the global climate.... hope it helps
