Tropical rainforests are getting cut down at a rate of 6000 trees an hour, this extremely rapid deforestation of rainforests has caused rainforests that were once 14% of earth’s surface all the way down to only 6%, at the rate we are chopping rainforests will be gone in approximately 40 years. So some of us might not witness the complete deforestation of rainforests but we must protect future generation from this controversial threat. Rainforests are the means of supplying us with oxygen. And the human body cannot survive longer than 4 minutes without…
According to the United Nations, at least 37.5 million acres of rainforest are lost each year – an area the size of Portugal. Tropical rainforest deforestation is now widely recognized as one of the most critical environmental problems facing the world today, with serious long-term consequences.…
So as i said in the begging i am in every part of my heart i am agaisnt deforestation.So if you still dont care that you just waisted 5-10 minuets of your life and think that this will never happen come and find me when the world is ending because of deforestation i will be right here telling you i told you…
Do you believe that our natural world can come to an end because of our actions and careless attitudes? It is obvious that the global environmental changes are primarily caused by the growing trend of human’s actions and industrial revolution. Unfortunately, these changes are irreversible and directly contribute to the continuous deterioration of our planet. This is the topic that Thomas Friedman (2016) focuses on his article, “We are all Noah now”. In this article “We are all Noah now” Friedman (2016) states that the planet and human’s life are seriously affected by these changes. The author discussed many issues by explaining their sever impact. One major issue humans do is deforestation, where the tree cutting is on rise with diverse consequences…
This paper presents a Toulmin model argument for the care and usage of the Earth and its natural resources as dictated by God in the Holy Bible (NIV). The Old Testament provides many guidelines for man to live fruitfully on Earth. Because it was made by God and given to us, we must follow the guidelines that he has set forth in the care and preservation of our planet.…
Unfortunately 17% of the forest cover has been lost in the last 50 years due to deforestation in the form of/to make space for logging, mining, cattle ranches, tourism,…
The Claims of fact, value and policy are an important input to supporting and warrant the three legs of the communication (triangle). Back on “1958” Stephen Toulmin proposed the six terms as a model of communication designed to analyze the court room rhetorician’s argument. These included the three legs of communication, which are writer, subject, and audience supporting the claims of fact, value and policy, in others words, claim is an author’s proposition in which he/she is trying to prove a statement. In addition, Wayne Brockriede and Douglas Ehninger brought to coaction the six key terms in Toulmin model connecting the three legs of the communication (triangle), which are: writer, subject, and audience and it included as a support warrant the claims of fact, value and policy (Rottenberg, Winchell, 2015) .…
The main idea of the article is the affect of deforestation on the environment, wildlife and climate change. Deforestation results in soil deterioration. Forests store nutrients that are required for all plant life. Without trees to fill these roles, many forest’s lands can quickly become barren deserts. Deforestation also impacts the habitat for million species. Majority of Earth’s land animals and plants live in forests, and many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. Deforestation also drives climate change. Forest soils are moist, but without protection from sun-blocking tree cover they quickly dry out. Trees also help conserve the water cycle by returning water vapor back into the atmosphere. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Cutting down forests will cause a decline in photosynthetic activity which results in the…
It is said, that forests cover 31% of the land area on our planet (WWF). Reducing the number of trees and the surface area of a forest is called deforestation. Deforestation is one of the biggest problems in today’s economic system. There may be a lot of positives behind the idea of cutting down trees; however they are all outnumbered by the negatives. If one is not careful with the removal of a forest, it may lead to more deserted areas.…
The worldwide depend greatly on paper, wood and land has resulted in what is known as deforestation. Trees are felled so quickly that nature cannot replace them fast enough. We already lost half of our tropical forests. Every minute, around 6-football field size of rainforests is being destroyed. At this rate, the world's forests could be totally destroyed in another few decades.…
Deforestation is one of the biggest ways in which we are depleting the earth of the lungs that uses to purify the atmosphere and clean the environment of carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas that contributes to a rising global temperature. (4) The rainforest act as natural cleaners of the environment and help the atmosphere and ourselves by transforming carbon dioxide into Oxygen with the help of the Sun. Nowadays about twenty percent of the greenhouse gases are the effect of tropical rainforest deforestation alone. The way that deforestation impacts our world also affects the water cycle of earth as trees from rainforest whom used to extract groundwater from the earth and release it into the atmosphere are cut down and now unable to do so. Deforestation makes soils become eroded and thru rain…
An estimated 13 million surface of forests were lost each year between 2000 and 2010 due to deforestation. In tropical rainforests particularly, deforestation continues to be an urgent environmental issue that jeopardizes people’s livelihoods, threatens species, and intensifies global warming. Forests make a vital contribution to humanity, but their full potential will only be realized if we halt…
However, despite all of the warnings and dangers of deforestation, it is tempting for people to argue that, “just as the U.S. and Europe have been allowed to use significant portions of their land to meet the needs of their people, so too must developing nations like Brazil be given that same opportunity” (Rothbard et al.). It is undeniable that companies and local farmers may be experiencing profitable economic opportunities from logging and/or clearing the way for agriculture and livestock, but as the number of trees that can be cut down is finite and the rapid loss of soil fertility means more land for the same amount of crops, these economic gains are not justifiable in the long run. With one estimate being that just the Amazon rainforest alone has been reduced seventeen percent in just the past fifty years, it is clear that with demands for resources going up, that this wasteful trend is not a permanent solution to countries’ problems (“The World Wildlife Foundation”). Another aspect of economies dependent on deforestation is that just as poachers illegally kill animals in protected areas for massive amounts of money, there is an incentive in these countries to perform illegal logging practices. It is unfortunate that after investigation there is, “evidence…
In all rainforest regions in the world, deforestation has become a major problem. The rainforest is arguably the most complicated and largely interwoven ecosystem on land. However, this treasure is being lost and demolished day by day, the land being cleared away for the pure interest of money making, in the process of deforestation. Not only are thousands of species of organisms being driven to extinction, but we are also effectively eliminating any chance of studying many of the species. Also, deforestation has a major impact on the atmospheric balance of the world, and if it continues at the rate it is now, then soon the world's entire way of living will be forced to change, and not for the good. If the people of the world do not begin to be more contentious, then soon rainforests will become nothing more than a glorious legend of the past.…
IN ORDER TO STOP THE deforestation OF trees FROM THE rainforest ECOSYSTEM, PEOPLE NEED TO STOP using as much paper products in their household. IN ORDER TO STOP THE deforestation OF trees FROM THE rainforest ECOSYSTEM, PEOPLE NEED TO STOP using as much paper products in their household. The first part the campaign has to make people feel ashamed and guilty for deforestation of tropical rainforest. The people cutting the trees make it seem like it is good for animals and plants, but really it’s damaging the ecosystem especially animals and plants. Some of the species can go endangered or extinct, like the Chimpanzee they live in the trees to escape their predators and for a home. At least 137 species of insects, plants, and animals are going extinct. Once people realize that deforestation is bad for the ecosystem. They will feel bad for doing that to animals and plants. They will reduce the use of paper products.…
