would like to project my speech on three of the most common of those ways. They are deforestation‚ marine debris and air pollution. Deforestation is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat‚ the overwhelming direct cause of deforestation is agriculture. Deforestation has negative effects on everyone and everything. Oxygen production is drastically

temperature is rising whether we like it or not. The question is‚ are humans affecting the rise in the temperature. I believe are affecting global warming by burning fossil fuels. I think this because of the sea level‚ burning of fossil fuels‚ and deforestation. One reason I believe humans are affecting global warming is because the ocean has risen about 4-8 in the last 100 years. That may not sound like that much but it’s a significant amount. In an online article it says‚ it’s getting hotter because

Since deforestation has had no severe effect on us yet‚ we ignore the problem; however‚ deforestation can cause a major problem for our environment. Some of the problems are carbon dioxide‚ wasting paper‚ climate change and logging. Deforestation increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide in our world’s atmosphere acts like a sheet

continuous degradation of the forests or what is known to be deforestation (Maycock‚ 2011‚ p.398) is being performed‚ resulting to serious problems including the displacement of wildlife species‚ the occurrence of severe effects during or after a tropical storm (which is commonly experienced by Filipinos)‚ and the increasing level of temperature in the country.

Nowdays‚ alot of tree have been cut down to improve the standard of living and there are so many effects can be enumerated as result of the activity. Deforestation is process of converting forest into non-forest sites‚ it occur due to developing country such as urbanization and to grow crops.

importantly‚ what can we do to help? The most important things we can do to help is to reduce the number of trees we cut. This will lessen the effect of deforestation and global warming. In addition‚ we can make laws or statements that for every tree we cut down‚ we should plant another two to five trees. The statement will definitely eliminate deforestation for the most part. Now to stop habitat fragmentation and human encroachment‚ we must place boundaries and sanctuaries for sloths and anyone who still

today’s Global energy crisis‚ we find ourselves dependent on wood‚ as did Britain. Based on the reading from “An Early Energy Crisis and its Consequences” (Nef 1977)‚ Britain in the second half of the 16th century had its first energy crisis due to deforestation. The country had a large supply of forest‚ and was greatly dependent of wood for everything. They used it for building homes and furniture among many other things. The government regulated the use of wood as it used it for building there ships
