Why does planting trees help with global warming

In today's world all we hear about is how we are polluting our air with our cars, airplanes and much more. I know we would all like to believe that we will be able to reduce the amount of these items. With most auto companies adding electric vehicles and technologies always advancing, it still is not fast enough. Specially with the fact that wild fires keep raging on.

Our world just keeps growing in population and that means more buildings, parking lots, roads and less trees. Trees produce oxygen. As found in the article (read) A 100-foot tree, 18 inches diameter at its base, produces 6,000 pounds of oxygen. Now start to think about the thousands of acres of forests that burn every year. Let’s do some simple math.

• We will use an approx. 800 trees per acre (you could fit around 1500 trees on an acre)
• As of Oct 30,2019, 76,825 acres has burned in one fire in California. There are fires active in many states
• 76,825 x 800 = 61,460,000 trees
• We know that this is not all forest land, even if we say 25% were trees, that is still 15,365,000 trees
• The Decker Fire is in a national forest in Colorado
• As of Oct 30,2019, 8,959 acres have burned
• This has lots of forest land
• 8,959 x 800 = 7,167,200 trees burned
• In this situation there could be more than 800 trees per acre

We NEED to replant trees. It is crucial to global warming and has many other benefits.

• Trees Produce oxygen.
• Trees remove carbon dioxide, what most believe one of the major causes of Global Warming.
• Trees provide wind block. Wind can cause fire to rage even faster.
• Trees reduce heat.
