Changes in the environment
I have learned that Global climate change initiated by global warming is
expected to have wide-ranging effects for tropical rainforests. As habitat
destruction trends interact with climate change, the concern is that the Amazon
will be caught up in a set of “feedback loops” that could dramatically speed up
the pace of forest lost and degradation and bring the Amazon Biome to a point
of no return.Global climate change is happening now. The United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change defines climate change as a change
in climate attributable directly or indirectly to human activity, and that occurs
in addition to natural processes of climate variability observed over comparable
periods of time. When released into the atmosphere through the burning of
fossil fuels, deforestation, and other human practices, carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases like methane absorb infrared radiation from the sun, trapping
heat in Earth's atmosphere and altering the global atmosphere.
