deforestation plays critical climate change role

This article is about the role deforestation plays in adding greenhouse gases by way of slash and burning and how it will effect the worlds temps in the future. Deforestation acccounts for 20% of the carbon released into the atmosphere and will play a major part in the increase in global temps for many years to come. If it is to be stopped many governments need to inflict stronger rules as to slash and burning and strip farming. The way alot of deserts are formed in areas where they were once fertile is by clear cutting and farming until all of the nutrients are gone then abandoning the land and letting wind erosion take over. If we are to control the effect we have on the planet these all need to be carefully addressed.
