2019 Atmosphere Deforestation 
Frontiers
FEBRUARY 8, 2022
Deforestation fires in Brazil and Indonesia accounted for 3% and 7%, respectively, of the planet’s total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in 2019 and 2020, finds a new study in Frontiers in Climate. In Brazil, a total of 11,088 km 2 of forest were destroyed from August 2019 to July 2020. Deforestation fires emissions.

In the basic physics of climate change, a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, resulting in heavier downpours, a core ingredient of these events. An end to deforestation would protect ecosystems from drought and wildfire, as dense vegetation can absorb and retain moisture.

The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. C increase, the IPCC report states GHG emissions must be cut back by 43% by 2030 and 84% by 2050 (relative to 2019 levels). F), let alone 1.5°C

They are the processes that allow our food to grow, clean the air we breathe, and attempt to keep atmospheric temperatures in check. Deforestation and intensive agriculture are driving erosion and mass desertification (degradation of land into desert-like systems), which puts pressure on soils and limits biological activity 3,4.

Replacing these massive carbon sink forests with machinery which continuously pumps vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the Earth’s atmosphere is increasing the rate of global warming. For example, the rate of deforestation in indigenous territories has increased to 71% since the Brazilian president Jair Bolsanro was elected [4].

CO 2 levels in the atmosphere hit an all-time high in early May. Think of the atmosphere as a bathtub, and emissions as the water that flows from the tap. Keeping wild spaces wild, stopping deforestation and restoring degraded land to protect biodiversity, boost food production and store carbon. The tub is still filling.

Individuals and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) jointly brought a legal challenge against the Directive RED II in 2019. The British think-tank Sandbag claimed the deforestation induced by wood’s high demand will cancel out the benefit of not burning coal, thus boosting climate change rather than mitigating it.
