Products that bear the label “carbon neutral” are supposed to be produced with no added emissions to the atmosphere. The National Forests Foundation advertises that for every $2 donation, they’ll plant two trees that will remove or offset 1 metric ton of CO2e from the atmosphere for the life of those trees. But can you trust it?

In particular, he said, “reliance upon coal, on the other hand, could aggravate the ‘greenhouse effect,’ whereby excess carbon dioxide (which accompanies coal burning) traps heat inside the earth’s atmosphere, thus possibly melting the icecaps and raising the level of the oceans.”

This is the third year in a row that emissions from energy are flat, yet, climate scientists report that our atmosphere is seeing its carbon content grow faster than ever. So, why is the amount of carbon in our atmosphere is increasing fast if our emissions from energy are stable ? Deforestation is one.

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. The changes to the world's oceans include warming, more frequent marine heatwaves, ocean acidification, and reduced oxygen levels.

The unrelenting heat has caused a dizzying number of air and ocean temperature records to be broken in recent weeks. As the climate continues to change due to human activities, oceans have absorbed over 90% of the excess heat. Ocean temperatures off the coast of Florida have reached as high as 97°F in recent days.

Deforestation and forest fragmentation are making it harder for species to move in response to climate chnage. Some marine species also experience boundaries to movement, including ocean currents, thermoclines, and shipping lanes, but they are generally more able to track changes in sea temperatures.

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. Since then, gallons of water flowed under the bridge and the H 2 O-derived renewable energy evolved into two major outputs: hydropower and ocean energy.

Acidification : Reducing the pH rating of a substance making it more acidic in nature, for example, increased carbon emissions lead to the oceans absorbing more of it, increasing acidification and damaging ecology such as coral bleaching.
