With all these new technologies contributing to climate change, there are still many reasons why humans are changing the climate. Deforestation is another way of releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.HUMAN IMPACT5When people destroy the forest so that nothing is left, it is called deforestation. People do this to make room for more buildings and homes. When deforestation occurs, it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. When deforestation releases carbon dioxide, it is trapped in the atmosphere and this is what causes an increase in climate. Deforestation is taking place almost everywhere in the world. More and more forests are destroyed every year, depriving the animals that live there of their habits. As the climate gets warmer and warmer, places with lower temperatures will start to melt, causing animals to become extinct. Climate change not only affects temperature, but also all species that live on earth. Many species live in cold areas, but with global warming, these areas are getting warmer every year. Researchers have studied and estimate that by 2050 million plants and animals could become extinct due to climate change (Roach, 2004). When many different kinds
