             The presence of rain forests on earth affects the climate around the world. If forests are destroyed no one can predict what will happen to the climate around the world. Rain forests provide fresh air. The trees found in the rain forest remove large amounts of carbon dioxide from the air by storing it in their roots and leaves. Trees in the Amazon store 75 billion tons of carbon dioxide (Carr 1). The trees also release oxygen. This helps fight pollution and also provides oxygen necessary for human life. By absorbing carbon dioxide rain forests help prevent the greenhouse effect and global warming. The threat of global warming is also increased as rain forests are set on fire. Fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere, therefore increasing the greenhouse effect and causing climate changes worldwide (Patent 8). As trees continue to be cut down the amount of rain the forests receive begins to decrease and the area will no longer be able to support the variety
