How would this reduce the problem of global warming? Trees reflect additional sunlight back into space before it strikes the ground, reducing the global temperature. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and thereby reducing the greenhouse effect. Trees prevent soil erosion, and soil erosion contributes to the greenhouse effect. Trees release water vapor into the atmosphere, increasing the cloud cover and reducing the global temperature.arrow_forwardBushfires in Australia have been worsening for more than two decades as escalating drought places pressure on forest resilience and recovery. Bushfires are likely to occur across Australia through at least March 2022 and are a typical feature of the summer and early fall in the country, particularly after long dry spells or during spans of extremely high temperatures. One time, there’s a bushfire occurred in Southeast Australia and the local government will put the fire out before it burns more land.
