Human consumption of coal and oil and the successive rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have brought about extraordinary and life-threatening global warming. ... Deforestation, particularly when caused by burning, releases carbon in the form of carbon dioxide contributing to global warming. One way of correcting carbon imbalance in the atmosphere is to fix carbon dioxide by growing trees. ...

According to the IPCC, atmospheric carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse gas, had increased from pre-industrial levels of about 280 parts per million by volume (ppmv) to a 1990 level of 370 ppmv, far greater than the concentrations found by scientists for any prior historical period. ... Prominent among those predictions was the report's conclusion that if no measures were taken to reduce human production of carbon dioxide - the "business as usual- scenario - CO2 concentrations would likely double by 2065. ... Industrial smog, primarily sulfur dioxide, is actually a "negative fee...
