The question that arose was if a high meat diet is a factor in global warming? Global warming is causing largely by too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. This CO2 is acting like a cover in the atmosphere inclosing the heat and this is warming the earth. The burning down of thousands of acres (deforestation) to make place to raise crops and cattle is one of the contributors to global warming. According to the Union of Concern Scientists "Any action to reduce or eliminate the release of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere helps slow the rate of warming"(Ultimate Hot Map, 2011). Deforestation discharges hundreds of thousands of tons of carbon into the atmosphere sharing the blame on global warming. Reforestation won't totally fix the problem causing the global warming. But the more trees the earth has the lower the CO2 and the higher oxygen it will
