Question

when we add housing to a tile with a forest it increases the global temperature and greenhouse gas concentration more than an empty tile. why do you think this is? a) it also causes deforestation which contributes to climate change b) the housing occupies a larger area of land when built on a forest c) the forest is no longer releasing carbon dioxide emissions d) the wood from the forests can be used to build the houses

Explanation:

Forests act as carbon - sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide. When housing is added to a forested area, deforestation occurs. Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, leading to increased greenhouse gas concentrations and contributing to climate change.

Answer:

A. It also causes deforestation which contributes to climate change
