Some of the effects of climate change, such as more wildfires, [9] invasive species, and more extreme weather events can lead to more forest loss. [10] [11] The relationship between deforestation and climate change is one of a positive (amplifying) climate feedback. [12] The more trees that are removed equals larger effects of climate change ...
23% of tree cover losses result from wildfires and climate change increase their frequency and power. [136] The rising temperatures cause massive wildfires especially in the Boreal forests. One possible effect is the change of the forest composition. [137] Deforestation can also cause forests to become more fire prone through mechanisms such as ...

The findings of a new study examining how local deforestation can reshape global climate, weather patterns and temperatures. New study: Deforestation has chaotic impact on temperature, climate ...
25-50% of the rainfall in the Amazon basin comes from the forest, and if deforestation reaches 30-40% most of the Amazon basin will enter a permanent dry climate. [14] In another article published by Nature, it points out that tropical deforestation can lead to large reductions in observed precipitation. [15]
2016 - President Trump, who describes climate change as a "hoax", starts a series of attacks on environmental protection regulation. Consistent with a previous promise to dismantle the EPA, he selects Scott Pruitt, who made a career of attacking the EPA and lobbying for oil companies, as EPA administrator. [30]
Every three weeks, the United States experiences an extreme weather event that produces $1 billion worth of damage, according to the latest US National Climate Assessment report, released earlier ...
Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...
