Answer: sample response : When plants photosynthesize, they remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When a large number of trees are removed from an area, the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere remain higher than they would be if the trees were present. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, the presence of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means that more heat is trapped in the atmosphere. This causes temperatures near Earth’s surface to increase.

Around the late 17th century a movement started that promoted individualism, reasoning, scepticism, and secularism. This movement was called the Enlightenment, or the "Age of Enlightenment". The Scientific Revolution is related to the enlightenment as<u> people used the scientific method to understand the world around them</u>.

The Renaissance and the Reformation had the main ideas that started this movement. Religion was very important in the life of the people at the time. Protestantism argued that s<em>alvation wasn't mediated by Church,</em> but was rather a matter of <em>personal faith</em> <em>and giving the scriptures the importance Christian Church didn't.</em> The Reformation rejected the traditional teachings of the Church that weren't in the Bible. This led to a schism that would separate Catholic Church and what would be known as the Protestant Church. Protestantism placed <u>emphasis on the individual and, as said before, people's salvation by faith alone and not by doing good works or sacrament.</u>

The Reinassence and Reformation encouraged the return to the origins and the study of early manuscripts in their original languages. This marked the beginning of modern science. The Reinassence showed people they could live without the pressure of pleasing God. It promoted secular values over religious values. They were widely influenced by Roman and Greek civilization, which led to the movement of democracy.
