Forests are sometimes referred to as the lungs of the earth because of the trees they contain. Trees, just like most plants absorb carbon dioxide, and releases oxygen; a reverse of the respiration process of most animal life. Carbon dioxide is known as one of the chief gases responsible for global warming, it increases the heat of the surface of the earth due to the "green house effect." The green house effect happens because heat radiation from the sun is trapped, instead of been reflected back into space. The heat is trapped because carbon dioxide acts as a blanket around the earth, preventing the reflected heat with a much lesser energy to penetrate out into space. So we can see that planting of trees will go a long way into trapping and recycling the available carbon dioxide, reducing the general global warming and increase in global temperature.
