Climate 101: Deforestation Questions 1. Forestry and Agriculture are responsible for what percentage of greenhouse gas
emissions?
2. What are 2 ways that deforestation impacts the emission of greenhouse gas emissions?
3. How does agriculture cause deforestation?
4. What is the best solution to reduce deforestation and why?
5. What solutions would you give to families who rely on deforestation to live and provide for
themselves. (I say this because it is a very complicated problem)

1. I can’t think of the percentage off the top of my head, but I have the rest of the answers:

2. By cutting down trees, you are releasing the carbon dioxide that the trees were previously storing, and deforestation also limits the amount of trees available to take part in photosynthesis.

3. In order to have agriculture, you must have land to grow the food on; in order to get this land, some people need to burn jungles and rainforests for more space (what‘s currently happening in the Amazon).

4.  Set incentives for the government. This encourages them to not chop down trees, as there will be a visible benefit.

5. I would say education. It’s difficult in less developed countries, because it truly is all that they rely on; but through education, people can at least be aware of what they are doing so when the time comes they will be able to stop it.

Explanation:

answers are:

lysogenic     viral dna merges with host cell dna

lysogenic     no symptoms

lytic               viral dna takes over

lysogenic     virus does not destroy host cell

lytic               virus destroys host cell

lytic               induces symptoms of viral infection

lysogenic       cell reproduces and spreads provirus
