How is the rainforest linked to world-wide ‘greenhouse effect’?
Even experts disagree on the significance of the greenhouse effect. One thing is for sure: we will always need the oxygen the rainforest produces.

Conversely, burning of the world’s rainforest accounts for 20-25% of the CO2 emitted into the atmosphere by man.
