The forest is mainly distributed near the tropics where it is hot, and in northern regions where it is cold. The top five forest bodies are in Japan, Germany, China, and Australia. Deforestation is a major problem in large forest areas and is often due to logging to produce wood products. There is scientific evidence that deforestation contributes to higher global temperatures by reducing the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Yes. In most places of the world
specially the places where have the
largest forest. Because it can
produce money to sell trees to
companies that make pencils or
things that are principally made of
wood.
5. Is there scientific studies that support the idea that there is a
relation between deforestation and high temperatures in
the planet? How? Why?
Yes. Because in the places with
high temperatures they try not to
cut trees. Cause if they cut trees it
will rain less and then it will
continue being very hot the place.
