Global Warming and the chosen topic

Based on our main topic for our computer graphics symbol assignment, we were to choose a small topic from the big one and as of that, i have chosen:

Deforestation

Of course, some brief info on Global Warming together with Deforestation itself. Global Warming is defined as a gradual increase in the Earth's average temperature, specifically in the Earth's atmosphere and it's ocean. Due to this, it is believed that it will permanently change the Earth's climate forever.
There are many causes to Global Warming and as i have mentioned, i will be focusing on 'Deforestation'.

Deforestation is a conversion of forested areas to non-forest land. There are many reasons as to why deforestation is happening up until now which are related to money or to people's need to provide for their families. However, the most biggest factor of deforestation is to increase the urban landscape. Because of this, many of the world's forests are being permanently cut down resulting in causing the earth's temperature to creep upwards. This not only brings down the earth but also the entire mankind as the high temperature affects us greatly.
