SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Scientific evidenceindicates that the CO2 added to the air by the burning of woodand fossil fuels is contributing to global warming, a rise inglobal temperature. Tropical rain forests are estimated to beresponsible for approximately 20% of global photosynthesis,yet the consumption of large amounts of CO2 by living trees is thought to make little or no net contribution to reductionof global warming. Explain why this might be the case. (Hint:What processes in both living and dead trees produce CO2?)
