No doubt deforestation inAfrica contributes largely to the globally green house gas emmisions |

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change(IPCC) report glossary, Greenhouse gases are gaseous constituents of the atmosphere which might have either have natural or anthropogenic sources.They absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of the infrared radiation emitted by the earth surface,atmosphere and the clouds.These properties lead to what is known as the greenhouse effect. A phenomenon where gases trap the sun's heat and keep it close to the earth.Water vapor, carbondioxide, Nitrous oxide, Methane and Ozone are the primary greenhouses gases in the atmosphere.
Africa as the continent is not as industrialized as other part of the world.Yet Africa contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases due to widespread deforestation.African's major forests are spread across Central Africa, West Africa and East Africa but due to the economic need of the rainforest communities and those of the developed world comercial logging,woodfuel harvesting and the need to clear more land agriculture are leading to major deforestation. |
