The Earth's temperature has risen by a whopping 1.2 degrees in the last 100 years. This is the most drastic change in Earth's history. Before mankind was able to impact the environment, the most rapid temperature change happened during the Paleocene-Eocene Extreme Thermal Period (PETM), during the Cenozoic era. During this period, Earth's temperature rose by 6 degrees in a span of 20,000 years. Even if this is a big change, it feels like a small dent in comparison to what is happening at the moment. In the last 100 years mankind managed to increase the planet's temperature on 1.2 degrees Celsius. During previously mentioned PETM period, 1.2 degrees Celsius was the increase that happened over 4,000 years. Nevertheless, the environment did suffer the impact: about 50% of all foraminifera were extinct with such difference in temperature. The changes we are facing now are 40 times faster than the changes during PETM.ㅤ
Problem
A drastic change
has risen by 1.2 degrees
over the past 100 years.
This is a crisis that never happened before in Earth's history. In fact, it's not a global crisis, it's a human crisis.

It is true that when Earth's temeprature was hotter than it is nowadays, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was also higher. However, the temperature never changed so drastically in such a short time. Rapid changes are dangerous, and we can see this is a micro-scale when people catch a cold when temperatures drop suddenly, and this might be enough to kill people with compromised or weaker immune systems.
According to reliable research so far, the biggest cause of warming is the mass release of carbon dioxide that was buried in the Earth's crust. This release happened due to the use of fossil fuels after the Industrial Revolution. There must be a way to contribute solving this problem, and there is. The answer lies in the forests.
