Idea for next video: What would happen if more than 60% of the trees on the earth got destroyed, burned, etc.

[@vids4u_164]

Hold up... that one's to real right now 😢

[@xxrockstarnobodyxx3168]

It's happening

[@NeverSuspects]

Depends on what trees, and how they were destroyed.... There are more trees today then 100 years ago because we largely stopped burning wood as a fuel and instead use coal and oil and the increased co2 levels has caused a global rapid greening because the available co2 reduced the amount of water lost to evaporation through pours on the leafs because they don't have to remain open as long to take in the needed co2 for photosynthesis. Burning all that wood would give a year of really poor air quality but I'm pretty sure most the oxygen we breath is coming from the ocean plant life not the trees. Anyway unless the ground where the trees were destroyed was salted or paved over the forests would grow back over the next century or two taking in a massive amount of carbon from co2 to build themselves with.

[@Rafael-qy7cl]

We would be fine. The ocean is 70% of earths oxygen. The only problem would be for the animals and the economy
