Deforestation and the decreasing ability of ocean sediments to absorb carbon dioxide ,for example, has severely disrupted the carbon cycle--the process by which terrestrial life absorbs and breaks down carbon compounds and emits pure carbon into the atmosphere. Climatologists assert that the unexpectedly high atmospheric carbon dioxide level that has been recorded in recent years is in large part...
