Subject: Correlation between rain forest destruction and loss of glacial ice

Many regions worldwide are becoming increasingly arid. Large glaciers are 
receding at alarming rates. Is this caused by lack of atmosperic moisture to 
produce adequate snow to replenish these glaciers? The destruction of tropical 
rain forests is occurring at the rate of approximately 93,000 square miles per 
year. I believe that excessive carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a symptom 
rather than a cause for global warming but nobody seems to get past the 
biodiversity that is being destroyed. I believe that a massive reforestation 
effort should be undertaken worldwide along with measures to reduce pollution 
and find alternative energy sources. Don't trees consume carbon dioxide and 
give off oxygen during photosynthesis?
