The terms global warming and climate change are often used to talk about the environmental issues our planet faces, but they mean slightly different things. Understanding the difference between these terms helps us see why protecting and growing forests is so crucial—and why ProspecTree’s approach to sustainable forestry can have a real impact on both nature and our lives.
What is Global Warming?
Global warming refers to the increase in Earth’s average temperature, mainly due to extra carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Human activities—like burning fossil fuels and deforestation—trap more heat, making the planet warmer over time. This warming effect has been growing steadily, especially in the last 50 years.
Scientists have measured temperature changes going back hundreds of years and found that our recent warming pattern is unprecedented. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, act like a warm “blanket” around the Earth, trapping heat and raising temperatures globally. Trees naturally help balance this by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide, which is why reforestation is such an effective solution for global warming.
What is Climate Change?
Climate change is the term used to describe the many changes that result from global warming. As temperatures rise, weather patterns shift, and we experience more extreme events like floods, wildfires, and hurricanes. Climate change affects entire ecosystems and impacts our water, food, and even health.
Climate change is already affecting the world around us, and the more carbon dioxide we add to the atmosphere, the bigger these changes become. But when we plant trees and restore forests, we help absorb some of that carbon dioxide, easing the pressure on our climate.
How ProspecTree is Helping Fight Global Warming and Climate Change
ProspecTree’s mission is to make a meaningful difference in tackling these challenges through sustainable forestry. Our T4P token program allows participants to support reforestation and carbon offsetting by linking each token to real trees. These trees capture and store carbon dioxide, directly helping to reduce the greenhouse effect and contribute to climate stability.
When you participate in ProspecTree’s program, you’re supporting the planting and growth of trees that help clean the air, improve biodiversity, and create long-term environmental benefits. Plus, as the trees mature, you benefit from the ecological and economic gains of sustainable forest management.
Join ProspecTree to Make a Real Impact
The work we do at ProspecTree goes beyond simply planting trees. We’re creating a path to a greener future that benefits both the planet and those who take part. By participating in our tree-planting program, you’re not only helping fight climate change, but you’re also gaining value from the sustainable management of these forests over time.
