Our planet's population is higher than ever. With each passing day, approximately 300,000 babies are born worldwide. More people means more food, more clothes, and more housing. Each of which leads to higher production of everything, and eventually more air pollution. Pollution is a major contribution to Global Warming since it releases carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. It get's even worse. There are less trees to absorb the carbon dioxide because of deforestation(LINK).
