Abstract

deforestation is a very real and very serious problem which we are being faced with around the world. Unfortunately, environmental issues are often put on the back burner in our government's policies. Although the destruction of our environment has been a pressing concern for many years, this issue continues to be largely ignored. Taking the well-being of our environment for granted can, and does, have horrendous effects. As recently brought to the public attention in a film by Al Gore entitled, An Inconvenient Truth, the Earth is experiencing a severe climate crisis which the government time after time again refuses to acknowledge. Clearly, there are many political motivations behind the denial of these environmental concerns.
