well, some of the global warming is natural...volcanoes and cow farts release methane too, an old growth forest like that would have build ups of gases and minerals

No way, global warming is because of industrial emissions, cars, etc. It's a major problem and there are small islands going underwater now. Another big problem (college geology coming in handy here - lmao) is that these small degree changes heat up the ocean and change currents and weather... I'll have to get Bill Nye on the rest of this
