Answer 2

None of the above responses are correct. Deforestation actually increases the warming of Earth primarily through the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The process of cutting down trees and burning them or letting them decompose releases large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. Trees act as carbon sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and storing it in their tissues. When trees are removed, this stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
