Deforestation increases the warming of Earth primarily because it decreases the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Trees absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, so when they are cut down, there are fewer trees to absorb this greenhouse gas, leading to higher concentrations of carbon dioxide and contributing to global warming.
