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 forests are cut down, there are fewer trees to take in this greenhouse gas, leading to higher concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and contributing to global warming.
