The correct response is:
Cutting trees releases stored carbon, and there will be less trees to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Deforestation leads to climate change primarily because trees store carbon in their biomass. When they are cut down, this stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. Additionally, fewer trees mean reduced capacity to absorb CO2, exacerbating the greenhouse effect and contributing to climate change.
