The correct response is:
Cutting trees releases stored carbon, and there will be less trees to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Deforestation contributes to climate change because it releases carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) that was previously stored in trees. Additionally, with fewer trees, there is less capacity to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which exacerbates the greenhouse effect and leads to global warming.
