The trees in the rainforest's take in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen which takes up 21% of air in the Earth. When deforestation takes place (when an area of land is cleared of its trees) in the rainforest's there are no trees to take in the carbon dioxide. This results in global warming, as the carbon dioxide traps heat within the Earth's atmosphere.

It doesn't. It releases Oxygen and breathes in carbon dioxide as a step of Photosynthesis.
A:
Forests are important parts in the natural process called Carbon Cycle. When alive, they capture atmospheric carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Yet when plants and trees die (IE, by deforestation, [illegal] logging, etc.) the captured carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere thereby increasing the risk of Global Warming. This happens in all forests, not just the rain forest.
Deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels are the main causes of man-made Global Warming.

How does cars damage new forest?
cars damage the new forest by relesing carbon emissions that destroy trees
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Why did Vatican City become carbon neutral?
The Vatican Climate Forest, to be located in the Bükk National Park, Hungary, was donated to the Vatican City by a carbon offsetting company. The forest is to be sized to offset the carbon emissions generated by the Vatican during 2007.
Why does commercial farming have destructive affect on the rain forest?
it produces carbon
How does a forest plantation project in the Philippines earn green or carbon credits under the Kyoto protocol?
Emissions trading allows industries in developed countries to effectively reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide by investing in forest plantations and clean energy projects in developing countries. (See Carbon Credits and Forest Plantations). In theory new growing forests adsorb and store carbon to offset the carbon emitted from industry. In practise these credits might not be truly additional, for example forestry in one place might be an excuse to de-forest elsewhere. The long-term management of the forest, particularly the susceptibility to fire and drought also needs to be considered.

Do forest fires release carbon dioxide?
The amount of carbon dioxide emitted each year varies according to the amount of forest burnt. However, there is no net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from forest fires, as long as the forests are allowed to recover and regrow.AnswerVery little, compared to human emissions. It's hard to say exactly... It is 25.687%, approximately, it is 25.7%it is 25.687%
Why does burning a forest result in carbon dioxide emissions?
It's all in the chemistry. CO2, from which the carbon in the wood was derived, is re-released into the atmosphere as the wood burns. (CH2O + H2O) + O2 --combustion--> 2H2O + CO2
If I am standing in the middle of a forest and am afraid where am I?
You are in the Frightening Forest.
Develop your own policy to reduce UK carbon dioxide emissions by 80% by 2050?
Grow more green plant life. Reason; plants breath in carbon dioxide, and exhale oxygen.
Approximately what percentages of global carbon dioxide emissions comes from forest fires?
Very little, compared to human emissions. It's hard to say exactly...It is 25.687%, approximately, it is 25.7%it is 25.687%
Does the weather affect the temperate forest?
the weather does affect the temperature in the forest.
