Not directly. Tsunamis are produced by seismic movements at the bottom of the sea, therefore are produced geologically and not meteorologically.

However, global warming may increase the chances for tsunamis and other natural disasters. An increase in tsunamis may happen due to the fact that changes in the temperature of the oceans may affect streams and underwater geophysical masses producing environmental conditions that, although unlikely, might precipitate seismic movements at a given place.

While "tsunami" is the preferred word for large wave, as opposed to "tidal wave" which has nothing to do with tides, you may hear reporters or news broadcasaters refer to a meteorologically driven rogue wave as a tsunami. We don't have a better word to distinguish between these events.

Will cutting trees cause tsunamis?

No, it would not. However, cutting trees causes global warming. Global warming causes the polar ice caps to melt. When the ice caps melt, the sea level would rise. If the sea level rises, floods would occur. However, floods are not tsunamis, but tsunami causes floods. Therefore, we can conclude that cutting of trees will cause floods, which are about the same effects of a tsunami.
