95% of all CO2 in the atmosphere is from respiration. The remaining 5% comes from anything that was alive and is burnt. Fossil fuels make up to 3% of the total CO2 annually produced although almost 40% of that CO2 does not remain in the atmosphere for more then a few hours.

How could cutting down trees lead to the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. When trees are cut down and not replaced, this carbon dioxide is no longer absorbed, leading to an increase in its levels in the atmosphere. Additionally, when trees are burnt or decompose, the stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
