That means fewer trees are around to take in carbon dioxide, so it stays in the atmosphere, adding to the greenhouse effect and causing global warming.
Cutting down trees contributes to global warming because trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When trees are cut down, this stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere, adding to the greenhouse gases that trap heat and contribute to global warming.
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air. They store the carbon and release the oxygen. They do this during all the time they are growing. Logging and cutting down trees means they are not taking carbon dioxide from the air. Because carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas causing global warming, cutting down trees increases the warming. Global warming means 'all over the world'. So cutting down trees in Indonesia will affect the warming in Los Angeles. Cutting down trees in Los Angeles will affect global warming in Djakarta.
Over-logging of trees means that they can no longer remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This has actually happened and levels of carbon dioxide are building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.

Yes, trees and plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2, which is a huge greenhouse gas), store the carbon in their roots, trunks and branches and release the oxygen. If the trees are no longer present, then the CO2 will remain in the atmosphere, where it adds to the accelerated greenhouse effect. This is causing global warming.
Junk mail means that more trees are cut down for the paper. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so trees slow global warming. If there are fewer trees, then global warming increases.
Plants don't increase global warming. In fact, they do the opposite.Plants, trees and all vegetation reduce the effect of global warming by removing from the atmosphere these gases like carbon dioxide and storing the carbon in their trunks and branches. They help to reduce global warming.
It can contribute to it because deforestation takes down very large quantities of trees, and trees absorb carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas. When the trees are cut they release much of their carbon, and new trees are not planted to remove more. The topsoil where the trees once were is eroded away, and topsoil can take thousand of years to form, so you can no longer plant in this area.

Trees absorbing carbon dioxide gas. Cleaning forests cause for Increasing CO2 level.
Deforestation contributes to global warming because trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When trees are cut down or burned, this stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and trapping heat, leading to rising temperatures and climate change.
