Cutting down forests would mean depletion of trees. Without trees, there would be no photosynthesis, and carbon dioxide would not be replaced with oxygen. This causes a rise in the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Burning the debris requires oxygen, and gives out even more carbon dioxide, which has the same effect as mentioned above.

Secondly, most of trees are cut to get woods for burning to get heat energy.This elevates the status of carbon oxides in the atmosphere.
Thirdly, trees are converted into useful products such as paper, furniture and the likes. The process of manufacturing paper requires lot of energy derived from biomass(may be tree cuttings) and dissipates considerable gases during processing. If transportation of raw material and finished product is added then the sum up of CO2 will be enormous (combustion of vehicular fuel).
Finally cutting of trees attracts flooding that culminates into rotting of flora and fauna. A severe flood may ruin villages and towns. The rotting and the recreation of infrastructure add further to CO2 emission.

How do animals add carbon to the atmosphere?
Just like humans do they breathe it out. They then remove carbon when they eat. This is part of the natural carbon cycle, and does not add extra CO2 to the atmosphere.
What will burning trees in a forest or gasoline in car will do to the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide, laid down millions of years ago when fossil fuels were formed.
Which process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
There are several. The main ones are:PhotosynthesisCarbonate formationDissolution of carbon dioxide into seawater
What processes add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
Combustion of fossil fuels and aerobic respiration in living cells are two processes that add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.Usage of Carbon containing fuels and Respiration
What human activities do not add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
Riding a bicycle is carbon neutral, which means it has no carbon footprint. It does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.Many other human activities, particularly sports and exercise are carbon neutral. But whenever you turn on some electrical gadget or ride in a fossil fueled vehicle you start increasing the carbon dioxide in the air.
What are two ways that deforestation adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
Rotting trees add carbon dioxide (and sometimes methane) to the atmosphere.Burning trees releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
How do organism add carbon to the atmosphere?
When a organism dies and decays it emits carbon dioxide.
What is the modern source of carbon?
The modern source of carbon in our environment primarily comes from the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. This process releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Additionally, deforestation and land use changes also release carbon stored in trees and soil into the atmosphere.
Explain how people are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
There is a natural cycle in which animals add carbon dioxide to the air and plants remove it, thus maintaining a stable concentration of carbon dioxide over a very long period of time. Humans are part of this natural cycle. Since the start of the Industrial Age, humans have been adding additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, increasing the proportion by around 35 per cent, from 260-280 parts per million (ppm) to the present 380 ppm. We do this by burning fossil fuels, manufacturing cement and by deforestation. We can reduce our impact on carbon dioxide concentrations by reducing and eventually eliminating our consumption of coal, oil and natural gas, by finding alternative processes for cement manufacture, including the capture and sequestration of gas produced, and by ceasing deforestation - even allowing some forests to return.

Carboniferous plus time scale plus 2010?
there is no word called carboniferous carbon is an element that has a grayish blackish color. its most common molecule is carbon dioxide. if you add that to the time scale, the carbon dioxide will add up in the atmosphere that we live in. ifyou add 2010 then you havethe amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the year 2010... which is alot. and people are tryingto reduce carbon emissions.
Does logging really add CO2 to our atmosphere?
Yes. Trees are so important because they turn Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere into Oxygen which we need to stay alive. So, the more trees that are cut down, the more Carbon Dioxide will stay in the atmosphere.
What will burning trees in a forest or gasoline in car will do to the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide, laid down millions of years ago when fossil fuels were formed.
Which process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?

Are bio-fuels good?
Yes because they do not add polluting carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, causing global warming. (They release carbon dioxide that was recently removed from the air, so biofuels are carbon-neutral.)
How is carbonic acid produced?
Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere or in soil gases dissolves in water: CO2 + H2O => H2CO3 carbon dioxide + water => carbonic acid
Does photosynthesis add oxygen to the atmosphere?
Yes, photosynthasis does add oxygen to the atmosphere becaause the organisms (plants) developed the ability to photosynthasise. By taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
