If there is less carbon dioxide absorbed by the forests, it means there will be more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which means more greenhouse gases capturing the sun's heat, and more global warming.

Forests absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. They separate and release the oxygen and they store the carbon in their roots, trunks and branches. Half the weight of a tree is carbon.

This increased carbon dioxide would then be absorbed (at least partially) by our oceans, which currently absorb most of our carbon dioxide. This gas, when absorbed does change the resulting PH of our oceans. Lower PH levels have been shown to cause problems with ocean life that is already under stress due to over harvesting.

How can forests add to global cooling?

Forests take in carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) and liberate oxygen ( O2 ). Carbon dioxide is the cause of greenhouse effect which causes global warming. Hence, if they are more forests then more carbon dioxide is absorbed and there is less of greenhouse effect thus overall global cooling.

How do forests give out carbon dioxide?

Forests release carbon dioxide through the process of respiration by plants and microorganisms, as well as through the decomposition of organic matter. When forests are disturbed, such as through deforestation or wildfires, the stored carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
