Trees take in vast amounts of carbon dioxide. If we cut down the trees then this great sink disappears.
The most likely cause of Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions is deforestation of the Amazon rainforest, particularly due to activities such as logging, agriculture, and mining. Deforestation releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing significantly to the country's greenhouse gas emissions.
No! The greenhouse effect is a natural effect that has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.The enhanced greenhouse effect, which we have now, is the result of human behaviour, namely, deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases additional carbon dioxide. This greenhouse gas is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.
The stronger, or enhanced greenhouse effect is principally the result of human activities that increase the atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane. these activities include burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, manufacturing cement and deforestation.
Deforestation of the rainforests destroyed trees that used to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. This allows CO2 levels to build up in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect, keeping the earth warm. Because of deforestation and man's burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, levels of CO2 in the air are rising, causing global warming.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the greenhouse gas that has increased as a direct result of burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The burning of fossil fuels releases large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, while deforestation reduces the Earth's capacity to absorb CO2 through trees and vegetation.
because deforestation has increased greenhouse gas emissions
Deforestation is a contributor to global warming, and is often cited as one of the major causes of the enhanced greenhouse effect. Tropical deforestation is responsible for approximately 20% of world greenhouse gas emissions
Primarily, deforestation release carbon into the atmosphere that becomes carbon dioxide. This is a greenhouse gas, and adding more of it to the atmosphere will tend to enhance the natural greenhouse effect. As a result, deforestation tends to contribute to the warming of the earth.

Deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Human activities like burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation have increasedlevels of greenhouse gases.
Water vapor is a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere that is not increasing as a result of human activity, or any other reason.
Deforestation, the cutting down of forests, means that the trees no longer remove carbon dioxide from the air, through photosynthesis. More carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere means increased warming. This warming is causing the climate to change.
Greenhouse gas pollution refers to the release of gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, which contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming. This pollution is primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. Addressing greenhouse gas pollution is essential to mitigate climate change and its impacts on the environment.
The stronger, or enhanced greenhouse effect is principally the result of human activities that increase the atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane. these activities include burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, manufacturing cement and deforestation.
