If the trees are burned, the carbon dioxide released will raise airborne levels, and greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. But just cutting down the trees stops their process of REMOVING carbon dioxide from the air, which all green plants do.

Do rain forests affect global warming?

Yes, rain forests play a crucial role in mitigating global warming. They act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Deforestation and degradation of rain forests contribute to global warming by releasing stored carbon and reducing the forest's ability to absorb CO2.
