The slash and burn technique releases CO2 into the atmosphere. The trees that used to fix this CO2, hold the soil in place and provide water vapor through transpiration are gone. The the lack of water vapor decreases precipitation, the lack of precipitation dessicates the soil, the dry soil without any roots anchoring them is more susceptible to erosion, the increased greenhouse gas of CO2 traps more of the suns heat, leading to even dryer soil, the fertile topsoil blows away. In a few years that lush rainforest will become a barren desert.
