Answer: It increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, enhancing global warming.
Explanation:
The forests can be called as universal carbon sinks because the large number of trees in the forests requires carbon dioxide for conducting the process of photosynthesis. The deforestation is a process by which the forests are removed and clear cut so as to obtain the land occupied with the forests, obtain wood and for other human oriented needs.
The deforestation process will likely to increase the abundance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide being a greenhouse gas will increase the global temperatures and will cause fluctuations in the climatic conditions. The climate may retain the warmness for long resulting in global warming.
