How does deforestation contribute to global warming?

• Trees release oxygen, which is a greenhouse gas.

• Cutting down trees reduces the Earth's temperature.

• Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and cutting them down reduces this absorption.

• Deforestation increases the Earth's albedo, reflecting more sunlight.
