The problem of burning fossil fuel is that there is an addition of CO2 to the carbon cycle. This works in a similar way with deforestation. A large amount of potential CO2 is stored as carbon in trees. Deforestation takes carbon away from the storage and puts it into the atmosphere as CO2. A higher concentration of atmospheric CO2 increases temperature due to the greenhouse-effect. So my question is how in your opinion deforestation does not add to climate change?
