The Earth’s trees absorb more than 7 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide — about a fifth of what the world lets out into its atmosphere — and release it back as oxygen or bind it into ...
Additionally, the effects of afforestation and reforestation will be farther in the future than keeping existing forests intact. [50] It takes much longer − several decades − for the benefits for global warming to manifest to the same carbon sequestration benefits from mature trees in tropical forests and hence from limiting deforestation.

Additionally, the effects of afforestation and reforestation will be farther in the future than keeping existing forests intact.

Deforestation in the United States was affected by many factors. One such factor was the effect, whether positive or negative, that the logging industry has on forests in the country. Logging in the United States is a hotly debated topic as groups who either support or oppose logging argue over its benefits and negative effects.
The trees that are no longer there can’t continue to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, and the forests that grow back won’t capture enough carbon to break even for decades or centuries, if ...
[242] [243] There are anecdotal reports of negative health effects on people who live very close to wind turbines. [244] Peer-reviewed research has generally not supported these claims. [245] [246] [247] Pile-driving to construct non-floating wind farms is noisy underwater, [248] but in operation offshore wind is much quieter than ships. [249]

Carbon emissions from deforestation is an important issue to look at with the increasing problem of global warming.Currently, about 4% of B.C.′s total green house gas (GHG) yearly emissions are from deforestation, which is quite a low percentage compared to B.C.'s total GHG emissions, and works out to be about 6,200 hectares of forest land is converted to non-forest use per year.
