Tyrell Barron · Answer 1

The answer is (1) because the carbon in the trees is released when it burns and this is the cause of global warming (in part)

It is not (2) because, I don't really know but it's not.

It is not (3) because it is exposing more sunlight and even that hardly affects it

And it is not (4) because biodiversity is the variety of species living in the forest so cutting them all down would just destroy their habitat and they would have to leave.
