How will the destruction of forests affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

1.It should have no effect. Carbon dioxide is put in the air by the burning of fossil fuels.
2.There will be fewer plants to absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, so carbon dioxide can build up in the atmosphere.
3.It should reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced since there will be fewer organisms undergoing cellular respiration.
4.Oxygen and carbon dioxide are balanced. If you increase carbon dioxide by plant removal you will decrease the amount of oxygen.
