Answer: True

Forests are natural reserves on earth. They exhibit large population of fauna and flora. The floral community is responsible for maintaining the climate of the environment. The plants and trees absorbs the atmospheric carbon dioxide, to utilize it as a reactant of the photosynthesis process. Carbon dioxide being a potent greenhouse gas exhibit role in increasing the global temperature, and mainly responsible for global warming. Forests can reduce this impact and acts as carbon sink on earth.

Therefore, the statement "Forests are the only carbon sinks on Earth." is true.
