Question

Without trees returning water vapor back into the atmosphere, the water cycle becomes critically disrupted. When trees are cut down, there is no longer a canopy to shade the forest during the day and hold in heat at night. This results in extreme temperature swings. Finally, trees absorb greenhouse gasses that contribute to global warming. Fewer trees mean that more of these gasses are released into the atmosphere.
