Rainforests and Climate Change Deforestation leads to:• Reduction of emission of oxygen• Reduction of absorption of carbon
dioxide• Increase of carbon dioxide in
atmosphere• Increase in global temperatures• Melting ice caps and glaciers• Rising sea levels – flooding of
coastal areas• More violent storms and
hurricanes
