The answer for the above question is Deforestation. It involves the removal of trees in large quantities at a time. It affects the atmosphere in a couple of ways which includes; Trees remove carbon dioxide from the air and thus they reduce the amount of CO2 that gets into the atmosphere, acting as global warming. Deforestation causes a release of large amounts of Carbon dioxide in the air through burning of fuels, since there are no trees to remove it.
