Answer:

The paper will run out.

Lots of animals will lose their habitats. (80% of animals survive in forests, they might die without them)

Will impact global warming.

Release alot of CO2 (carbon dioxide).

Will increase the greenhouse effect. (These 3 go together)

Oxygen might possibility be greatly reduced. (Rainforest provide nearly 20% of oxygen)

There will be no rain. (Trees absorb the water and released it)

Dead wood will increase (wild)fires.

Greatly impact the water cycle. (Trees keep ground wet)

I know there is only 2 needed but it might help others in the future.

Hope it helps!
