Answer:

Decrease, it flows out

Step-by-step explanation:

Around 30 million acres of forests are lost every year to deforestation, which results in the release of more than 1.5 billion tonnes of CO2. The Rainforest Alliance states that 10 per cent of worldwide emissions are caused by deforestation.
