Detailed explanation-2: -It is estimated that more than 1.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide are released to the atmosphere due to deforestation, mainly the cutting and burning of forests, every year.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Afforestation reduces global warming by reducing the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Afforestation is the process in which a forest is planted in an area that was previously not covered by the forest.
