Answer:

Deforestation

Step-by-step explanation:

Deforestation is the indiscriminate or unplanned cutting down of trees. Due to deforestation, carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere. This is due to release of carbon present in plants as CO2 through the action of saprophytes or combustion. An increase in atmospheric CO2 may lead to global warming because of the so-called greenhouse effect.
