I have to do this report for my World History class about why I think humans are causing global warming. I had to pick three reasons, and one of them was deforestation. So how is this causing global warming and why is it bad for us?

Don't forget to mention in your report how George Soros funded scientists like James Hansen to promote "global warming" and say that it was caused by humans. He gave the guy over $700,000 to promote "man-made global warming" even though there's no scientific proof of such a thing.
Who know how many more people he's paid to say that global warming is real and is caused by humans.
I guess with that kind of money you can convince a lot of people that it's real and not the big political hoax that it really is.
Sad that such rich people have such an influence on popular belief. Remember Soros was the guy who spent over $26 million trying to stop Bush from being elected into office. Soros is one evil guy with a lot of money. A dangerous combination.

Angry liberals are causing it by all their hot air. I wonder what it will take for you to admit you were wrong. In 10 or 20 years it will be funny to see you try to talk yourself out off all you said here. By then you will be trying to make money from saying global warming is now causing global cooling and that if we don't punish the evil Americans then world will end. Lucky for us most people don't fall for it. I'm not sure why you are asking a question like this because I know you won't accept any facts that go against your "religion".

Deforestation is not a good thing.
Forests are habitat for various creatures, provide soil stability in catchment areas and heaps more, but as regards global warming, CO2 absorption and O2 production are mainly the province of the oceans, while green plants in general are doing the job too, (not just trees!), it's in the oceans that the huge bulk of the work is done, it would behoove us to be more concerned about our oceans and the phytoplankton therein.

If the forest is replanted, this is good to prevent global warming.
Trees use a lot of co2 as they grow, much less after they are fully mature.
If trees are cut down and made into furniture, homes, log cabins, etc, this has the effect of sequestering carbon.
Greenpeace's co-founder explains this better in the attached link.

Pretty basic - tress absorb CO2. Fewer trees means less CO2 absorption means a bigger greenhouse effect means more global warming. Global warming is bad for us for a lot of reasons.
Deforestation is responsible for 18% of anthropogenic (human caused) greenhouse gas emissions.
