How does the passage establish a link between industrialization and global carbon levels?

Forests are called "storehouses" of carbon dioxide because trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and store it. They also release oxygen which keeps the environment balanced.

Deforestation is very damaging because it releases more carbon dioxide when trees are cut or burned. At the same time, it removes trees that absorb carbon dioxide from the air.

The greenhouse effect may intensify because humans are releasing more greenhouse gases. Even if the sun's radiation stays the same, extra gases trap more heat in the atmosphere.

If fossil fuel use continues, carbon dioxide levels will keep rising. This can cause long-term problems like global warming, climate change, melting ice, rising sea levels, and stronger natural disasters.
