That is a prodigious amount of carbon dioxide that is left in the atmosphere as a result of extensive amounts of deforestation. The Article also tells us that since this number was thrown out in public, deforestation has greatly declined, this huge difference in removing different forest areas around the world is already showing great in improvement in slowing the effects of climate change on a global
