Deforestation, without reforestation, damages habitats, leading to possible extinction of plants and animals, and on the human side ... deforestation usually incurs soil erosion thereby creating a wasteland which in turn can lead to population displacement. All this aswell as the adverse...

IMO the focus in the article is on Greenhouse gasses, though it still does mention, "Occasionally, other factors briefly influence global temperatures. Volcanic eruptions, for example, emit particles that temporarily cool the Earth's surface. But these have no lasting effect beyond a few...
