No, stored carbon in trees actually helps mitigate global warming and climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. This process helps to reduce the overall amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which in turn helps to slow down the warming of the planet. However, when trees are cut down or burned, the stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, contributing to global warming and climate change. This is why deforestation is a major concern in terms of climate change.
