This effect is a little tortuous - cut down the rain forests and reduce the rainfall over time - so less growth so less CO2 absorbed by the forest as a whole not just the bit where the trees have been cut down. So our 'get out of jail' card is slowly being nibbled away at - more CO2 will remain in the atmosphere and there will therefore be more for us to have to reduce through other means.
