More co2 and warmer temps will encourage more and faster growth of those same forests. That said - planet temps are not the cause of deforestation - so the two are not linked anyway.

Look what's happening to the rain forests in Brazil and Indonesia and every other emerging market A mere millennium past the entire human population of the earth was about that of the US today. The earth was then at about at maximum carrying capacity for our kind.

A close examination of that phenomena would be exponentially more relevant than worry about jungle cutting.
