There's no doubt that doing these "environmentally harmful things" like cutting down trees contributes to global warning, and I believe that we should be looking at ways to minimise our impact.
So all these people who tell you to save the rain forest, stop driving gas-guzzling cars, recycle everything, find alternative sources of energy, etc, etc, so and on and so forth, have good intentions and should be listened to and their advice taken and acted upon. However, the facts and figures they use to back up their campaigns often needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.
They need to strike a balance between sensationalising what's happening in order to shock us into taking action, but not going to over the top so as to annoy people to the extent that they don't bother doing anything good.
