It's already happening. For example demand for biofuel in Europe
(specifically palm oil for use in diesel fuel) is causing deforestation in
Asia as they rush to plant palm trees.

As it turns out, deforestation is a transient event transferring carbon
from the biosphere to the atmosphere. Switching fuel consumers from
fossil fuels to biofuels is a long term reduction of a mechanism that
transfers carbon from the lithosphere to the "carbon cycle" (sum of
atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere).
