Ive come across a few places that have said that logging releases carbon – how is the carbon released into the atmosphere – isnt most of the logging for timber/pulp, not firewood?

Old growth would be used for timber. Some percentage of it gets burned, which releases carbon. I don’t know how significant that is. They trees, though, were actively scrubbing CO and turning it into wood. Maybe not capturing carbon can be viewed as releasing carbon. Regardless of the wording, it has huge impact.
