The evidence says it's not!
Stop burning trees to make energy, say 650 scientists before Cop15 biodiversity summit https://www.carbonbrief.org/daily-brief/stop-burning-trees-to-make-energy-say-650-scientists-before-cop15-biodiversity-summit/
Results: [USA] women who used their wood-burning fireplace/stove ≥30 days/year had an elevated rate of lung #cancer https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2023.108128

Humans have damaged ecosystems by over hunting animals, over farming #animals, over fishing, polluting & generally degrading what were ecologically multifunctional biodiverse landscapes.

However, the fact is that we have to stop burning stuff first and foremost, then restoring peatlands comes down the list somewhere, as do all the other suggested CCR activities and technologies that will not reach the required 10^11 to 10^12 tonne scale in the available time.

Do you understand what are the right (evidence based) methods to reduce the amounts of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions entering the atmosphere (now & future emissions), & how to sequester the anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions that have already been emitted? (legacy emissions)
