Do you believe that wanting to burn wood is sensible?

The evidence says it's not!

Stop burning trees to make energy, say 650 scientists before Cop15 biodiversity summit carbonbrief.org/daily-brief/st

Results: [USA] women who used their wood-burning fireplace/stove ≥30 days/year had an elevated rate of lung doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2023.

Even if humans did stop their heating activities by stopping burning carbon (AKA , ) that would NOT prevent the human caused ecological crisis. is one negative consequence of a multitude of human activities that are systematically damaging the .

Clever question wording!

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.

Out of the list -

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)
