Despite popular belief, it is not a great idea to release a shitton of CO2 in a hot minute just because over 200 years, a newly grown tree can consume it back.

- FooHentai 6y agoBit of an overstatement in both directions. If you burn an entire tree each year and maintain a woodlot of 20 trees that take 20 years to grow, you’re neutral. Scale as necessary. It’s bad for local air quality. Also need to be clear on whether we’re talking individual home wood heating or industrial centralised systems.
