2. biomass burning. Burning Carbon that is above ground and putting in the air.
I think 1+2=bad, 2 by itself I don’t think is bad basically what the Native Americans used to do to maintain forests before Europeans. However, we don’t live in a world where we are just doing #2.

- moksly 6y agoThat’s not really how it goes though. We’re using it to make our numbers pretty so we meet the EU and Paris agreements, but it doesn’t actually make us a renewable country, and once the goals are met, political focus will go elsewhere. It could be worse, sure, but that’s not an excuse for not doing better.
