That's not true though, because it's not 1:1 -- we don't burn one tree, pause, plant a new tree, we burn millions of trees while many more millions of other trees are simultaneously being grown and are at various stages of maturity, only a handful of which (relatively) will be burned for fuel like this. The carbon from the tree burned can be absorbed by all the other, currently growing, trees.
