The world's forest is renewable. Maybe the rate of harvest is unsustainable. Maybe the forest is not being renewed for other reasons like the land is being used for grazing or development. But it is renewable.
- hedora 1y agoNot necessarily. Take the dust bowl for example, or look at global desertification rates. We’re basically burning/eating topsoil. It’s beyond modern technology’s capabilities to manufacture/ replace topsoil, so it’s a non-renewable resource, just like coal.
- Krssst 1y agoThe end result will still be that we'll have less forests to eat some portion of atmospheric CO2 and more CO2 because we burnt wood. What's important is what puts us in a good direction to fight climate change, and burning forests more than they replenish does not sound something that is it.
