Burning wood is carbon neutral, carbon from trees is not sealed underground like oil, gas, or coal. It naturally turns to CO2 when it burns or decays, no difference.
Unless we check these fanatics they aren’t gonna allow us anything.
Utter bullcrap that most of America doesn't agree with, and even if it does, this ain't a democracy, and majority shouldn't be able to rape the minority.
When dead wood decomposes, CO2 is released. When dead wood is combusted, CO2 is released. Amazingly they are about equal. So, it makes little difference if we let it rot or burn it.
CO2 is plant food, why are they trying to starve the Plants?
The Carbon does not go spinning off into outer space.
Everything stays within the good olde earth and is re-processed, deep within the earth, via heat and pressure
Mothers' milk is a climate threat. Everything is a climate threat.
They will take my Traeger when they pry it from my cold baby backs stained hands.
Expecting something else from The Party Of Death?
The global warming propaganda is just an excuse for globalists to collect taxes and modify the climate to kill off the 80% of the population that the UN Agenda 21 calls for.
Anything that can make one less subservient tot he government is a threat to the government....

“Burning wood is carbon neutral, carbon from trees is not sealed underground like oil, gas, or coal. It naturally turns to CO2 when it burns or decays, no difference.”
But, But, But ... we can’t wait the 55 years till the new tree grows. We must act now or we are doomed.
This is the only fact any one needs to defend the use of wood for heat...
Pretty spot on and indisputable...
No....the only difference is who controls the supply....the free markets or the government.
If you think these people actually care about the environment, you are a dullard.
This is all about controlling energy so they can decide who gets it and who does not.
This is no different than healthcare......they do not care about people without insurance or reducing the number of people who need medical care....they only care about control of a resource that every person needs.
That is the basis for all liberal thought....control.
The “sky is falling” group always has these dire predictions that can never be verified.
I forgot to include where the trees get their carbon, they absorb CO2 from the air and store it as wood and leaves (in deciduous trees) . Those leaves quickly give up their carbon as they only have a short life cycle. Pelleting the leaves would be a win-win as the carbon would be put to use instead of going directly back to the atmosphere.
That is true if whole living trees are used. However, if fallen or dead trees are used, it is not true. In this case, the trees would be turned to CO2 by termites and other bugs which eat wood, and to use them instead for useful heat is strongly net-positive.
