Wood-fired pizza is bad for the environment, according to science erwrer43535dfs34.jpg
Is Brazil's love of authentic wood-fired pizza wrecking havoc on the environment? (iStock)
If you love wood-fired pizza or wood-smoked barbecue, then go outside right now and peel that Go Green bumper sticker off your Prius. Science says your favorite foods may be major causes of environment pollution.
A study conducted by 10 air pollution experts from seven universities has found that burning wood to cook your trendy kale-and-feta pie or your old-fashioned Texas brisket is polluting the air we breathe.
The collaborative study, whose findings have been published in the journal Atmospheric Environment, was conducted in the fifth largest metropolitan area in the world: Sao Paulo, Brazil, home to 21 million people, 7 million road vehicles and one very dangerous air pollution problem.

Who gives a $@&//:],~{>£!{~\\£^.
Dam you!!!! That’s my line!!!
I thought I was the only one that uses those @#$@#$s!!!!
Are you from NY? :)
Results here were published in The Journal Stupid.
Burgers over an open fire tonight!
Hey I like the environment and everything but there are quality of life issues to consider. Keep your hands off my hickory smoked BBQ.
Liberals won’t be happy until everyone is either dead or living in caves eating rocks and twigs.
Of course, they says these stupid things while at a Starbuck$.
Shut up Shut up Shut up Shut up Shut up Shut up Shut up SHUT UP!
and ISIS burning Christians does what?
It’s going to slowly get to the point where my brush burning during the winter becomes illegal. It already is in CA. After that campfires will become illegal. Then having fires in an indoor fireplace will become illegal. All this has already happened in CA.
If they try it in MA the body count will be very high.
It isn’t bad for my environment.
Uh oh. This is NOT going to go over well with the authentic BBQ with the right kind of wood crowd. On the other hand they will probably have the same response as many others; who gives a damn!
I guess our ancestors who cooked everything with wood destroyed our environment pre-1900 or so. I bet they would feel really guilty about that now if they were still around. NOT.
I guess all those who burn their leaves or remnants of an old crop are also adding to the pollution. China is opening a new coal-fired electric plant every week somewhere; no word on that as our government if forcing the closings of ours.
Bizarro world where up is down. Right is wrong. Thought control is now very real; just ask any college grad. On second thought; don’t. They have already been brainwashed to believe in the liberal/progressive narrative. It’s so deeply ingrained now that they may not ever grow out of it even when the facts stare them right in the face.
Just like cults have those who kidnap their members to un-brainwash them; there may come a time when we need to do something like that to the general population as crazy as it sounds.
“...according to science”? Really? Science in general? Astrophysics? Archaeology? Aeronautics? Need I go on...?
All the while they champion the method of prescribed burns across the country.
Here is a fact. Wood (trees) stores carbon after it takes it out of the air. Then, it releases that carbon after either dying and rotting, or by burning. If the forest is left to stagnate and grow old, the old growth does NOTHING to scrub the air since older forests are at the end of the life cycle. Younger healthy forests take tons of carbon out of the air per acre each year and add oxygen as a replacement.
Burning wood is a zero end game pollutent since the wood releases either way-by dying and rotting or by burning.
Forest fire on the other hand, is one of the most polution emitting acts in the world. The level of lead and mercury released by these fires, or prescribed burns, is one the the largest health hazards to humans on the planet. One of the others is volcanism and even mega city dwelling.
What doesn’t pollute the air lately?
Don’t forget the science of phrenology!
You know what’s bad for the environment?
Big government.
Whole forests have been cut down through the years, huge amounts of energy and fuels consumed, and vast quantities of productive energies wasted on non-productive and counter-productive efforts ... there is no greater waste of limited resources than bureaucracy this side of porn and narcotics.
I think every big government proponent, and especially every proponent of Arbitrary government, whoever thinks governance must be both centralized and potent to all ends whatsoever, should not only not be permitted to claim they’re “green” they should be flogged if they do so.
The fact that humans exhale Co2 can be seen as ‘bad for the environment’ by somebody somewhere. Erasing evidence of our existence is an exercise in futility. Besides, I’ll bet forest fires, or active above ground volcanos do a lot more longterm damage to the environment that any amount of Wood Fired Stoves or combustible engine.
I’ll be sure to throw in a few more logs and woodchips this summer
When my pit is going at full song, the plume blocks out the sun and you can probably see it from space
