Burning wood
mardi 1 mai 2018 à 02:00The EPA has declared that burning wood is carbon-neutral.
In a stable climate, it would be carbon-neutral if done at a sustainable rate over a long time. However, we can't assume that another tree will actually grow to the same size -- not when logging is used for deforestation. But even if another tree starts to grow, it might not reach maturity. Global heating could dry up the region, or allow pests to migrate which would kill that tree.
