Banning wood burning stoves and fires

[lurker]

All this global warming is getting out of hand.

We need to nip it in the bud, one solution is banning the burning of wood in the UK, a wood fire puts out more pollution than dozens of cars.

It’ll help global warming and hopefully prevent a great smog from happening over winter.

Burning wood is net zero and the pollution is overstated.

I've got wood, reading this thread!. Seriously though, we should ban it.

They’ll be selling micro-carbon capture units to bolt onto the chimney of wood burning stoves next.

We should cover houses in solar panels, and erect windmills on the roof. Cars can either run on compost, or a mixture of good intentions

And use what instead?

I'm conflicted on this one. I'm living on 5 acres of once neglected olive groves. There's also cork oaks, Mediterranean oaks maybe 200 odd trees overallLl. If l don't manage it then the fire risk is massive. Prune to manage the risk and l can be semi sufficient in the winter. A win win. The sense l have is that the carbon capture is overall far more beneficial than the possible cataclysm that would occur if there's a fire on the land. Does that make sense. I don't use chemical controls and the place is generally left as natural space. Rare orchids a feast of natural colour. Any knowledgeable environmentalists that can advise?

Ive got solar panels and make enough compost each year to fill a big dump truck. I'm looking to get a wood burner and think its a good option.

Of course do our bit but while China is burning record amounts of coal and we've got 10s of thousands of flights per day we're pissing in the wind.

nowt, the only reason people have wood burning stoves is to show off about their wood burning stoves

I wash yogurt pots out, recycle to save the planet etc.

Anything to actually grow adds far more benefit to the evironment that anything you do with it afterward assuming it is native and not invasive. You grow the wood, cut it, season it properly and when you burn it the emisions are no worse than buying electricity or gas.

Or to heat their house in an efficient and secure way.

We have to figure out what doing our bit actually means in the real world.

Doing our bit is going to be working people getting taxed and shafted as an excuse while the changes that need to be made on a national and business level are ignored.

Whats your solution?

And they’re taking carbon from industries in the locality for offshore storage.

Well there are plenty of holes in ground offshore to put it in. For me the best way to capture carbon is to plant more trees.

It's already illegal to burn wood or coal in an open fireplace in your home. Modern woodburners give off very little pollution, it's the old inefficient ones that are the problem. Banning woodburners would be like banning all cars because of the old inefficient petrol/diesel ones.

Whales absorb more carbon than trees. We should plant more whales.
