How many years does it take to grow the wood you burn?
Unless it is instant or you planted it years ago to burn then you have
burnt x tons of wood and produced x tons of CO2 that is now in the
atmosphere.
Greens may claim its carbon neutral but it isn't.

You can buy carbon credits and make anything carbon neutral these days
even though its another lie.


Mostly it's offcuts from tree surgeons. If nobody burned it it would
have to be composted. Which would take years, and make loads of methane.
