Exactly. I didn't express myself well, but burning wood is carbon
neutral as long as the carbon cycle continues of Co2 to hydrocarbons by
plant growth then back to CO2 by oxidisation. It isn't carbon neutral if
the forest is just wasted and not replanted. But it is a fine thing you
do for mankind every night that you light your woodburner

So given the gas/coal/oil that gets burnt also releases CO2 that allows
new wood to grow, isn't that good too? The only difference being between
a few decades and a few hundred million years!
