Burning locally sourced logs or pellets is actually carbon negative bub. When a hot fire is burning it’s one of the most efficient sources of heat and releases so much less CO2 and methane than that same wood would have if left to rot in the forest.

No bub, you're cherry picking rosy analysis and derp into confirmation bias. You're welcome.

It's amazing the stories we tell ourselves so we believe what we're doing is the right thing even when it's not. Vermont has some of the dirtiest air in the country in the winter because of all the wood burning. It's not healthy it's not sustainable no matter how much you try to convince yourself it is.

Yep, wood stoves can release particulates. And natural gas burners can release carbon monoxide. What’s your point?
