Why doesn't wood add greenhouse gasses to the environment?

Wood burning is completely safe in terms of Greenhouse Gasses - All fuels produce carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas, when they burn. When the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gasses increases, they cause the average global temperature to rise. Wood differs from the fossil fuels - coal, oil and gas - because it is part of the natural carbon/carbon dioxide cycle.

As a tree grows, it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and stores it in the wood as carbon, which makes up about half of the weight of wood. When the wood is burned, carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. No additional carbon is released because the same amount of carbon dioxide would be released if the tree died and were left to rot on the forest floor.

The carbon in coal, oil and gas, by contrast, are taken from underground stores, usually from overseas, where they were deposited by nature, and released into the air without means for equal re-absorption. When trees are used for energy, a part ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
