Burning trees for energy is not carbon-neutral! - Burning trees emits more CO2 per unit energy than fossil fuels - Harvesting trees for energy releases carbon that would otherwise have remained stored in the forest - It often takes decades for CO2 from burning to be re-absorbed by new tree growth

It's much less "they" and much more "we" who have to reduce. We're not all in this together, in terms of responsibility, capacity, wherewithal and even influence.

I’m not sure we do really differ. The standard tools of incentives, light regulation & incremental market instruments could have been applied but weren’t in any meaningful way. As climate is a cumulative issue we now face the repercussions of choosing BAU/rhetoric/lies; ie. major state intervention.
