Burning Forests Is Not A Very Good Idea, Decides Guardian (Six Years Too Late)
Burning wood for anything is stupid. We have highly concentrated energy carriers buried beneath the Earth that give us anything we need. They are easy to produce and store, they are highly energetic and efficient, today’s technology allows us to use them without spoiling the environment, and the CO2 their combustion gives us helps nourish plants to get ready for the cold times that are upon us. If hydrocarbons did not exist, someone would have to invent them. Humanity would still be living like medieval peasants without it. We should celebrate fossil fuels. And use the wood for decorative purposes. Or leave the trees alone.
