A new study shows that cutting down trees for paper, furniture, and fuel emits three times more carbon than flying.
The paper is here
What’s the point of comparing it to flying? That’s completely meaningless. There’s no possible building material that is “climate friendly” while we’re still using fossil fuels for industry and construction. The only question of significance here is wether wood is more sustainable than other forms of building material. They make no attempt to make a comparison to the ecological impact of metal or concrete production.
I read the article and wtf. It’s half between a pos article and useful info.
Logging generates a lot of carbon in the atmosphere, and after 75% of the article there is finally the reason : because we are burning it.
Wtf is this pos.
Yes burning wood emits carbon. Like any other burning thing.
But not directly for creating paper, furniture or building.
Tho there is some right in there, where yes wood can also be bad for the environment depending on how it is used, like burning a lot of paper in the trash. Incinerating furniture and other sources of waste…
