Not to mention the literal burning of what's supposed to be the lungs of the planet!!!!
At this stage Moorey might as well be fracking.

I used to live in the dandenongs, easily 3/4 of the homes there are woodfire suplimented or woodfire only for heating (we had only woodfire). Also easily 3/4 of the population there are hippy "save the planet" types that love to spread the good word about how kind to the planet they are and how terrible us regular omnivorous 4wd owning worker drones are.
It tickled me pink when I found out that in a day, an efficient burning woodfire heater will spew out as much baddies as a truck crossing the state.
'Like having a truck idling in your living room': the toxic cost of wood-fired heaters
Australians choked through a smoke-ridden summer during the bushfire crisis. But many of us are unaware of the silent damage indoor wood fire heaters are doing to our health.

Wood for heating is sort of carbon neutral if you're replanting where you felled. Under UNFCCC accounting rules at least at a national level biomass is assigned a CO2 emission factor of 0 on the theory that the carbon reabsorbed when the biomass regrows.
Its all the other crap thats the problem, but dammit I still love an open fire...

I’m not felling. We have lots of fallen wood, or trees that died in fires. Other trees grow in the spot they’ve left behind. It’s still an issue.

Yeah, I'm just saying at a very high level and very simplified manner that it mostly eventually balances out on a carbon level. Habitat, emissions of other GHGs and a bunch of other issues however are another thing
There are a lot of things to consider, but straight out CO2 emissions is not at the top of the list.

Its so warm and smug in my renewable-powered, electrically heated home on top of my self righteous hill situated in the greenest state in the nation. I just finished my vegetarian dinner and I've got plenty of energy to sneer at one type of plebian. The small capacity motor owning hicks of the dandenong ranges... scum.

Y'know I've seen both Poltergeist and The Evil Dead. Trees are shifty c**ts! Better you get them before they get you.

Old and hopeless
Don’t worry, my little chainsaw battery was charged with Yallourn coal.
I didn’t buy to save the world… I bought it for camping and convenience.
