The problem isnt people burning things occasionally.
The problem is single companies burning the output of a hundred thousand people on a daily basis. And cruise ships. Tankers. Oil wells. Planes. Ships. Etc
The commercial and industrial sector like to offload the burden to us to make us feel bad for leaving a light on and having a bonfire but maybe look at a coal power plant and the Las Vegas strip. Or the shipping and plane apps.
That’s still a potentially renewable resource, as far as the wood itself.
Burning wood produces pretty much exactly as much carbon as it takes to regrow the wood, so give it enough time it should equalize itself within decades… Maybe low triple digits of years…

Wood pellets are exactly that kind of large industrial operation, with the pellets mostly shipped to power plants
Ah yes of course. I was thinking of home use pellets.
Yeah, so long as the number of home users does not rise, they can be ok. Most of the world getting off fossil fuels can’t shift to wood

Not all ships are bad. There is a pretty cool 3 mast sailing ship around here from time to time.
