carbon footprint

[Welly]

we burned 21 cubic meters of wood last winter

So it's YOUR fault then

No, it's the government's fault for taxing other heating fuels (heating oil now 7.05Kn/litre - 77p, uk = 63p), carbon footprint to Dr. Evil Salamander's head.

10.143.... i havea big foot hahaha more shoe leather to produce ........ohhhhh well who gives a sh*t?? hahaha

i once watched a programme by alan titsmarch about a year ago and came up with a unconventional idea that we are actually not going to fry to death as we are being lead to believe but we are all going to freeze to death in another ice age
as the ice age phonomen actually happens every couple of thousand years and been scientifically proven and this "global warming is just a starting piont for this phase"

im getting my themals out hahaha

I heard we're long overdue another ice age. I'd better get my chainsaw out...

(Did you know some of these frozen mamoths they find were frozen standing up?! I don't think we'll get much warning...)

Burning wood doesn't count, because its carbon neutral (more or less, well less tbh).

As the wood grows it takes carbon out of the atmosphere.
When you burn a piece of wood, you only release that bit of carbon back into the atmosphere.

Fossil fuels are bad because, although they used to be wood / other plant material / animal, the carbon they removed from the atmosphere has been out of the system for so long and has become so concentrated over that time, that the system is struggling to cope. That's the theory, in a nutshell, anyway.

I agree with Dai and Welton (on this) and reckon its a load of bolix too.

Oh! In that case let's burn down all the forests!

Then what would you burn, to keep warm in the ice age thats coming ?
