@freemo you just need to plant more trees than you take. it's like bittorrent :)
@bonifartius That doesnt make the act of burning them any less green though. just means in addition to the harm you did some seperate thing that did some good.
Its like saying gasoline is green cause I planted a tree when i was a kid.
@freemo why is burning wood non green?
is chemical energy non green?
@bonifartius Energy which is burned to release CO2 and other pollutants and green house gases isnt considered green.
Of course some small CO2 is usually still considered green over a life time (like solar panel production) but are 0-emmision for producing power... But this is insignificant. For example an acre of solar panels will save about 140 **tons** of co2 a year compared to the same amount of energy from coal.
It is a pollutant because too much of it too quickly will (and has) wiped out most life on earth... yea its a pollutant.. being normal at some level and extremely harmful at another is not an argument that it isnt a pollutant.
