So it turns out theres a """"community""""" on twitter that does nothing but seethe about woodstoves

As expected, they're all euros, mostly bongs. They're constantly demanding that governments ban woodstoves, seething about the smell, clawing that it's hurting their health, ect..

These are a few of them:

I have no idea how I got them in my tl but when I talk about how I just burn all the plastic packing stuff from my wife's Amazon packages they sneed

I swear to god this thought-process is some kind of energy company psy-op supported by pod living bugmen.

Nooooooo muh citeh air smells like burnt wood! It's making muh nose hurt!

Burning wood used to be a good thing, didn't it? Like a renewable way of heating your home because you just plant more trees to reabsorb the carbon?

Then suddenly the Guardian started publishing articles about plans to ban wood burners out of nowhere and suddenly it's a bad thing.

I don't know the science, but in a city, are the done particulates generated by a wood stove really more numerous and more harmful than the shit pumped out all day by cars, lorries, buses, etc. plus the associated brake and tyre dust?

How do the tests differentiate between the different sources of particulates?

I am lighting my wood burner tonight and it's not even cold. Breathe my wood smoke cute twinks.

These people also want to ban cars with "low emission zones"

Renewable in that sense, yes, but not sustainable in any sense considering the energy costs of cultivating more trees to supply demand.

Heating was a major source of European deforestation before other heating options emerged.

You mean planting seeds and then waiting? Yes, very uneconomical.

It's more to the point that fireplaces and hearths were extremely wasteful with heat loss and the amount of wood used to maintain heat. At least :marseyflagnorway: :marseyflagdenmark: :marseyflagsweden: and :marseyflaggermany: created masonry tile stoves with a winding flue chimney and packed stone both burns away any smoke particulates before it leaves the house and absorbs heat from the stones and radiates it out for hours after. 1 firing of 2kg wood could heat the living space for hours iirc. However electric qnd gas heating were invented when these were really becoming more common so this tech was dropped in favout of that.

"Just throw some seeds on the ground."

"One thing I would like to see done," he stated to a minister in 1582, "is about the conservation of the forests . . . I fear that those who come after us will have much to complain of if we leave them depleted, and please God we do not see it in our time."

More to the point, though: if forest management was easy, deforestation wouldn't have been the global trend for the last 1000 years.

Forest management is hilariously easy 3rd worlders are just subhuman and incapable of thinking of the future in any way.

That's to do with grabbing land for agriculture rather than forest management.

If forest management was hard, the natural state of fertile land wouldn't be ... forest.

Educate yourself r-slur.

That's to do with grabbing land for agriculture rather than forest management.

The use for heating was substantial, mentioned right alongside clearing land for farming:

"Already in medieval times there were protests against the destruction of forest land in order to create more arable land to produce food. Wood from trees, often developed as charcoal, constituted the principal source of energy for cooking and heating..."

If forest management was hard, the natural state of fertile land wouldn't be ... forest.

You seem to struggle with what's easy in a millennium versus a century.

if it's just an occasional thing or in a rural :marseyfrontiersman: area it's not a problem. if an entire city is using wood for heating there :marseycheerup: would :marseymight: be a huge deforestation :marseykilldozerhappy: problem.
