Sustainable energy from woodlands

http://www.woodlands.co.uk Sustainable energy? Renewable sources of energy from woodlands? By managing forests to provide fuel and building materials we can create a sustainable environment. Matthew Woodcock from the Forestry Commission illustrates the benefits of wood as a fuel with help from a poster. This eductional tool shows sources of wood such as upland woodland, fast growing willow ,coppice management, and community woodland to name a few. He also shows how logs can be used for timber buildings and the offcuts for wood chip heating. It includes a section showing children at school learning about the carbon cycle whilst also being kept warm by a wood chip boiler.

@Genuinemythman It seems every 20 years, so-called "scientist" come up with some cockamamie study that makes mankind out to be some horrible cancer on the Earth.

Back in the '80's 99% of all scientist said mankind created a hole in the Ozone layer and it's been debunked. Come to find out it was all just a ponzi scheme to get government grants to fund worthless research. Once the jig is up these so-called "scientist" create some other environmental catastrophe to keep the cash flowing.

@DaneStolthed Scientist aren't saying we are going to run of air, they are saying the balance of methane and Carbon dioxide are above normal levels because of human intervention causing an increased greenhouse effect elevating global temperatures. Its hard to enjoy breathable air in 110 degree weather.

@Genuinemythman We would run out of breathable air before we over produce CO2. So are 99% of your scientists saying we're running out of air any time soon?

In Christopher Columbus' day I bet 99% of their "deep thinkers" thought the Earth was flat, it didn't make it true now did it?

Don't get me wrong I am a conservationist and I immensely enjoy the creation God has given us. I agree we need to be good stewards of it but we shouldn't lie or fear monger people into our view point. Capiche?

@DaneStolthed That's right assuming enough plant material is planted per the CO2 being generated. Last time I checked coal mines weren't located under giant reforestation projects. A single plant only uses so much CO2 to function. Trees cannot process excess CO2. If I gave you dumpster truck full of food every day it wouldn't matter because its a higher than the maximum amount you can process. Global warming is accepted as fact by over 99% of scientists in every country. Learn math.

[DaneStolthed]

Global warming is a hoax, burning coal and wood produces carbon dioxide that plants need. Plants soak up carbon dioxide and produce oxygen for us to breath.

The new thought about "fossil" fuels is that the process of their creation is abiotic and therefore not fossil based. Maybe do some research on this as you probably want to maintain a credible set of information in your dialog.
