Pollutionwatch: wood fires are bad for planet, more evidence shows

"Danish and Australian research highlights that home wood burning also produces
methane. This is a powerful global heating gas and further skews the balance
away from climate neutrality. Wood burning produces soot too, which adds to
blackening of arctic snow and increases melt rates.

Comparisons between the climate impacts of wood heating and alternatives are
even worse if we compare it with heat pumps run by wind or other carbon neutral
energy."
