Good morning,

Sixty-five percent, or approximately 100 million homes, in
North America are constructed with wood or gas burning fire-
places. But does burning wood contribute to global warming?

A good question and the answer is... not significantly.
Global warming is almost entirely caused by the burning of
fossil fuels, that releases CO2 into the atmosphere that
otherwise would never be there. Burning wood speeds up, by
some decades, the release of CO2 captured in trees that
would be released anyway when the tree died and rotted.
Clear-cutting and/or burning forests down does contribute
to global warming though, mainly because it reduces the
number of living trees that can take up CO2.

Thanks for reading,

If you want to use your fireplace occasionally, burn arti-
ficial fireplace logs made from recycled wood waste from
lumber milling. Look for manufactured logs that contain
no paraffin, a petroleum product that emits toxins into
the air when burned.
