[QUOTE="HatsOff, post: 7731935, member: 158216"] Yes, the difference is that the carbon inside the tree was in the atmosphere a few years (decades?) ago, and is an active part of the carbon cycle, since if the tree was left to die and rot away, it would re-enter the atmosphere anyway. Conversely coal has not been part of the carbon cycle for millions and millions of years. It is the massive amount of fossil carbon humans have put into the atmosphere which is the primary cause of climate change. There is some fossil fuel use to fell and transport the timber - but that is no significant extra as compared to coal mining, processing and transportation. Transport decarbonisation is also progressing rapidly. [/QUOTE]
