How is that different? Fossil fuels were also captured many years ago. The only difference is the number of years.

The difference is ff's were captured over many millions of years, and natural forces controlled the total amount of co2 in the atmosphere.

What is happening today is the ff's captured co2 is being released a thousand times faster than it was captured, and that is overwhelming natural forces and causing co2 levels to skyrocket. Wood pellets are one of the ways to counter this.

I could be wrong, but my guess is that you already knew all this and were only pretending to be ill-informed because you are a member of the fossil fuels forever club. If I wrong, then please let us know your views on global climate change.

Main difference is releasing co2 from fossil fuels introduces carbon that wood pellets don’t. Imagine we burn 100% of fossil fuels and then start burning wood pellets, versus going straight to wood pellets. The former releases a lot more carbon than the latter.
Eh, well, how is humans dying out different than dinosaurs dying out? The only difference is the species :D
The time it takes to renew.
