Trees actually carbon sink via growth aka creating wood. The CO2 they breathe in is turned mostly into growth / basic functioning. So no, you are NOT destroying the potential. In fact, if they grow and die and rot they are going to essentially release all the CO2 they captured. https://extension.psu.edu/how-forests-store-carbon So converting mature trees into lumber is essentially locking out the carbon capture more dramatically, especially if used in long term uses like housing etc. Being turned into firewood would be drastically bad for CO2 capture. What am I missing that makes you think I don't understand? |
